Bleeding all of week 6, any chance?

[unwirklich]

So I started getting almost tiny strings of red blood at about 6 weeks, they continued off and on about 2 days, and then I started getting more like light flow, but it doesn't require a pad it's only there when I wipe and seems to be primarily in the morning and gone during the day. It's now been 6 days of this and this morning, there was enough when I peed first thing in the morning the water was pink and there was one tiny clot. I still have pregnancy symptoms and I have no cramping, but I have been having pain over my left ovary. I'm super worried. My medical insurance still hasn't come through and I can't afford to pay for an ultrasound out of pocket. I called them and got "emergency" status, but it still may be a week before I have coverage. I had a miscarriage in Nov, but it was missed. The baby measured 8 weeks at a 10 week scan and I'd have no bleeding and didn't for about a week, it went from nothing to full loss rather quickly so I don't really know what a regular miscarriage looks like. I've read there are lots of things it could be, but still so worried.

FX it's all ok with buba xxxx

I hope everything is okay...but you won't know for sure until you get an u/s. Lots of ladies have bleeding in the first tri.

Your boys are ADORABLE by the way :)

Hoping everything is ok, I too bled with this pregnancy but mine was heavier bleeding to a point where I thought I lost he baby and everything turned out ok. Hoping the same for you hon!

[SamS_TTCPink]

Fingers crossed everything is ok. With my loss, I had spotting for 2 days and then a very heavy flow and cramps. I bled with DS5&6 though and they're very happy, healthy, bouncy boys. 😊

[unwirklich]

It didn't stop today, steady light flow with a few clots, still isn't heavy and still no cramps, but this is torture. All I can do is wait. :(

[Wanting a daughter]

I bled heavy with both my boys in first trimester. I think the no cramps is a good sign. It doesn't usually end well if you are bleeding with cramping but without cramping your outlook is still good. FX

[SamS_TTCPink]

I know you said you can't get a scan yet but can you get a blood test to check HCG levels?

[Babybeaublue]

I had bleeding from week 6 right through to week 12 with dd2. No cramps and at one stage there was a clot but she is now 8 and absolutely fine. Is there no way you could even go to a&e and like mumofsix' says maybe they could do even a blood test? I had to at first though all they did was get me to do a preg test and feel my tummy, they refered me for a scan a few days later. Maybe your insurance would be through by then? X

[daisymoo]

I agree with the other girls Why don't you ring a&e and explain your situation I'm sure they see this kind of thing every day and they'll be able to tell you what's the best option for you. You can't sit at home worrying yourself I bet your baby is just fine. But just to put your mind at ease I would ring them. Hugs x

Thinking of you! I hope the bleeding stops and you figure out a way to check on baby to make sure all is okay.

Hugs,

If you have a Planned Parenthood near you they have cheap OB/GYN services. I hope all is okay!

[atomic sagebrush]

I don't have any answers, but FX and TX that all is ok. It's not unusual to have this happen and has happened to many of us who went onto have babies at the end of it

[unwirklich]

No, my midwife's office refuses to see me unless I have health coverage. She actually wouldn't even answer my questions, which really surprises me. She delivered all 3 of my sons. We'd kind of become friends I thought. She's basically ignored me. I tried facebook messaging her cause she's on my facebook and calling. Saw my messages, no reply. Didn't return my call. so even to get a blood test I'd have to go to the ER and it's about $600 just to walk through the door here. The bleeding seems lighter to me today, and still no cramping, still have all my symptoms and pregnancy test is still nice and dark. So I have no idea what's going on. This doesn't even line up with when my period would have been. It actually started the day I should have ovulated according to Fertility Friend. I'm gonna try to call my insurance again today, and if not I'll call our ER and see if they can do like a delayed billing. My midwife used to do it, she saw me over a month before my coverage was approved with my first kiddo, but then that was over 5 years ago, legality of things may have changed with Obama's shit.

[Babybeaublue]

That's awful how uncaring can someone ESPECIALLY a midwife be? I hope you get some help soon x

[flowerlily]

She SHOULDN'T really be a midwife with a heart and mind like that!! Especially when she knows the circumstances you are in!
Ugh, some people just do my head in!
If I WERE her I would have come to your house with my equipment and done it for you for free without any second thought!!

Ugh I can't believe you were just ignored!! I am so sorry. I think as long as you have symptoms you shouldn't worry too much yet. Maybe its a twin pregnancy and one didnt work out, too bad you can't get a scan. Stupid healthcare. My fingers are crossed for you.

