Hi everyone, well its been a while. I had my first miscarriage at 5wks 1day back in march, it was a complete miscarriage. Last week i discovered i was pregnant again. I should be 5wks 2days, yesterday was hard as it was at that stage i had my first miscarriage. As i got through it ok, i was feeling a bit more positive, but then this morning i went to the loo, and was bleeding. It wasnt bright red blood like last time, more dark brown, which i know can be normal in early pregnancy but there was a lot of it. It then stopped, but has now started again. At the moment its only slight. I spoke to my g.p who says dark brown blood is a sign of a missed miscarriage and has booked me in for a scan on thursday. I'm devastated, not knowing if my baby is alive or not, and having to wait another 3 days before i can get a scan, dont know how i'm going to get through this week.

This is so horrible. I really hope that this is implantaion bleeding and not a missed miscarriage. 3 days is a long time to go with out a scan. Is there any chance you can call into another Ob for the scan? Either way my heart and prayers are with you.

Amanda,
Sweet friend, I hate that you are going through this uncertainty, as it's very scary. I agree with Lee Lee, is there a possibility that you could go to the ER for peace of mind?
Also, I suffered a missed miscarriage and I NEVER saw any blood...never (Don't put complete stock in what that GP said) So, don't give up on HOPE :) We're going to pray this is just old blood.
I'm praying for you and lifting you up...
much love

I also suffered a missed miscarriage and there was only the faintest hint of red blood but I thought it was my imagination it was so light.

Amanda,
I am sorry you are going through this. I agree with the others , if you can try going to the ER 3 days is a long time to wait. Our minds can drive us crazy when we don't know. Sending you hugs and love and praying for you.

Amanda, I think all the ladies here know how you must feel and how scary it is.
I had two back to back miscarriages and my first one was around week 6, just like your first, complete miscarriage. I went to pee and I saw the blood and I just knew. Mine was bright red, and I bled heavier and heavier. It was during a labor day weekend and it started on Saturday, so I had to wait until Tues. to go to see my Dr. It was devastating waiting, and by the time I went to see the Dr. my pregnancy test came back negative, there was only trace that I was pregnant through blood work.
My second miscarriage was missed miscarriage, and just like Andrea, there was no blood. I only found out through Ultrasound when there was no heartbeat.
To give you a bit of hope, I am pregnant for the third time and I just passed my 1st trimester. And I bled a lot in the beginning, especially on my 5th week. Of course it was very scary every time, but for some reason, I calmed myself and didn't panic because the blood was brownish and it didn't get heavier. I called my OBGYN and told him I am keeping my 6th week scan and found out then I was okay, then again at 9 weeks and finally again today at 12 weeks.
So hang in there. I think it's good that it bled only slightly. I would get off your feet, if working, try to take sick days and rest. I think there is very little anyone can do at this early in pregnancy.
Try to relax and eat well.
Sending you good wishes...

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your replies. Well, no chance of getting a scan before thursday. Went to A/E but the brown bleeding had stopped, they said they could not get me in for a scan any sooner as they were fully booked up, so, still got to wait until thursday. On the plus side, as i said, for the time being the bleeding has stopped. I'm still having pregnancy symptoms, but, i dont want to build myself up for a fall. I guess i'm just gonna have to wait this out. Thursday cant come soon enough. I will let you know the outcome. Thanks again for all your kind wishes.x

Brown blood is better than red. I bled pink/red blood at 6 weeks, and again at 18 weeks, but carried my baby girl to term, so it is possible that there is nothing wrong.
Praying for you, and looking forward to hearing an update.

Well, not feeling good today, only one more day til i find out whats happening, but i've just began with this bleeding again. Its pinky red now, really worried. Was feeling positive about 2mora before this as the brown bleeding had stopped and i was hoping for some good luck, but now its began again, i'm preparing again for the worse.

I am sorry Amanda.
I am always such a list person and I always am thinking about what to do next. I have been in your shoes and here are some of my suggestions:
1) In future, find another OBGYN. When ever I started bleeding, they MADE time to see me right away regardless of how busy they are. I think you need to find a place that understands the emotional toll bleeding takes on the pregnant women and sees urgency. Go through your list of doctors in your coverage area and google with the best rating. My current DR's office came with the highest rating and I see why easily.
2) Hopefully, you will have a good news. If not, please go see RE right away. It takes time, usually about a month to see them and tests takes month or more and so does the result. I think in all, 3 months will be about the timeframe you will need to see all the results. This will give your body time to heal and also hopefully get some answers.
3) Understand there was nothing you did wrong and anyone could have helped. I don't know why we are dealt these cards. But know that if we survive somehow and keep trying, we do get to have happy ending. Bumpy, but we will get there.
Good Luck.

Amanda,
Are you in the UK? If so, I know that we have all said go to the ER (as the majority of us reside in the US), but things in different countries work very differently. Just know that you are doing all that you can for yourself and we are praying for you tomorrow. By my accounts it is about mid-night your time and I pray you are resting.
Know that you are in my thoughts...thinking of you tomorrow.
Much Love
