Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Reno; Just finished reading through your posts and I was so happy to read that everything is okay. I posted on this site back in January but didn't have such good luck. I miscarried in Feb. But my symptoms were a lot worse / different than yours. I bled, non-stop for 10 days, albeit only a tiny bit, but it never went away. That apparantely is a big indicator. It is okay to spot but it shouldn't go on and on. As well, if you weren't feeling much tenderness to begin with then it's perfectly normal. I felt amazing tenderness at the beginning, and then all of a sudden mine started to fade away quickly when I started spotting. As for feeling cold, that is because it is normal for temperatures to go above 99 when you are pregnant. I don't chart but I had a look at some charts on fertility friend and a lot of women go above 99, no wonder they feel cold (or hot). I felt frozen all the time when I was pregnant. I just wanted to crawl into the bathtub. Perfectly normal. Just your hormones affecting your temperature. When I was pregnant with DS I spotted but it was only occa__sionally and this is normal. I was so freaked I had an early ultrasound and we saw the hb. So rea__suring! I am hoping to be pregnant again. My bb's feel quite tender so I have my fingers crossed and will be testing in a few more days. Good luck, I hope all is well with you and baby!

hi everyone, just wanted to give you n update I posted on 25th Feb after hearing the heart beat on 2 ultrasounds, sadly my spotting continued for a week brown discharge but the underlying feeling was I just didnt feel pregnant anymore, my symptons had disappeaed overnight and I had more energy the next morning, I had a ultrasound done yesterday the baby was only measuring 8 weeks and sadly its little heart had stopped beating am devastated this is two litle angels I have lost now in exactly the same way. my first one was also due today... the doctor was trying to show sympathy but basicaly told me those horrible words "its natures way"... not what I wanted to hear and I had to have 3 miscarraiges before they will do anything, I have a few days to think about what I want to do but I have decided that I want to have D and C, i feel like I need to have a good clean out and I took tablets before and lost the baby down the toilet, this time i can have a test on it. I am also having some v____al swabs done to test for infection. i feel like I am never going to be a mother and that there is something wrong with me and my partner together, for all those ladies out there who are worried, trust your instincts, your body will tell you when something is not right, mine did both times, any words of encouragment would be music to my ears at the moment, good luck to you all and your little ones inside you.

Sammie - I am so sorry for your loss. I also lost two babies, and had to have surgery to remove my left fallopian tube. I felt the same way you do right now - frustrated, alone, depressed, angry, etc. etc. It's okay to feel this way - allow yourself to grieve. Just know that it is not your fault - it really is nature's way. If it's any consolation to you, after I gave up trying because it just wasn't working, I immediately got pregnant and so far am doing well. Don't give up yet - go easy on yourself and allow your feelings to happen. You are definitely not alone - hang in there!! I will pray for you...

Hi ladies; I am very sorry to hear about your losses but wanted to say don't give up. I too had multiple miscarriages and have gone on to have two beautiful, healthy children. Miscarriage is so common and the majority are chromosone related not that that makes you feel any better when it happens to you. I had a miscarriage last month, but I am not giving up. Most of the time miscarriages are just plain "bad luck". Don't give up.

thank you to erica and Karen E for your kind words and encouragement have had tears andnow just hoping for the best, good luck to you too, keep each other posted

Hi. I am very relieved to read what you guys have been saying. I am 11.5 weeks pregnant and freaking out because my b___sts have been so sore that I can't bear it, and then absolutely fine. It seems to be going in cycles, and mostly I have about 2 days when my symptoms disappear, and 5 or more when they are there. I also have abdominal cramping so have been really worried. But I went to the ER when I was 6 weeks and they did an ultrasound which showed the heartbeat and also a cyst on my ovary -- cause of abdominal pain. So I just keep thinking of that and it helps me feel better. I'd recommend it to any one who's worried. Seeing it on the screen really helps. Of course that was 5 weeks ago, and anything could have happened since then! I think that worrying probably doesn't help, so I'm trying not to. What will be will be. Just keeping sending positive vibes to your uterus -- worth a try isn't it?

for karen E; are you pregnant again, am keeping my fingers crossed for you.. i am going to give it a rest for a few months, dont think I cancope with it at the moment. will let you know the results of the fetal tests after D and C, Good luck

HI Sammie; If you feel you need some time to recuperate then that is what you should do. I think you were further along than me as well. I was only about 6 1/2 weeks. Not that it is easy at any point but I would think the further along the more difficult it is, especially given that it was your second miscarriage in a row. As I said, I have had 3 or 4 miscarriages. I say 3 or 4 because one was so early it could have almost been a late period and I only knew I was pregnant because I took an POAS. I read your posts again today and I see that you are only 35. I know that probably doesn't seem all that young to you, but I am 43 so I really can't afford to wait at all to try and become pregnant again. I am newly married and we actually weren't planning any kids of our own because of our ages, but got pregnant by accident in January. I lost it in February. Once we got used to the idea we were very excited about having one of our own to make our bond even stronger. I am not sure if I am pregnant or not this month. My AF is due on Tuesday or Wednesday this week so I will probably test on Sunday or Monday. Last month I was so sure I was pregnant so I don't want to hope too much this month. My bb's don't seem overly tender but I am very tired and I am very congested so who knows. Just curious, do you have any other kids? It is so disappointing I feel for you Sammie. I have 2 great kids and I do feel a bit greedy wanting another but I just can't help it. Take some time for yourself and when you're ready I hope it happens soon for you and the next one sticks for good. Good luck Sammie and keep me posted okay?

hey yall. i am three weeks pregnant and my b___sts hurt for about a week and now they dont hurt that bad is there something wrong? also i was told by one doctor that i was 3-4 weeks and i was told by the ER doctor that i am only 2-3 weeks pregnant. they said my ultra sound looked fine and my hormone level is about 2-3 weeks but the first day of my last period was feb 17 so that would make me 5 weeks right?

