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 :(
 
Oh no, you poor thing. I've not been in a similar situation but I really, really hope this baby can hang in there. 2 weeks is a very long time to wait in that kind of situation!! Did they not offer a blood test? If not, maybe its worth asking your GP to refer you for one. A blood test can check if your HCG is still rising at the proper rate. At least then you would have more of an idea what exactly is going on. Women can have threatened miscarriages and still carry to term, so not all hope is lost yet!! Take care of yourself xxx
 
WinterWolf, sorry yes they did do bloods and said to come back in on Friday for more to see if it's rising.

My husband has come home early from work to look after me and gave me lots of hugs (trying so hard not to cry right now).
Just been to the loo again and it's bright bright red with small clots on the TP :(
I'm keeping photos of my bleeding since it started on Saturday, and the change is so drastic!

The cramps are getting quite bad right now (with some back pain), I'm really worried this is it, I'm trying to hold out hope but it's hard :(

I did have the same thing. Unfortunatly it was bad news for me. But there are lots of ladies who have this and it works out. Sorry for being so blunt, but people lied to me and i got my hopes up which was even more heartbreaking. Anyways i bleed brown a few days then bright red blood and clots (vaginal scan showed sac, and they dated me behind what i should have been)...eventually expelling the sac with the clots, really bad cramping and back pain.
Really hope your just having breakthrough bleeding. Fx x
 
Sorry to hear you suffered this PeanutButter :(
No-one at the EPU gave me false hope, which I appreciate, I'd rather know the facts and just hope for the best.
The cramps are coming and going at the moment and my back pain has gone for the time being, every time my husband come to hug me, I have to stop myself from bursting into tears, it's so silly :(
I just don't know what is going to happen or when, it's torture!
 
So sorry you at going through this. 2 weeks seems a long time to wait x
I've experienced both sides to the story where I had heavy bleed with clots that ended in a mc and with this pregnancy where I had bright red blood with some clots and it was a happy ending . It's just so hard to tell. I have everything crossed for you of a happy ending xxx
 
Thanks claire_louise9, I just hate sitting around and waiting but I know nothing can be done right now and it is just a case of wait and see :(
 
I’m currently waiting for my 2nd scan booked on the 12th, sitting here with bright red blood and cramps, I just wanted to say your not in your own, every time I go to the loo it’s upsetting seeing it, I’ve tried to rest as much as I can, it’s the waiting that’s the hardest xxx

I went to the loo recently and blood was dripping out into the toilet but it's not soaking through my pad yet.
I just had excruciating cramps which made me double over in the kitchen, so my husband called up the EPU and told them what was going on. He's been amazing and has made me a hot water bottle and has settled me on the sofa.

I get more bloods done on Friday and then I can find out if my hormone is going up or down.

Sorry to hear you're going through the same thing, it's horrible and I hope you have a good outcome!
Keep me posted on how things go? Xxx (hugs)
 
My heart goes out to you. I am keeping everything crossed that bubba sticks and you continue with a healthy pregnancy x

Oh no, excruciating cramps are not a good sign. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you. How are you feeling now? xx
 
So sorry to hear Phillipa. My experience with bleeding and cramps like that wasn't a positive outcome. However my multiple bleeding with this pregnancy turned out to be nothing threatening so I've seen both sides. Really hope you're doing okay hun thinking of you xx
 
Hope you’re ok sweetie and had some rest last night. I’m sorry this is happening to youxx
 
I hope your ok today? I stopped bleeding for a while last night, woke up with nothing, not until I went to the loo, I just need to hold out until the scan, I’ve got to stop googling it, I’m sure it’s not helping, I wish things could just be easy for everyone xxx
 
Update.

Woke up this morning and went to the loo and felt something pass into the toilet. Collected what looked like miscarried tissue and went down to the EPU and had it confirm.
I'm absolutely devastated and haven't stopped crying. My husband has been amazing for me and I'm now back at home.
I feel so numb and don't know what to do :(
 
I’m so sorry for your loss. Make sure you take care of yourself xx
 
I am so sorry sweetheart. You need to let yourself feel whatever you need to feel, let the tears out when you feel like crying and just be as kind to yourself as possible.
I think numb is a good description of how this horrible situation feels but try to be prepared for erratic emotions and let your thoughts out if you feel like you can. I kept mine in a lot when I was going through the same and all I found was that the emotion would build up and then come out even worse and when I least expected it.

Big hugs xx
 
Oh no I'm so sorry for your loss. That's awful. I'm so glad you have a supportive husband, sounds like you're very lucky to have him. Look after yourself xx
 
Sorry hun :( Sending huge hugs. Its heartbreaking :(
Take time to heal and look after yourself.x
 
so sorry :-( :hugs: i completley echo LyndseyB's post, take the time to let yourself feel however you need to to get through this.