[unwirklich]

Yeah, I even still got the hellaious rash I've been getting since week 5 last night so my hcg can't be that low, really hoping it's just a hematoma or something. I considered the twin thing too, I conceived with clomid so that seems a real possibility. I got a machine with my insurance so still waiting, waiting. Bleeding really does seem less heavy today though. It's back to being only when I wipe. Course, this is now day 7 and it was stopping completely for most of days in there before it got heavier. It's bizarre, it looks just like period blood, not like the miscarriage blood which is still pretty fresh in my head from Nov, that even had a different smell in my opinion.

[essnce629]

I hope everything is ok. My best friend had pretty heavy bleeding at week 8 and 12 and all was ok. Her DD is now 7!

[mt9178]

FX for you, try to rest and stay positive (hard to do I know)

[butterflywarbie]

i hope things will be ok hun, omg i didnt know things were like that without insurance,thank god wales got the nhs, ive got my fingers crossed xx

[daisymoo]

Wow what a horrible midwife. That's such a nasty way to treat someone who's pregnant especially when it's her job. What a cow! Hope you're feeling ok today and can get insurance sorted. Lots of hugs to you. Take care. x

I'd use another midwife if possible once your insurance comes through. I'd send her a message too. Ignorant and uncaring unless it's $$$ xx

I'd definately be looking elsewhere for prenatal care. That is unacceptable for her to just ignore you!

My sister had several non-explained bleeds during her pregnancy. She dealt with it better than I did (I've had numerous miscarriages, this was her first pregnancy). He is quite the active 3 year old now.

I hope that baby is still tucked up in there, safe and sound, oblivious to all the worry and commotion s/he is causing mommy. Strong pregnancy tests and symptoms are very positive signs (not to mention lack of cramping!).

Fingers crossed for you.

This really is crazy that she won't return your calls. You have established a patient relationship with this provider and if anything were to happen you could sue the piss out of the practice for not returning your phone calls. Especially since you have bleeding. Do you have any money that you could pay upfront? Often times the price will be different if you offer cash up front. I would go to a planned parenthood or something similar. There are also usually free/low cost clinics associated with University Hospitals or a county hospital that you could go to. I am not sure how Obama care has changed some of these low cost options but there should be something in your area if you dig around a bit. The thing I would be most worrisome is an ectopic pregnancy. Hope you are able to get into see someone soon!!

[kellbell827]

I bled with my DS1 and this lil guy who is still cooking but all is completely fine w/ both. Both were because of SCH's. I hope you get some answers soon and I agree w/ the other girls...I would definitely be finding different prenatal care!! That is unacceptable to just ignore you - SO heartless!!

[unwirklich]

Yeah, I'd already decided to switch providers. I was already thinking about it, because with my miscarriage in Nov she didn't follow up at all, no scan to ensure I lost everything, nothing.

The lady at my insurance said she'd process it first thing this morning. they opened 29 minutes ago, so waiting patiently for that call. It looks like I'll be able to see a doc today. Still period like bleeding, no cramps. I'd think it would have started by now if it was a miscarriage..

[Rosie85]

Glad you will be able to go into today. Fx for you!

[daisymoo]

Best of luck today x

Noon and still no call :hair: how long does it take to add pregnancy coverage to a case? It's active, open and approved for my kids, all she has to do is add me, half way through the day and she still hasn't gotten to it. First thing in the morning my $*#

[daisymoo]

How frustrating!!! Hope they get a move on soon!

Well things don't look good. I was about to leave for the ER, and passed a probably silver dollar sized pace of tissue, followed by another about quarter sized one a few minutes later. Definitely not blood clots, white tissue, but what's weird is I've still had very little bleeding and no cramps. With my loss in Nov. I bled for hours, so much I almost passed out. There were like fist sized clots. I haven't had anything bigger than my pinky nail so far aside from these tissue chunks. Could this be an undeveloped twin maybe? Tissue was also way smaller than the placenta/sac from last time and my loss was only 1 week later last time. :(

I've decided to hold off on the ER visit. If I'm gonna miscarry I'd rather do it in the comfort of my home, but if the bleeding stays minimal I'm definitely going in.

[Mrs_Incredible]

How are things? Xxx

Well, the bleeding still hasn't picked up, it's getting all thick and CM-ey? I think my cervix is attempting to re-seal..so I'm actually semi optimistic. It's possible what I lost was a baby that stoped growing weeks ago..being I'm 7 weeks and there would be very little tissue, but then I had less bleeding than I normally have on my period even...so I don't think it possible it was a full loss.

The tissue looked like chicken skin, and I looked that up, seems most people describe dicidua tissue from the uterine lining that way.

[daisymoo]

I think I'd go in and have everything checked out Just to make sure your baby is safe. Is your insurance sorted now? Can you take a trip in there now?

:( I'm sorry, I agree that's not a good sign at all.
