Im 6 weeks two days pregnant and had horrible cramps, excessive bright red blood coming out from my vagina, and two huge blood clots that came out of me,. I obviously went to the hospital and they ran the blood test and ultrasound and the doctor said I had a threatened miscarriage,but the baby was ok and everything was fine so I was sent home on bed rest, but I'm extremely nervous because after the cramping stoppef I continued bleeding and one last blood clot came out.. What is going on? I'm terrified
I found out I was pregnant and was told I was 6 weeks sometime went by and I went for another check up and was 8 weeks from the Health Department then I went to the ER and they said I was 5 weeks... I have been experiencing some cramping that is quite painful but doesnt make me double over and some light to moderate bleeding with some clotting... I went back to the ER and they said its likely I was miscarrying but it couldn't be guaranteed.. they said the babies heartbeat was low at only 91 but I am not sure what to think or who to believe.. they seem to kinda be just blowing it off. I have an appointment with my OB on April 4th.. but I am going crazy.. can anyone give me a piece of mind??
I am 25 yrs old about to turn 26 in about a week or two and I' m on my second round of Clomiphene 100mg. well i have been off it for about three days now and still have not ovulated, getting kinda worried that something might be wrong with me. My fiance has four other kids so i know he isn't the problem. I found this site and was possibly looking for a few answers or just someone to talk to about it, because all my fiance says is "the doctor will figure it out." and that's don't make me feel much better.....
Abby1 you need to keep going back to your doctor! if there is something wrong you might need to go to hospital to get the sac removed as sometimes they are known to stay inside and rot away. If you cant get a straight answer from your doctor you may have to seek out a midwife for help on the issue as they can get help faster and have so much knowledge. But you need to get onto this as soon as possible! Im really sorry that you have to go through this. Its an expecting mother's worst nightmare and not something you should deal with on your own. Are you close to your mum or have a best friend you can trust? talk to them and see if they can go to the doctors with you for support.
