This has been one of the most difficult , painful, and confusing two weeks of my life. After successfully carrying and giving birth to 3 children, I have been experiencing a miscarraige, which to my shock is not a one day or even one week situation.
At six weeks i noticed light spotting, mostly brown. The doc did an exam and determined 'implantation bleeding'. Though this was somewhat of a relief, the cramping continued as did the spotting for 6 days. Then after that, light bleeding, which turned to what seemed like a moderate period.
A trip to the ER gave the diagnosis of 'possible miscarraige' and blood hormone levels suggested it
Two days later, back at my OB, an exam, blood test, and ultrasound sent mixed signals. On the one hand, at 7 weeks they are not able to see much so there was no visable heartbeat or baby and on the other, my blood had a significant amount of pregnancy hormone that wasnt dropping appropriately.....
I have a scan scheduled for tomorrow in the early am and today am in what may be the worst pain i have ever felt (aside from active labor)
is it completely irrational to hope that by some miracle the baby could still be viable? how much blood is too much because i dont even fill a pad in an hour and total bleeding days is 14. :(
this was my first post as a guest and i would really appreciate any feedback. i just dont understand why my hormone levels would continue to elevate but i would shed so much blood/???
confused as ever :(
Hoping all goes well.
Go with your gut, better safe than sorry :)
I'm like you, if it wasn't meant to be then it wasn't meant to be (doesnt mean it hurts less thou).
Thank God you already have 3 :) My question is were they considered ectopic? If so, you are lucky to be alive. I had an ectopic 3 years ago & it felt like I was carrying a load of gravel in my abdomen. Started fainting a couple times. Hubby took me to the Dr. They did an ultrasound to see if it was in the tube. Lost my baby at my first prenatal appt 6wks6days. Have 4 other beautiful, healthy kids so I can't complain. God is good even when life on earth is rough.
