Miscarriage I think - Page 2 « Back to Group Discussions

[incorrigible]

It seemed redundant to start another thread with the same title, so I hope you don't mind me adding to this one. I'm bleeding a bit, which has always meant I was past the point of no return. I test tomorrow morning, and will know the results right away. I already have other familiar symptoms of miscarriage though, so I'll be REALLY surprised if the test comes back at anywhere near healthy levels. 

I have the most horrible headaches when I miscarry. I think that's the worst part of it for me. It feels like my brain is in labor, and I'm a total wimp against headaches because this is about the only time in my life I ever have them. =/

At least I didn't have to wait long this time. Last time, I knew I was preg for like a month and a half before I miscarried. I was all excited and sending belly pics out to all my family and stuff. That was awful.

As the OP I have no problem with you posting in the same thread - as you say it makes sense.  I really hope a miscarriage is not to be for you.  I would reassure you with the fact that bleeding is pretty common in the first trimester but if you have other symptoms also so idk.

I will pray for you that you are not miscarrying.  Update us tomorrow on your test.

Sending more prayers for you and your baby, incorrigible.

OK, well I'm still in the game...just barely. I tested at o'dark-thirty this morning (seriously, it was still dark out! lol). My combined hormone levels are "exceptionally high risk of miscarriage" low, but not actually "in the process of a miscarriage" low. It's very unlikely that this one will stick, but I haven't lost it yet so there are no garauntees. 

I have to be honest here. I'm equal parts relieved and disappointed. I really really really want more kids. Dh and I joke that we want 14, in sets of 3. =D At the same time, it feels a little like the universe is holding a carrot in front of my nose and at any moment the carrot will be yanked a way, and I'll realize I've just stepped off a cliff...again. 

This is the first time I've ever bled during pregnancy and it hasn't been a sign of miscarriage. I seem to have stopped bleeding now, which comforts me. The best theory presented so far is that I over did it the night before. Dh and the kids made cookies to take to friends in town, and I went with to deliver them. I just sat in the car mostly. We even drove to the house halfway down the block! All I did was walk from the car to someone's door, stand there and chat for a couple minutes, then go sit back in the car. We went to people's houses in an order based on what their families were doing at that time of night, not just a quick path, so I was sitting and resting a lot in between. Apparently my body felt that was overdoing it, though.

That is so how I"m feeling right now. I lost my baby last night...I'm so stinking discouraged. It partly seems so hard because I have no trouble at all GETTING pregnant...

So sorry JoyfamMama!  HUGS........

[incorrigible]

Man, that sucks. =/ *hugs*

No problem. Sorry to hear your news take care of yourself

Gah I hate this bleeding... It started again tonight dark red and quite a lot. I passed 2 decent sized clots which freaked me out further. Laying in bed now trying to rest, it's all I can do. I wish I knew my hcg results from Monday and today. I have an ultrasound Monday so I guess I'll know then anyway.

[Stormikris]

They don't call to tell you or is it done out of office? I would call tomorrow and get the results. Explain that you are having clots now. Wishing you the best.

[Stormikris]

Sorry double posted.

[mamaki]

They got back to me but only the first one was back.  It was done on Monday, when I was 6wks + 4 days and it was 5390.  I think that sounds pretty good but I'm anxious to know the results from this afternoon.

Sorry JoyFam

Incorrigible, I had a little bleeding early with dd3 that stopped and didn't come back. I hope it's the same for you.

Maki, I have read quite a stories on MDC of SCH with positive outcomes. Hopefully yours will be another.

Thanks, I hope so too.  I had a SCH with my last baby and he turned out fine but I this pregnancy the bleeding started a lot sooner and I've had a lot more bleeding which is what is worrying me.  I've now had 5 bleeds and am only 7 weeks.  The first bleed was like a period and the next 4 have been heavy red for a few hours and then slowed/turned brown then spotted brown a few days.  That's where I'm at now again - brown spotting.

I think I'll go read some SCH stories to try and reassure myself - thanks for the suggestion :)

I have a friend who said she bled most of her first tri with all 3 of her kids!!  very scary, but all were perfect!

[incorrigible]

I appreciate all the well wishes. I guess I should have trusted my gut with this one, though. I started bleeding more heavily last night and as of this morning my hcg is back down into the single digits. My body seems to have given up the fight. On the up side, the headaches are gone! I wish you all the best of luck with your pregnancies. If I happen to get another chance before August, I'll be sure to pop in with an update.

hugs incorrigible. so sorry for your loss. please visit us often  i hope you will see a bfp again as soon as you are ready.

[mamaki]

That's reassuring :)  I had a VM from my Dr while I was out picking up my son from daycare.  She said there was a "huge rise" in my HCG levels.  Though I'd still like to know the second number it was very reassuring.  She also said she'd sign paperwork for reduced work hours which I think is good (I work full time).  I think I need to rest and take it easy more (hard with working full time, 3 kids including a toddler!).
