Miscarriage Or Not?
Posted: 02-04-05 19:55pm

Hi,

i am very confused at the moment. I had a couple of slight accidents with my partner but nothing so bad for me to seek emergency contraception. I am also very confused with my dates to add insult to injury...

I was either 9 days late or pretty much on time, bleeding, this cycle. However the period has been very strange. It started for 3 days with very light bleeding (only when going to the toilet) and I am normally very heavy. On the fourth day it became slightly more heavy but excruciating pain...Like intense period pain (i have suffered bad pains but was nothing compared to this - it was agony and like I was trying to push something out of my body). Then on day 5 (when usually it would be getting lighter) I had a really heavy bleed. I was passing much blood and clots. Today (day 6) I woke up with a large amount of brown discharge. The bleeding is somewhat lighter and symptoms subsiding (day 4 I started with pains in my breast glands and aching, sore stomach).

I have felt very strange the week prior to this...Bad backache (v unusual for me), sore boobs (again unusual), strange feeling in stomach and just a general feeling I was pregnant although this would have been early (2 weeks ish)...I feel rather silly about all this but I can't shake the feeling I was pregnant and have lost it...Was this possible?

I did 3 tests and all were negative but according to the nurse these could be false negatives because it is very early so this doesn't rule anything out. I now feel I may never know as when I can take a test nect week and know for sure its accurate it will be too late as the chances are I have lost it now.

Feel like I need to know...Feels like I am grieving but don't know if I should be. Has anyone got any comments/advice for me? Please..Anything would be useful..This is really doing my head in now! Feels like I need to know as well to check internally I am ok after this possible trauma. I am physically exhausted, as well as mentally. Help.

Thanks for listening,

cat:-)

You could go get a blood test. It sounds like you had a miscarriage. There may still be some hcg in your blood. That will let you know for sure if you were preg or not.
