Pregnancy Info HOME

Okay so as I have said before I have been bleeding since 08/17...It started off as just spotting and not it is like a normal flow period. Earlier today I passed a clot about the size of a dime so I called my dr's office and they said that more than likely I was miscarrying. They said to go to the ER if I experienced uncontrollable bleeding, the passing of more clots that size or become very dizzy. I have not had ANY pain/cramping so did not think I was miscarrying, but they said not all women have pain when they miscarry. Any advice?? I have an u/s sched for 08/31 that was already sched since they have not been able to find anything yet.

Hi AWilliams86. I am hoping and praying that things turn out well for you. All I can say is that both times I have miscarried I only had pain for one day or two at the most out of the whole time I was bleeding and I know the clots and pain really depend on how far along the pregnancy is..if you are even miscarrying, so I hope that this is not the case with you. Keep us updated.

I am really worried because I have been passing clots since thurs 08/27, but have not had any pain. My OB just kept telling me not to go to the hosp because all they will do is refer me back to him anyways so just wait for my u/s appt today 08/31. I had my u/s today, but no appt sched after since he was not in the office so have to wait for him to call with the results. It was a transvaginal u/s and after she pulled it out I started gushing blood like crazy. It was all on the bed and floor. The u/s tech left the room immediately for me to get dressed so she did not see what I was going through. After I cleaned myself up and put on the pad she gave me I felt a really warm gush so I pulled down my pants to see if it came out of the pad and there was a huge clot, it was a little smaller than an egg, but was flat. I opened the door and told her what had happened and she came in to look and just told me to clean up and come out when I am done. I started balling cause that was by far the biggest clot I have passed. None of the clots have been flesh color just red like blood. She just told me that she could not tell me anything without the dr there so he will call me with the results. I am so scared cause I am not sure what the heck is going on. Because the dr was not in I did not even get sent to get my HCG levels checked. So last time they were done was on thurs 08/27 and they were 2685. My HCG levels have not doubled since I found out I was pregnant on 08/03. PLEASE ANY ADVICE WILL BE APPRECIATED!!!

i'm really sorry your going thru this hun, honestly it doesn't sound good, nor does the way you were treated today, a good practice would have looked into it straight away for you. How are you feeling now, has the bleeding stopped? I would go to your local hospy or at least ring them and ask their advice, try your ob's rooms maybe see if he's back or if someone there could help or give some advice....
i definately would do something, you are obviously going out of your mind doing nothing, and you will just stress yourself... try to relax as much as you can and call someone to ask advice, hospy or ob or someone, or just go to hospy.
Did you see anything on the screen when you had the u/s, did they get a heart reading?
good luck please let us know how you go.

Hi everyone
I have been away from the forum after my miscarriage.
Awilliams86 all I can say is that i wish you all the best and even if it seems so frustrating at times don't loose hope I've been there but remember that...

So bad news for me...went to the hosp at 130am with extremely heavy bleeding and huge clots. I was sent directly over to my ob's office to go over everything that was happening. I am now sched for a D&C on 09/04/09 and am extremely sad. Good luck to all of you that are having the same problems or any problems for that matter.

AWillams86,
I am so sorry for your lost. My prayers are with you and your family. I have a update for my situation. I went to the doctor today. I am so happy to say that I have found a doctor to actually listen to me. I had blood drawn today and I have an ultrasound scheduled for the 15th of this month. I listen for the baby's heartbeat everyday since I purhcased my own doppler and I have been getting a heartbeat. The heartrate today was 142. I have gotten one upto 166. I am so glad that I am making some progress in getting an definite answer regarding my pregnancy. I just hope and pray that all is well since I have probably went about 3-4 months without any prenatal care. I will give a update as soon as one is available. Thanks for all of your support ladies. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless each and everyone of you.

Hello all, I found out I am almost 6 wks LPM and my HCG was at 398 on Tuesday and I am terrified about losing this baby. I spotted a little bit last week but nothing since then no cramping or pains. I do have a bladder infection that I am treating but no other symptoms. I had more blood drawn yesterday and I am impatiently waiting for the results. Haven't really had a lot of pregnancy symptoms but I can't really go on that because my son who is almost 8 was a smooth pregnancy. No morning sickness or anything else.

I just wanted to add to this thread. I found out I was pregnant about a week ago and my hcg level was only 81. I was not quite four weeks. I went bacj three days later to get re tested and my levels had gone up to 255. My doctor wasn't worried even with the first level of 81 but I had a miscarriage a few months ago and wanted to get some peace of mind so I asked for the second test. I was really worried that it was going to be bad but so far all is good. Low levels at the beginning aren't necessarily bad. I hope this helps any of you who are also worried about the same thing.

I really haven't posted since I lost my last pregnancy in late June. My husband and I just went through another round of in-vitro in late Oct and found out we are pregnant again. My HCG was 54.6 on Nov 11th and they re-tested my levels on Nov 13th and they were 105. The nurse congratulated me and said they want to see me this Friday 11/20/09. I am a nervous wreck because I am not really having many pregnancy symptoms I was having last week. Is this normal??? Please HELP!!!!!
