Hi.
I am confused about what is going on with my body at the moment. I was wondering if you could give me a little bit of advice. I cannot have anymore children after I had my tubes cut and burnt several years ago, and I only have one child currently. I have not had my period in over 2 months and started to get a little worried because I knew once I did get it, it would be twice as bad. four days ago I started to have my usual cramps followed with a little brown discharge. My breasts usually get really sore before my period, but for some reason they were not this time.After that, I noticed some light pink liquid. The cramps got worse and I started to bleed a bright red blood. The next day, I was getting small clotting after using the rest room. I figured that I was passing my unused egg, but I happened to look down and seen a round red clot that was about the size of a quarter and got nervous. Since then its been such bad lower back pain and bad cramping. I have been bleeding somewhat heavier than usual and a lot of little clots are coming out. Does this mean I had a miscarriage or maybe stress caused my period to be prolonged and as a result I experienced some clotting which made my period different?

Hi I ave been reading through your web site and I would be grateful if you could help me get my head around this
I have not had a period for approx 10 weeks and last Thursday I took while cramps down 1 side of my stomach and within hours I was bleeding heavy with large black clots A week later the pain has got no easier and the blood is still pouring out of me I dont want to go to the GP as i lost a child before and I couldnt cope if I was told this again but the unknowing is nearly as bad What do you think is this a miscarriage or an extra late period
Thanks for taking the time to replying to me in advance

Hi, I have high hcg level 23,000 and low progesterone 7.6. I have two healthy babies and history if a blighted ovum. My doctor saw me two weeks ago and did not suspect pregnancy…now I’m scared its another blighted ovum. What are the chances its just low progesterone at this time and I’m 6 weeks and doctor didn’t notice vs bo?

Hi,

I was just wondering if this is normal. At the moment I’m unsure how far I am as I have not had my first scan yet. I had a blood test which shown my hcg level at 230, they repeated the test a week after and it risen to 2296 confirming I was pregnant. I even took a hpt (clear blue) to make sure and this also came back positive at 2-3 weeks. However I have had no symptoms just my breasts are slightly sore every now and again. I’ve had a bit of brown spotting but I assume this is normal and I’ve missed my next period. I’m just scared incase nothing shows on the scan with me having no symptoms. Can this be a normal thing? Should I be worried?

Thanks

Emma

Hi everyone. I’ve never posted on any site before, but felt I needed to on this one. I want to start out by saying, I do have a 6 yr old beautiful little boy. But, had an ectopic 1 yr before we conceived with him. So, because I have him, I am lucky! We have been trying ever since his birth. I’m 35 and have only one Fallopian tube due to the ectopic. I found out we were pregnant April 16th 2013, with a due date on my sons birthday of December 20th. We were overjoyed, as we’ve been trying to conceive for some time. Friday, April 19th I spotted a small amount of brown discharge, I called my doctor immediately, and he assured me it was old blood, but he wanted me to rest. Sunday, April 21st, I woke up in a puddle of blood. I couldn’t believe it, I was in denial! How could something that we tried so hard for, for so long, be gone? What did I do wrong? I sobbed, on the floor, in a fetal position for what felt like iternity. It’s now a week later, I’m still bleeding, and I am more depressed now than I have been. It is devastating and I don’t have any answers to why this happened. I have a huge sense of guilt as I feel something is wrong with me. My husband wants another baby, but now I’m terrified. I feel too old, I feel disgusted with myself, I feel like my body killed my baby. The baby I’ve been wanting for so long. I feel selfish that I could feel like this and have a 6 yr old that is perfect in every sense of the word. I feel suicidal, but think of him and try to push those thoughts out of my head. I know I wasn’t that far along, but it was still my baby. I pray for peace, I pray for something that will make this easier. I’m so sorry that you all went through this, and to the women to come. It’s horrible and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Just know you’re not alone.

Thank you for this site! I found it a couple of days ago when first suspected a miscarriage was beginning to occur. Today I had that confirmed at the doctor, which on one hand felt like relief in knowing for sure instead of wondering in fear, but on the other hand, took away all hope that maybe everything could still be ok and made it instantly real! Since leaving the dr. office I have been a wreck. Fine one minute doing normal activities, to laying on the floor in a hopeless sobbing blob the next! I think the wave of emotions kind of caught me by suprise, and I have a strong desire to name my baby as a way to remember and grieve properly. Your sight is wonderful and is helping me trememndously so I don’t feel so alone in the wave of emotions. My angel baby was hoped for and prayed for and dearly wanted and I never will forget.

I am 22 years old and out of all my moms kids I was the only one with no children. I had finally gotten pregnant by the guy I love so much. I had all these plans for our future all of a sudden yesterday I started to bleed at 11wks and 1day went to the hospital to find out I was miscarrying. Honestly at first I felt numb I couldnt hear anything around me now I find myself crying in and out of the hours that pass… I know god has a plan but the only thing I can think of is why me…

I’m blessed to have a 6 year old son thanks to fertility treatments, but unfortunately have lost three more babies due miscarriage in the past two years. The most recent one, last July, was a partial molar pregnancy. I made it to 12 weeks, and had no idea that anything was wrong until I went for an ultrasound and was told that development had ceased at 9 weeks, and that there was no heartbeat. I was of course shattered. It wasn’t until weeks later that I was told that it had been a partial molar pregnancy.

After waiting the required time before trying to conceive again, and again with the help of fertility treatments, I’m finally pregnant again – just over 11 weeks. My doctor’s nurse told me this time around that what I had thought was just a stomach virus with the partial molar might actually have been the only sign that something was wrong. I’ve just had another apparent stomach virus yesterday with similar, though less severe symptoms that last time (nausea and cramping – and I’ve never suffered from morning sickness with any of my previous pregnancies). I’m scared that it’s happened again. Scans were done at 9 weeks that didn’t show any sign of this being another molar or partial molar, but after losing 3 babies I’m so worried about this one. My next scan isn’t for almost 2 weeks, and I’m wondering if I should be asking to be seen earlier, or if I’m overreacting. If you happen to have time to read this, and can let me know what you think I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
