Bleeding in pregnancy

The best advice that you can have is from qualified professionals who can see the full picture regarding what you are presenting with, and make treatment decisions based on this.

And Anti-D does not help you conceive btw.

Think you should go back to hospital and get checked out as it may be an ectopic. Pain and/or unexplained bleeding in early pregnancy cannot be ruled out as not being ectopic until seen on ultrasound; I'm suprised they let you go home!

Did they do blood tests on you to check your HCG levels? Usually checked every 24 hours in this sort of circumstance - normal, uterine pregnancy the levels tend to double every 24 hours, miscarriage - levels start dropping, ectopic - levels usually climb gradually (however, they can still double every 24 hours indicating normal uterine pregnancy - which is why ectopic cannot be ruled out until pregnancy identified by ultrasound).

Good luck.

Sorry, just an after thought!
They should have also advised you that if you get any pain radiating down your arm/shoulder to return to hospital as a matter of urgency as this could be a sign of internal bleeding and a ruptured ectopic.

Just popped in to say I hope everything turns out okay for you.

I've had 3 miscarriages so I know how you're feeling. (((hug))) (Hope it's a false alarm though.) And I agree, you're better off in hospital.

I've also had a twin miscarraige at 14 weeks. I bled a lot but went on to have a 9.5lb baby boy. Anything's possible - that's why it's always better to get yourself checked out. x

Dippy, I just popped back and saw you have been around during the evening - if you aren't going to hospital, try and get some rest.
Hope all goes well

Going in half an hour to the hospital for appointment at 9.

Am fine, changing pads like it were a period and hoping for the best

They will know what's going on with me later.
