Most likely I'm having a prolonged miscarriage, but I have been bleeding since Christmas eve night. Can I hear from you mommies who have bled significantly in pregnancies before that turned out okay?
The ER doc refused me a D&C because she couldn't be sure the fetus was not viable. That's cool, but I can't imagine a fetus being okay after my bleeding. I had spotting followed by bright red blood with long, dark red strands of mucosy-blood. I passed two or three gelatanous blood clots (pea-sized). I had heavy cramping day 2-4 but now have light to mild cramping or no cramping. I don't soak any pads in an hour, but have to change liners every few hours. I can see strands of dark blood in the toilet after going. Sometimes I don't see much at all.
My hcg on Monday was 3800 - estimated at 4-5weeks along. U/S showed fetal pole, faint fetus, egg yolk, gestational sac low in the uterus - no heartbeat. Wednesday hcg was 3020, same results in u/s as before. I am wondering if this is vanishing twin or not. Any answers about bleeding and what can still be viable after 8 days of this?
