Uh oh guys, I think I'm in a similar boat.
This pregnancy thing used to be easier, I swear, lol.
Okay, so my symptoms are sounding maybe like yours, meeks? I was reassured by two cheapie BFP's this morning that were a touch darker then yesterday. Then this afternoon I see some pink when I wipe, uh oh.
Definitely not full flow of AF, no cramping. I did check my cervix really quick as I was freaking out (even though I know I probably really shouldn't) and cervix is soft, high, closed.
But the spotting is red and seems to come and go. So a spot on my liner, then fades over an hour to just a touch of pink when I wipe, then another splotch. So now I'm so scared that I'm losing the bean. I did have intermittent spotting with DS3 too but it's been so long I don't remember how much/what colour, etc.
I'll be calling my dr tomorrow and trying to get in, but I would assume that a m/c would be accompanied by some pretty obvious cramps?
-
Me too in that boat. Spotting heavier, slight cramps :( Considered going to the ER but not really sure if that makes any sense.
Hope you can get in tomorrow. ((hugs)) Its so hard! Very hard to stay distracted and doing other things when you just don't know what is going on. :(
And yes...when the m/c starts its very crampy. Mine usually start out brown then red very soon after. The spotting business is "supposedly" normal but it never is for me.
-
Yah makes sense Harley. I dunno, I'll call my GP tomorrow but I definitely won't go to the ER without serious symptoms. Our hospitals are overcrowded and I know that all they'll tell you is to go home and let it pass anyways. :(
I'm so depressed. :( I don't even want to call my GP because they don't have lab or ultrasounds or ANYTHING on site, so all they'd do is give me a pile of lab referrals and I'd have to go somewhere else again. Ugh.
If it turns out badly I think I'll just let it pass naturally, and not bother going in unless my hpt's didn't go totally blank. This really sucks.
Hubby doesn't even seem that perturbed, the ass. He keeps tsking at me for running to the bathroom every 10 min to check. Just says "Oh well, we'll just try again." I kinda want to kill him right now. :(

Why don't you go to the doctor and get some blood tests to go by, before this does your head in!!! It is the only way to settle your fears! Spotting/bleeding can be completely normal in early pregnancy!! I have spotted/bleed bright red and clots with all of my pregnancy's in early pregnancy! It sure does your head in though! I personally wouldn't bother going to the er, they will only do the bloods the GP would and as your so early I doubt anything would be done if it turns out bad anyway! I have had a few early m/c and they just did bloods and waited! If you get bloods and it is a m/c your dr will be able to watch and make sure your hormones are doing the right thing, if everything is fine he will watch and make sure everything rises nicely it would be good to do either way! I hope this little bean sticks for you!!!!!

I agree rainbow baby...but its sunday so its just a matter of waiting it out till Tuesday for me to get blood re-drawn. I"m just disappointed. Its been a long road that never goes anywhere.
Lace..my DH the same way..must be a man thing. He keeps telling me to go lay down but I think not because he's worried but to get rid of me for a few minutes;)
-
LOL Harley!
Dammit I'm still lightly bleeding red. This SUCKS so hard. If it ramps up to full AF then I guess I'm done. This is my first loss like this and it really really hurts even though I know it's very common.
I probably won't even bother going into the doc unless they ask me if I start getting BFN's. There's nothing to be done anyways, and at least I know I'm still fertile and that my LP is ok since I didn't start this spotting until today at 18dpo.
I want to have a big ol' cry and get stinking drunk.
-
Oh no, bright red? :( I hope it slows down.
I think after the pity party, you will find its easier than you think to re-group. Idk..some losses I take harder than others and it doesn't always have to do with how far along the pg is. SOmetimes its easiest just to get right back on the horse right away, but sometimes you need a longer break before trying again.
Hopefully it won't come to that. Let us know how you are doing tomorrow. xx

Well I got a BFN on my preg test today so I guess it was af/chemical. Temps still up slightly but someone told me that can happen when you miscarry so I guess that's what it was. This is my third chemical and I agree, some you take better than others. This time was hard for me because I didn't know what was happening for so long. Now I know I actually feel ok.
Off to see doc Tuesday anyway and see if there is something that can be done about my short LP.
-
How are you all tracking?
-
I agree meeks...once you KNOW it is failing, your mind can move forward incredibly well, maybe because you half expected it. But it still hurts and moving forward can be bittersweet...because my DS#2 is straight away after a loss and how wonderful it is that I have him. But I always find it incredibly hard to put away 'what could have been' because I get very attached right away. I"m never able to stay detached once I get that BFP. I start dreaming of baby feet right away. So I am always gutted but obviously able to keep picking myself up and keep trying.
Was this your 3rd chemical in a row? I hope there is something they can do for a short LP...I am sure there is. They may add progesterone? ARe you a Vitex person?
I"m just still in limbo. I'm ok because I am a very optimistic person...I always see hope no matter what. I'm just dreading the big referral to the reproductive endocrinologist because this is not ME to keep losing babies...I am Fertile Myrtle and somebody has taken my title away!!