For karen E; thanks for your support, havent got any children yet, am praying I will have one soon,getting pregnant is not a problem happens quickly just growing them I cant seem to do, I have just completed the miscarraige process, I ended up in hospital after loosing too much blood but the positive news to come out of it was i saw a consultant who runs the miscarraige centre who is refering me for tests on my blood (clotting disorders) immediately, within next 7 weeks. My aunty had a baby at 45 with absolutley no complications by the way as long as you feel good in yourself I think we can keep having babies until our eggs stop now cant we, I will keep you posted and let me know of any news you get, lots of luck to all of us..

Hi everybody, I'm so glad I found this forum! It's very hard to not get paranoid when pregnancy symptoms seem to come and go. I am almost 7 weeks and this morning my b___sts definitley did not feel as sore as they have been since I found out I was pregnant a day after my period was late. Other research on the web says this is normal. I had a huge scare on Monday--spotting which turned into heavy bleeding, I thought I was m/c and went to get an ultrasound. They found a heartbeat which calmed me down, but said there was a subchorionic hemmorage which was causing the bleeding. The bleeding is getting lighter, my doctor said these usually resolve on their own but ofcourse it's a complication that puts me at a higher risk for m/c. So now every little thing I'm so sensitive too, like the soreness from the b___sts subsiding! I just hope this baby makes it. Praying definitley helps! Is there anyone else on this forum that has or has had a subchorionic hemmorage (or basically a bloodclot) and had a normal pregnancy?

yea it does you sound normal :D in the beginning of pregnancy I worried about everything but as you get to the 2nd trimester everything calms down so enjoy it while it lasts cus in the third trimester all the discomforts and horemones go out of control again!

Lisamarie - I too had spotting (red blood) right after I found out I was pregnant - at about 6 weeks. I thought I was losing the baby, but it subsided, I spotted for about a week, and then it stopped. I am now 4 1/2 months and everything is good. It can happen - just hang in there. Let us know how it goes!!

I got my period five days late and it only lasted three days plus I only used pantyliners. The flow was so light, started brown, then red, then pink. I was having VERY sore b___sts for two whole weeks before the bleeding and now,a week after the bleeding started, my b___sts are extremely swollen but not as tender on the nipple area anymore plus I can't zip my pants with ease for the past week. I took a pregnancy test a few hours before the bleeding started and it was negative. I have a history of ovulating later than expected, cycle day 20 or 21. I bled early when I got pregnant with my daughter, thought it was my period and kept taking the pill until I came down with the "flu" and went to urgent care where it was realized that the flu symptoms were just early pregnancy symptoms and the ultrasound a few days later showed an 8 week normal fetus which dated conception a week after when ovulation would have been. I was worried about the three weeks of birth control pills I took during the whole pregnancy, but she was born healthy. I have had a total of three pregnancies occur a week after supposed ovulation and I am starting to think that I have done it again. I am getting a test tonight, so I'll know tomorrow if I am or not.

I noticed the same thing, not that they completely feel unsore, just that it has lessened (I'm 7 weeks today). I have had two prior m/c and with both of them my b___sts were sore until the bitter end, so I don't think it really matters that much. Of course, though, I am a little worried about the wavering soreness...seems like at night it is worse, and the more rest I get the less sore they feel. Anybody notice the same thing?

I've just come across this forum and whilst my question is not directly related to the original question I wonder if there is anybody with a similar experience to my self? I had a +ve preg test 2 weeks ago (5 days after expected start of period)and have had tender b___sts and severe cramps at time of missed period and ever since, however the cramps started to settle after apporx 7 days. I began bleeding last week - light with moderate cramping. On having my ultrasound scan on the Thursday i was found to be 5 weeks and 6days. The +ves were that there was a yolk sac and that my cervix was closed however the clinician felt that she could see signs of where the bleeding is likely to be coming from and unfortunately she felt that it was an indication of the lining detaching and that a miscarriage was highly likely( is this the same as subchronic bleeding?). The cramps continued over thurs evening, however Fri there was less cramping and still some dark brown blood still only spotting. On Sat I decided to wear a Tampon to seemore accurately how much blood I was losing. It was a strange colour and consistency -almost black and thicker in consistency almost mud-like, and whilst slightly heavier not majorly so, no cramping. On sunday I found spotting of dark brown blood, but this lessened as the day progressed last night there was nothing to see. this morning there is a bearly perceptible amount -still no significant cramping. I still have b___st pain some mild nausea and mild headaches. I'm trying desperately not to get my hopes up, and in doing so find myself in cruel limbo-land. I am at the stage where I just want confimation one way or another. It seems like an eternity until Thursday when I'm due a follow up scan. I was wondering if my continued b___st tenderness, frequent urination and mild nausea and unusual craving for carbohydrate are typical signs when someone is miscarrying? any advice or information will be greatfully received, thanks
