Need some support please ladies, been having a nightmare last few days with today being by far the worst!
Short version of the story, because I'm too emotionally tired right now.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday noticed sticky, dark brown mucus after going to the loo (upon wiping only). Tuesday this dark brown mucus turn to dark red, then bright red over the course of the day, called my GP yesterday to discuss my options, he referred me to the EPU in town. I got a phone called from the EPU saying to come in the next day (today), so went in early and had an assessment and an internal exam.
Neck of the womb is closed which is good, but I am bleeding like a period now and it's bright red, the doctor said I had a few clots inside which they sorted out.
They said it's a threatened miscarriage, I've heard of it before but wasn't sure what to think, I was in such a panic!
They managed to organise a scan for me, the external scan didn't show anything, so had a internal one instead where the doc could see the sac and yolk but it seems I'm more like 6 weeks pregnant rather than 8 weeks (from my LMP). So basically it's too early to see anything or hear a heartbeat, and I've got another scan in two weeks on the 18th April.
I'm back home now, on the sofa trying not to worry about all of this. Got a pad on, mild cramps are starting and all I can think of is the worst outcome
I'm so miserable, I nearly cried myself to sleep last night, my husband knows everything and is worried himself. 2 weeks feels like ages to wait, who else has been in a similar situation?
I don't know what to do
