Can anyone help me im 5 and half weeks pregnant and on wednesday I started spotting didnt think anything of it as it is common. Then later on in the evening I started bleeding not heavy its just like a light period and passing some small clots but no pain what so ever. Went to see my gp today coz I thought I may have miscarried she told me I may not have done and the pregnancy may still be viable I still have symptoms of being pregnant ie tender breasts, feeling tired. Ive now gotta wait till wednesday for an scan and it seems like ages away I just want to know now whats happened to my baby :(

Did your doc not schedule you for a scan? You should have a scan done asap. Any sort of bleeding with clots should be taken seriously while preggo. Good luck.

i'm sorry but it is not a good sign when you start to bleed heavily that mimics a regualr period including clots. We cannot possibly tell you what happened to your baby seeing that your Dr. Couldnt not provide you with a definate answers as well. You will have to hang in there until your Dr. Gives you more info on how to proceed. Good luck

hey hun! Its okay, try not to worry tho I know its really hard, I also had spotting and bleeding early on in my pregnancy ( im 38 weeks now ) and it turned out to be just a normal. If its a miscarriage u usually have really bad cramps n such to go with it. Im sure everything is fine hun just let me know wat happens at ur scan! Good luck!

pregnancy hormones can stay in your body for a long time after a miscarriage. They don't disappear immediately after the bleeding does. Perhaps you had a false positive before?

Keep your doctor's appointment.

Good luck.

Like ingi said, the hormone can stay in your body for quite a long time, so I would try another one as you could have gotten a false negative. Those are more common than a false positive. Good luck

I got a negative about.. Mm.. A little less than 2 weeks after my miscarriage. I was only 5wks when .I miscarried, so maybe it has something to do with how far along you are when you miscarry. I only bled for a week, &it was like a medium-heavy period with lots of clots. I didn't have any pain until .I was almost done bleeding, &even then, it wasn't a lot of pain.

Try your best to think positive(that you are pregnant). I bled for the 1st three months of both of my childrens pregnancies(now adults) you probably will not know much until your scan for sure. Let us know whay you find out. I think that you are still pregnant although I am not a Dr., just a positive thinker!
All the best!
