Pregnancy Info HOME

ann. i would go ahead and take a test. if it comes out neg. then wate about 2-3 weeks and take another. i am a mont and two days late. i am also afrade to take a test cause of the results. i have had a test come out neg. with my first child and then i went back up to the hospital (cause it is free) about a week after and it came out positive. it all depends on if your count is high enough to get the right resolts. that is why i at least wate a month and two week.well e-mail me back.

tara. what kind of doctor do you have. i would of said if there is something wrong then don't let me suffer. let me move on with my life and not worry about the child that is in me on if it has pa__sed on or not. so sorry that you or anybody else has to go with life like that. cause that is just messed up.

ann.i ment to tell you that i am not having any spoting or anything. i am just having the brown stuff come out every once and a while. i have noticed that i have been very moody here latly. i did a little house work and i felt like i had a lot of energy but it went fast when i was taking care of therr little ones. i had my son, and my sisters boys witch is 16 months and a almost 3 year old. my son is 15 months. also taking care of my big baby my husband. i wish the best for everybody.

serena--ok it has been 1 week and i day of spotting)just a bit on a pantyliner) but mostly only when i wipe. i dont think it is implantation bleeding --(would it last this long). i read taras post that the doctor said she was to active and the babycouldnt implant itself..i did notice that when i am moving around alot here and there i spot more...who knews...i dont want a bfn so i am scared to test but then again i am using allergy medication . so i would like to knew i guess....goodluck-keep me posted !

This is the Forum where I began. TO: All of the wonderful strong women on this site.....I found you about a week ago when I 1st began spotting. You have been the most encouraging and comforting people I've known through all of this. Thanks for your support and suggestions. I feel as if we are living through each other sometimes. I just wanted all of you to know how much I appreciated your stories and kind words. UPDATE: As many of you know, I began brown spotting on Fri. (5/28). Saw Dr. and had u/s Tues. (5/31). Baby measured 5wks 6d, saw my baby's beating heart, EHR low, 91 - 95, HCG 8,962. Began bleeding heavily, like period, yesterday (6/2). Today, I should be 6wks 1day, but after u/s tonight (while vacationing out of the country) I found out that I my baby's heart had stopped beating probably yesterday, exactly 6wks. I am pa__sing dark RED blood (with lots of clots), but I am not cramping, and I have not lost the baby inside me. I do not feel sick or anything. I see my doctor again on Wed. (6/8), and I do not know what to do. Should I get a D&C? I do not want to continue to bleed for weeks. I have such high anxiety each time I go to the restroom not knowing what I might see, but I have been told that with this early of a m/c that it is probably better to m/c naturally. What should I do? I am so sad, all I think about is this baby. This was my first preg. after trying for 2 years. I have been working with children for 13 years, since 15yrs old, and now as a 6th grade teacher, I thought finally it was my time. I would have one of my own. I love my baby so much and I always will, but I think I knew something was not right from the beginning of this pregnancy. I guess a mother knows. Now I am not sure if I can continue to carry it mentally, or if I am prepared to let it go medically. Which is BEST? or does anyone really know? What about for future pregnancies? God be with all of you! Healthy Baby Fairy Dust to us all!

The post above may have questions that do not apply to this forum. Please do not think you have to reply. I hope my story does not upset anyone, that is not my intention. I just wanted all of you to know that you must go see your doctor with the first sign of complications. It is important. But please do not take my story as the only outcome. So many women on this site have had brown spotting, mild to moderate bleeding, and even continuous periods with their pregnancies and went on to have healthy happy babies (believe me, I have been to almost every forum on this site). I only posted my story for information purposes. I know that when this began with me that I wanted all of the info. I could find. Good luck to all of you and your little ones inside. God bless you! I hope that Angels are wrapped all around your soon to be big bellies:) Healthy Baby Fairy Dust to all!!!

amanda- i would do what you think is best for you and your baby. i have never had a messcarage but i did have some complications with my son who is 15 months. i wish the best for you.

ann-quite taking the alergie med. unless perscribed by doctor or doctor said that it is okay. you could be to active, so try to sit more about 10-15 min. then do something light then rest more. do you work? i am a stay at home mom of corce i don't ever sit but maybe 5 min. i am not having any spoting. when i called my obgyn(nurce a__sestance) and she said that the brown is just late spoting well today is the 3rd day and still no period. i am still spoting here and there and it has been a month and 4 days late on my period. on the 15th i will be 2 months late. i went 6 month before and i wasen't pregnate. they said that my hormonse was nessed up still from my son when i had and pregnate with him.

