questions about miscarriage

[clueless26]

just had a miscarriage yesterday. I was only about 5 weeks preg. I went to the hospital yesterday after finding bleeeding in the morning. I took my preg test last weekend and it came back preg on the digital one. I didnt go to the dr or anything until i started bleeding. They werent concerned so i went to the hospital where they took blood and a urine sample.... both preg test came back negetive so the nursery said it was a miscarry, but didnt really tell me anything else. I could call back for the blood results, but I dont know if it will matter not that I'm not preg anymore. The nurse just said take pain killers for the cramps. I'm confused and wondering Does this feel like a normal period? How long does the bleeding last? I've been having bad cramping since thursday night before I had the miscarriage. The cramps feel like period cramps, but I dont normally get them that last more than a day.

thanks.... if anyone has had one please let me know. I'm a bit worried. They never did a scan or anything. How do I know everything is okay? Do I just bleed and then when everything stops it's okay? I dont know....Should I phone the doctor and ask about the blood results or does it matter?

no advice, as I was further along, but would imagine so early it would be more like a heavy period (certainly a friends experience), I wouldn't worry too mauch about a scan either as they cannot really see much before 6-7 weeks, so ur bloods will have given more information...

I've no experience of this but I'm sure someone will be along who had an early MC to offer some advice

my first miscarriage was at 6 weeks 3 days and that needed medical management and hospital admission but my second one was at about 5 weeks and I just bled like a normal period but heavier and more painful.

Watch out for clots and bad pain and if you get either go to A&E hun. If your in a lot of pain on Monday it maybe worth going to your GP to get some strong co-codamol or something.

Sorry for your loss

Hiya hun, firstly Welcome to Pregnancy Forum and sorry it wasn't in better circumstances

So sorry for your loss

With one of my losses I lost at between 6/7 weeks but mine wasn't a complete miscarriage and I was still testing faintly positive. The fact you are testing negative means you have more than likely had a complete miscarriage and therefore no products of conception are left behind

The bleeding can last a week or so but the cramping should certainly subside in a day or so but if it doesn't or you bleed for longer then go to your dr and ask for a scan to make sure the Miscarriage was complete.

So sorry again, any questions then please shout

Hi honey, I'm so sorry for your loss. In the past i've had 4 early miscarriages, all somewhere between 4 and 8 weeks. I think everyone's different, but for me the bleeding for very heavy and red, fresh and different to my periods. I have been hospitalised for two of them due to the pain i was in and was loosing large clots.

On only one occasion did the hospital do a scan and to be honest it was more traumatic than helpful or reassuring. I was made to sit in a waiting room surrounded by happy mums to be with big bumps. Then the women doing the scan talked in jargon, saying she could see a sac but i needed to empty my bladder for an internal scan for a clearer picture. She made us think everything was ok, then it turned out just to be fluid and the pregnancy was completly gone, so a scan isn't something i'd recommend from my own experience, but as i say everyones different.

What I would say if you've got much pain or concerns contact your gp and don't be fobbed off. I'm sorry for going on a bit and i hope this has helped. If there's any questions i can help you with please feel free to pm me x.

cramping has stopped mostly now... I had been in pain really bad on thur, friday and saturday. Yesterday cramping was little, but I tried to do a bit of walking to help it... I am still bleeding though it is starting to slow down and it feels like a period. I passed somethin really strange lastnight and I'd never see anything like it before so it freaked me out a bit. It looked like some sort of tissue or something. It was a lumpy like thing about an inch big. I dunno what it was but I dont think there is need for concern. It's all scray really and I'm worryin about everything. I didnt get the results from the blood as I didnt want to know that I wasn't preg anymore.

Thanks so much for all of your advice and support.
