Am I Still Pregant?
Posted: 08-17-05 17:47pm

I am about eight weeks pregant I think. Last week I started bleeding it started light and got heavy then light again but I did noticed clots and had lots of back pain and cramps. So I went to the dr and took a pg test and it came to be weakly postive. The dr checked me and said my uterus was small and he wasnt sure if I was still pregant so he scheduled another appointment for two weeks and said we know by then if I had lost it. Is there anyway else to know before then I am really worried? Would a pg test show up negitive if I had lost the baby by now? Any advice?

No your pregnancy test would still show up positive because it is still reading the hormones that you had when you were pregnant.

I am so sorry but I really think you lost the baby.. I hope im wrong but it sounds like you miscarried.

Im sorry and good luck

I agree with fatfamily. Why on earth did he not do an ultra sound?? What a person.
It sounds like you miscarried and i'm truly sorry. I hope you didn't but it sounds like you did.

It does sound like a miscarriage .B.U.T. We could be wrong. Your doc is a bit of a health question for not doing a u/s I would go back to another doc or hosp right away. If you did miscarry and there is stuff still inside of you it needs to be removed sooner than 2 weeks by d&c so as to not cause infection.

Good luck

Thank you so much. It is really hard to deal with not just the fact that the baby may be gone but everyone in my family knows and all of our friends know it is just going to hurt worse when you have someone always asking hows the baby?! How do you deal with this?

It is hard to deal with but you will get through it. I had 2 miscarriages before finally having my son in june. You;ll probably hear this alot but everything happens for a reason and you will have your baby when the time is right. Do not blame yourself for anything either.

Please take care of yourself.

Heatherjw I also had a miscarriage the doctors called it a involentary abortion its were the baby is miscarried but the sac and everything is still left behind. The blood that you mentioned and clots and severe back bad are associated with having a miscarriage.

I'm sorry but I think you also may of haved one. The only think I can't understand is why they didn't do an u/s thats crazy. When I found out the was pregnant the first thing my doc did was unterurine u/s to detect the fetal hearbeat. They was none they send me immediately to the lab where they did another u/s with a bigger machine that can see a pin hole, unfortuatelt baby was not there. They sceduled me for a d and c. For the following day .That same night I started bleeding very bad and my husband rushed me to the er. I had the d and c and everything turned out for the best. Thinking back now I was not ready for another child-number 3. So things do happen for a reason. Don't dispair its very difficult to go through. But you will bounce right back. Unfortuately we woman need suffer and the wrost thing is to suffer over children. The ones we have already and the ones that are still waiting to be born. Please don't wait you need to see someone that can help you now not in two weeks. Good luck to you and imform us

Yes, please change doctors! It is absolutly rediculous that he did not do an ultrasound! It does sound like you miscarried, but only a doctor can tell you for sure. A friend of mine was spot bleeding at 14 weeks and they did every test on her you could imagine to make sure the baby was okay. Why would your doctor not do this for you??? What if you havent miscarried and you need to be put on strict bedrest? Man I am just so angry at your doctor right now!

So Sorry Heather
Posted: 09-19-05 18:05pm

I'm so sorry to hear the bad news. You will get through it though. I had a miscarriage before giving birth to my son in july. I believe that god has a plan for everyone!! Maybe your miscarriage was god's way of taking something that would have been less then perfect. This may sound crazy but I look forward to meeting the baby I lost in heaven someday. You will always think of the baby you lost...And it will always fill you with sadness...But you will be okay. Give yourself time to heal, then try again. I hope that someday you'll hold your baby in your arms!!! Good luck sweetie!!!

Hey dear,

dun feel broken down, miscarriages happen for a reason. I am sure god didn't want u to have a not properly formed baby but removed ur pain and will give u another healthy baby soon. It would help not telling everyone but close family members about ur prego the next time, till u cross the 1 trimester which is like crossing the danger zone.

Take care, coz u need to re-energize ur body in order to have another baby soon. Look forward to that and not sit back n worry about the loss.

Take care dear...

I am also sorry for your loss. So you sat and waited for the 2 weeks appt. And then he examined or did new ultrasound?? I still cant believe he dint do one in the beginning. That 2 weeks had to be hell. Just add insult to injury!!

Just keep trying and it will happen when the time is right. I had 3 miscarriages be4 my first son. But the odds of having more than 1 be4 a live birth is very slim. God bless you --hope this finds you hopeful --amidst your hurt and loss.

God bless you

Heather I am really sorry for you loss. I can say you should give yourself time to heal, physically and emotionally. I would also suggest you find another Dr. That can give you proper care and attention. I had the same thing happen to me last november, it was the saddest thing, but I am now so much better. Take care and good luck to you.
