Hi. I am new here!
I had a m/c on 13th November 2008 at 4wks 6days. I am now 5wks pregnant as of today.
I started brown spotting on 12th Jan so now am still spotting after six days. The amount is enough to wear a panty liner but i barely need to change it. There has been no red or pink at all, just brown spotting. I have really sore boobs and my stomach feels quite tight (which is the best way I can describe it), I am also really really tired!
I phone the midwife three days ago. She told me to take baby aspirin 75mg, and just see what happens. She has booked me for a the usual home visit 8 weeks pregnant. At 7 weeks I am supposed to see my dr so that I can be booked in for a scan at the Early Pregnancy Unit so that i can let her know that I am still pregnant and she doesnt have a wasted visit!
To be honest, when I had my first m/c noone was that interested. EPU said on the telephone that there was no point in seeing them as I was so early and that i had to wait a week and if i still had a positive hpt then I should ring them back!
I was just wondering if:
1. Has anyone had brown spotting around the time their first period is due, and it lasted for at least six days?
2. Those of you who have had pregnancy hormone levels checked this early in their pregnancy, how did you get this done because noone seems to be offering me this or even caring that much??
Thank you in advance .... feeling a little alone .....
