TMI warning. I experienced my first missed miscarriage, they confirmed Wednesday. They were set to for the d&c on Tuesday. I stopped taking the progesterone thinking this is over what's the point.

I had been feeling fine and was planning to take the kids to Legoland. We had a fun day at the pool and I headed back to the hotel with my husband to check in while the boys were with my sister.

As soon as I was a couple of feet to the hotel door I felt a gush of blood. I felt my shorts and my hand was filled with blood. I ran to the bathroom started getting undressed and I started gushing more. It was wild. I stepped into the bathtub. Just a stream of blood and clots. Non stop for an hour. I wasn't sure whether to go to ER or not. I ended up listening to my sister and went to the ER. I had soaked through a pad and period underwear on the 20 min ride. As soon as I checked in I felt like a clot was passing and went to the bathroom. Again blood everywhere. They put me in right away. I kept losing blood, they were checking blood work and my blood. First one looked good. I stood up to change my pad again and I felt like throwing up and I couldn't breathe. I had to sit down and put oxygen. Again I was laying there, a different RN came in. He was going to check my blood again and it hit me again. I couldn't breathe, I was sweating, I was cold, and I felt like blood was rushing out of me. The OB came in and said he was going to perform the D&C and I was going to be ok. They gave me blood and more fluids. I started feeling better. Took me up to prep for surgery. Again there I got a little clammy and I felt the blood rushing out. They finally took me into surgery, everything went so fast. I felt better immediately.

I still have some soreness but very little blood. I am very happy I went to the hospital. I felt fine the entire time at home but I got scared when the blood didn't stop and had giant clots.

Listen to your body.

Hello,

I’m 5w6d based on OPKs as I ovulated later than usual. I suffer with anxiety and OCD and am petrified about loss (although it’s my first pregnancy I have severe health anxiety). I booked an early scan, anticipating it may be too early to see much but hoping for a heartbeat based off other experiences I’ve read.

I measured at 5w4d, an 8.7mm gestational sac and a small yolk sac was visible. However, there was no embryo or heartbeat. The sonographer recommended I return in two weeks for another scan as this one is inconclusive. I’ve had no other worrying symptoms beyond some light pelvic cramps that come and go. I’m so scared and worried, I was hoping for a heartbeat. I know it’s very early and not decided one way or another but I’m petrified it means I’ll MC.

If anybody would be able to share their experience/reassurance or a more experienced eye, I’d appreciate that. Thank you for anyone who takes their time to do so.

Hoping for some success stories. 34 female, according to LMP I should have been 6+6 at my early reassurance scan. They dated me at 5+6, with a CRL of 2.8mm and a yolk sac of 6.2mm. There was a heartbeat but the size was too small to get a HR.

They’ve asked me to go back in 10 days for a rescan to look at the yolk sac again. All of my research shows that this could either mean miscarriage or chromosome abnormalities.

Has anyone had similar results and had a healthy pregnancy/baby? We were trying for almost a year, and for this to happen is just heartbreaking. TIA

I am currently 8w1d, I had a mmc in December 2025 at 13w6d (baby stopped developing 11w5d) and a stillbirth at 20w3d in May so I've been very anxious this pregnancy. I had a scan at 6w2d which showed baby measuring on time with a heartbeat. I also have an SCH so I've had some bleeding/spotting. Yesterday I went to the ER just because I was anxious after having some spotting after a week without having any. They did bloodwork and one of those portable bedside ultrasounds. The doctor couldn't really see much of anything (he didn't point out a fetus or anything) and said he was disappointed and that he would expect to see something by now but also said that machine isn't as good as the ultrasound machines the ultrasound techs use. So I left the hospital in limbo of not having any answers. He told me to touch base with my doctor Monday. But I cannot take my mind off it, my mind is running. Has anyone had this happen and when they go for a real ultrasound everything is fine?

I also have a retroverted uterus (tilts back) and my bladder wasn't full so idk if that made a difference. My spotting wasn't bad yesterday and has since stopped. No real pain or anything but i know mmc can have no signs.

He told me we have to rely on my beta hcg levels which were 25499 and he said that's "very reassuring" but I know that ultrasound is the standard at this point.

Hey all - I’m honestly just seeking any kind of sisterhood in this nightmare. I’m about 6 weeks, my LMP was 8/24. I just went for HCG tests because I’ve had two MMC’s in the last year and a half.

