Hi Everybody, I am new to the site and joined to interact with people in the same boat as me or in a better boat.. im just looking for a bit of advice, if anybody is able to help of course.
On 27th March 12, i was feeling really bloaty so said to my partner i wanted to buy a pregnancy test.(Part of me wanting to get one was because i had being using oristat, a slimming tablet as i was struggling to lose weight that i had gained since i had my son in july 2010.) so.. got home done the test (clear blue) and boom- Pregnant... abit shocked as we hadnt been trying, but all round happy to be able to do all the things i missed doing now my little man has become independent. To confirm the test wasnt tricking, i bought a clear blue digital and a cheap tesco one, both twin pack so i could check again a few days . The clear blue digital came back pregnant 3+ and the other had
appear almost straight away. so over the next few days i toodled on called the dr to get it confirmed, he just said if the tests are positive then your pregnant... called maternity hospital to get booked in and following week had my appointment. she took blood and urine and filled out my book. now i assumed i had conceived in jan ( normally keep a record of my periods but had alot of problems at home so it crossed my mind) but was booked in for 13 week ultrasound on 13th april.. so went in and the sonographer started asking me questions about last period tests blah blah.. and i panicked and said can you see anything on the screen so she said she had to do an internal scan.. she did that and then dropped the bombshell.. i was either earlier then 13 weeks in the pregnancy, or the pregnancy had stopped altogether. she said she could see the sac and a fetal pole but no heartbeat, and referred me to the early pregnancy unit.. so i toodle over there with my other half, im scared at this point.. and the nurse says by the measurements it looks like an early pregnancy so we will re-book you for a scan in a weeks time. Well the scan was yesterday, went in and she asked if i had bleeding or anything, i told her the last 2 days i had a slight smearing of pinky blood ( sorry for too much info) and she carried on.. she said my bladder was empty so would need to do an internal.. she did that and said she couldnt detect a heartbeat, but said it had grown a bit( im not sure by how much i was in a haze, with my partner holding m hand as she went on about options) he then said back to her that the nurse said a heartbeat still may not be detected at this stage, so the woman scanning me said we will bring you back in a weeks time ( great more waiting in limbo for the unknown). then yesterday afternoon, i went a wee and when i wiped, sorry if too much info- but a stringy thing, the only way i can say was it looked like semen or something fling off the tissue and touch my hand, as it hit i felt it was cold and was very thin and had a little bit of blood which i think is just from when it passed with the discharge i have been having,but it boggled me what it was.. i been wearing a sanitary towel in case heavy bleeding because i am now thinking and expecting the worse. Lat night i went a wee and the bleeding was more then when i started the couple days before and had lower back pain, but it was red not the pink, but still watery like the end of a period. today it has started going browny in colour.
Im sorry for the too much info but im worried and concerned.. also because the scan people having told me the size or the dates of the fetus...
what do i do? do i go hospital and demand some answers, get them to take urine and blood to see if its increasing, or do i just let nature take its course and continue crying?
Its Just so worrying and confusing because the pregnancy i had with my son was textbook, dates and everything were spot on.
I appreciate anybody who can shed some light on this for me, whether its good or bad news... its something i will have to face either way.
Thank you ladies xxxx