thanks serena---today i went to the pharmacy to buy a hpt but the line was so long-i just left---maybe that was a sign because i fould some pinkish red on my panytliner---didnt soak through...then the rest of the day just brown wipes...this is now day 10 of brown wipes--pinkish ...i dont knew...i dont think it is IB . i feel so sad.....i dont work and that is not a great thing because i just sit there and cry because i feel that it wil never happen for me. good luck

ann-usualy the pinkish stuff is the inplantion of the cervics. so don't be sad cause it can still be. pluse what ever you feel is what the baby feels. i learned that real quick with my son. everytime i felt sad i would get sick at my stomic and he would kick me so hard on my ribs. when i calmed down he would stop kicking and start tapping me. so don't give your hopes up i'm not.

sorry to but in,but i have a suspected ectopic,my hcg levels have more than doubled in the past 2 days,and my belly still feels crampy,the pain started of on the right side but now it feels like af type pains...help i need some rea__surance,havent eaten for two days....sooooo worried,this is my fifth baby!!x

gillian- you don't need to starve yourself like that. you need to eat something. if your hcg has doubled then get it checked out. i don't think anything is wrong but it dosen't hurt to get checked. your stomic is probly hurting cause you haven't eatten. try to eat then take a bat(not shower) and see if that helps.

Amanda -- I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My own scare last week gave me glimpse of just how tough that would be to go through, and you are in my thoughts. As hard as it is to see right now, if you're like most of the healthy, strong women I know who have gone through this (and I'm sure you are!), this will no doubt turn out to be only a small detour on your path to motherhood... I haven't posted on here since 5/30, so I thought I would update you all on my situation. To give a quick recap, I lightly spotted brown blood between 5/28-5/29 and had mild cramping. I went to the ER at the first appearance of the blood on 5/28, and they performed an ultrasound and tested the HCG levels in my blood. Both tests came back normal (ultrasound showed a live baby measuring 6 weeks 4 days with a heart rate of 120 bpm, and HCG came back at 38,500), so I was sent home and told not to worry, since spotting is "not uncommon" in early pregnancy. I went home, and both the spotting and cramping subsided within about a day. I also had a rea__suring doctors appointment this Friday, where another ultrasound showed the baby to be developing normally (it's little heart now thumping away at 150 bpm!), so now, as I approach 8 weeks, I am beginning to feel better about things. Perhaps in my case (and I'm "knocking on wood" and "crossing my fingers" as I write this), the brown spotting really was an isolated incident, and NOT necessarily a sign of something being wrong. If this is the case for me, then it must also be the case for many of you, so TRY not to let the brown spotting worry you, as scary as it is, especially if other tests come back normal (I know, easier said than done, right?) My story is far from over, however, so I will continue to post updates. Good luck to you all!

Amanda, I'm sorry to hear about what has happened. The same thing happened to me with my first pregancy. I don't have any children either. I know what you are going through. I also went on vacation and after I found out the baby had no heart beat at 6 wks. The baby never deveploed the heart beat. I personally got a D&C done. I wanted to have the baby out and get cleaned up well. I couldn't think of waiting until I had it naturally. Seeing something come out of me and knowing that was going to be my baby, it would be far off more devastating for me. Trust me you will never forget what has happened, but just be strong and you will see things will work out for the best.

Amanda, I was 12 weeks and my baby had no heartbeat at my ultrasound. I carried the baby for a week and it drove me crazy. I asked my doctor for a D&C and he said it would be better to try and miscarry naturally. He gave me a horrible drug to start the process that nearly killed me. I ended in emergency with low blood pressure, anemic and starting to go into shock. I had an emergency D&C and it stopped the bleeding. Its been 4 days and Im feeling better. It was the drug that caused me to bleed so much, so I dont know what is normal for bleeding. My sister and law said her natural miscarriage was very painful and still she bleed a lot. The D&C was better for me. I was asleep and it didnt take very long. now I can start healing physically and mentally. I plan on trying again in September. Its your decision and you know what you can handle. I wish the best for you and I dont want to scare you.

Hi sweeties, Dont worry! I have had 3 children...and every single pregnancy I had this...its scarry, I know, but its ok...its just old blood....I wouls have pinkish spotting, then a little while later...it would be brownish, my doctor said it was just old blood that was trapped up there, and everything was ok....sometimes your womb can bleed just a small bit, because its full of vessels, that can break easily....or it can be the baby emplanting to the uterus wall.....so dont be alarmed....its very normal, but if you blead with soaking a pad....you need to go to the doctors right away...cramps are normal too, its just the womb changing to carry your baby.....you wont believe how your body is changing everyday.....Im pregnant again, this will be my 4th baby...and Im only 28...lol...but Im glad I could help....its scarry I know, but everything will be fine...I bled terrible with my daughter, and shes 4 now...I had placenta prievia...when the placenta attaches to the bottom of the womb....and even then, chances are very good you will carry to term....Peace & Love to you all, just take it easy.....till your further along...and soon you will be holding your sweet little ones in your arms...