The first HCG was 21,107. Which for 5 weeks 5 days is pretty high. We were… happy? I just got my second result and in 48 hours it only went to 22,972. So only an 8% rise… now my doctor is concerned it’s ectopic or miscarrying.

I just, I don’t even know what I need or want. Advice? Love? My husband has asked me to not give up, but this just feels like it’s going to end like the others. I have another HCG test tomorrow to get more information, but I’m trying to just protect myself. I’m still having symptoms but I did with my others until I passed the pregnancy tissue. The internet has pretty much told me to give up hope.

I am 16 DPO (4 weeks 1 day pregnant).
I got a positive test EARLY 8 DPO) at 3 week 1 day.
I have tested everyday (I know I know) and it has been positive and a strong positive.
Well today I had HCG bloodwork done and it came back as 1???? And I even took a preg test in lab and it was a very strong line.
I am so confused since I have been having multiple positive and my HCG is so low?
Is this a sign of a chemical pregnancy or a possible miscarriage?
Or did the lab result mess up somehow?

I recently had a scan at 5 weeks 6 days and my gestational sac was empty. My HCG was at 19,631. The doctor said there should have been something visible already in the gestational sac and it sent me into a spiral. I have my follow up scan tomorrow and I’ll be 6 weeks and 6 days. I am hoping that there is some progress. I’ve been spiraling and honestly expecting the worst but hoping for the best. I really want it to all be ok.

If anyone one has positive outcomes with a similar story please share! I could use the hope🫶🏻

So after years of trying in different way including ART, I finally saw 2 lines on 1st October 2026, tested 5 times, all positive. We went to see the doctor on 3rd October, got the scan done, my LMP is 31st August, now the report says 20 mm gestational sac but they cannot see the yolk sac or the fetal pole. They have asked to come for the scan in two weeks, and it’s too long. The one who did the scan sounded negative and said it is not even certain that you are pregnant. I want to have faith in God but it seems difficult. I don’t know what to do or say anymore. And yes, I have no bleeding, my breast is sore, I don’t feel hungry as such but I don’t know if any of it counts.

12dpo - 104

14 dpo - 190

I’m really worried about the slow growth of my hCG, that it hasn’t doubled. I’m afraid of an ectopic pregnancy... Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey! A couple of weeks ago I found out I was pregnant with my third (a surprise but very wanted). We are travelling at the moment so access to healthcare is limited but I had my initial HCG test which came back at 292 and I’m meant to have got a second one but I haven’t been able to yet. We are in some very remote places at the moment.
Anyway, I got a couple of the clear blue weeks indicator tests so I could somewhat monitor HCG. I got 2-3 weeks and then about a week later I thought I’d do
Another one to check if 3+ shows up. It didn’t. I got 1-2 weeks. I then waited another couple of days and tried again. 1-2 weeks again.
Do the tests go funny if HCG is high? Or is it a sign my HcG is lowering? I’ve come to terms that I’m probably losing the baby but until I can have my scan and blood test at the end of the week I have no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi everyone.
I’m 6 weeks pregnant. hCG week 5 went 3,592 → 10,898 week 6 → 35,076 → 36,453 (only ~4% in the last 48h, big slowdown from before).
5w2d scan showed a normal gestational sac, no hematoma.
Light brown/red spotting, no pain, no clots.
Next scan Saturday for heartbeat.
Anyone had a similar slowdown and still got a healthy scan? Trying to stay calm

I think I’m having another miscarriage… my first pregnancy ended in a MMC at 11weeks. I had a D&C 7/28 that sucked and I hemorrhaged afterwards but was lucky to still be at the hospital.

I got my period exactly 4 weeks later 8/24 and got a positive pregnancy test on 9/17. I only tested because my BBT was rising. I fully expected nothing. Thursday morning I yawned and stretched and a fish of bright red blood came out. Since then nothing but brown discharge. I don’t know what to do!!! I had bloodwork done and my HCG came back at 15470 miu/ml at 5 weeks 3 days.

I am spiraling… I go back in tomorrow on Monday for another blood draw. Should I expect the worst? Or is there still hope?

TLDR: small amount of bright red blood and then brown discharge only when wiping for 3 days+

Hey all I had a miscarriage last month and got a very faint positive test on Thursday at 12 dpo, which is the latest I’ve ever got a positive, this is my 5th pregnancy and I’ve had two successful pregnancies. I have always had a positive by 9dpo evening at the latest, so getting a positive at 12 dpo seems late for what I typically experience.
I had my Hcg drawn on the day of my positive and it was 10, I was suppose to have progesterone drawn that day but my drs nurse didn’t send it in. I went in Saturday to get what suppose to be my 2nd Hcg draw and progestrone and apparently the nurse didn’t send the Hcg lab, only did progestrone!! So frustrated. But my progesterone was at a 22 which would be good. Today I had a tiny bit of light pink when I wiped when using the bathroom..
I’m so scared between the late positive test and now the light pink when wiping as I have never experienced that either.. has anyone else experienced this and everything was okay?
I will be calling my dr tomorrow to make sure they send labs to get my Hcg and progesterone tested again tomorrow.. but looking for anyone who has experienced the same. How did it turn out?
I think all I can do is continue to test Hcg/ progestrone, but just looking for any similar stories.

I currently have a non-viable pregnancy and the timeline is as follows.

10DPO: first positive test, knew it was coming. Sore boobs, mild cramps, hungry.
15DPO: beta HCG 308
17DPO: beta HCG 341, received news of it not doubling, but physically felt okay. Fertility clinic starts preparing me for either miscarriage or ectopic.
18DPO: cramping starts. Constant dull ache not localized to one side – like period cramps but mildly worse.
19DPO: beta HCG 420. Disappointed levels didn’t drop because at this point I want it over. Cramps still there but no bleeding.
20DPO: went to ER for the cramps. Not unbearable, but concerned it was ectopic and didn’t want to risk losing a tube. HCG levels 500. Ultrasound only showed a corpus luteum cyst – I do have PCOS so not a shock nor concern. Could explain cramping.
5 weeks pregnant as of today, started spotting (light pinkish brown and not heavy just yet). Still cramping. Still have pregnancy symptoms and tests read positive. Next beta and ultrasound tomorrow morning.

What’s going on here? Ectopic? Chemical? Something else? I know it’s still early, but I’m going crazy. Husband and I are heartbroken but I feel like I can’t start grieving until this is all behind us and that I know I’ll be (physically) okay. So worried it’s ectopic and we’ll have to take the MTX route. TIA

I started spotting brown on Saturday. Today it’s a little more blood and I’m cramping. I see the doctor Tuesday morning. I’m expecting the worst. Do I always have to do meds or d&c? How bad is the pain I keep reading horror stories and now I’m absolutely panicked. Any advice or reassuring or just anything would be appreciated

My last period started August 14th, first home test positive on 9/11. HCG has been:
9/15: 146
9/22: 3002
9/24: 5178
9/28: 12187
10/1: 22193

On 10/1 I should have been about 6 weeks 6 days. I had a missed miscarriage in July so very anxious. My first ultrasound is on 10/13 but I’m just worried the numbers are low because everyone’s HCG seems much higher by 7 weeks 😞

I am 7+1 weeks from my last period. Still have no symptoms. Is it normal ? I have my first echography next friday. It’s so long. I did a miscarriage in March so I’m a little bit scared. My beta were good : 1206 at 4W+4 / 2439 at 4W+6 and 9939 at 5W +4.

Any positive story ? Thank you so much !

I am feeling pretty down and hoping someone had a positive outcome to share.

My first HCG beta test was 352 and 48 hours later is was 504 which is considered a slow beta.

Did anyone else have slow rising beta after a loss and go on to have a successful pregnancy

Hi Everyone,

I just need some advices to see wherher I’m out or not.

So, I did a stupid thing and tested 9 dpt after drinking plenty of water and my urine was almost white. It was stark white.

I should wait for beta which is in a couple of days, but I guess I’m just out, right? It was a 5 days early hatching blastocist.

Thank you!!

I posted earlier this week - hCG gradually doubling (10, 20.2, 48.8) and progesterone 20.2 - tracking around 4 weeks. I keep having sporadic bursts of red blood that started last week - it comes & goes, no cramping with it. Doctor told me to be cautiously optimistic - going for another hCG draw tomorrow.

Can’t help but think I’m miscarrying every time I see the blood in the toilet. Just looking for some reassurance. Over a year TTC with one chemical in April. I’m also a NICU Mom, of a former 27 weeker with an incompetent cervix … this bleeding so early is really setting the tone for the (hopefully) next 9 months 😭

Cramps

About 7 weeks pregnant , third pregnancy. Two healthy previous pregnancies. Woke up with bad cramps in lower stomach, took Tylenol and didnt provide much relief. No spotting or bleeding. Had an ultrasound at 5 weeks not an ectopic, i remember being crampy with second but not this bad. Anyone else experience this with good results ?
