Q: Early Miscarriage

As most of you know I had posted about me being late on my period and getting some common pregnancy symptoms...Well I got what I thought was my period on wednesday december 3rd but it wasn't like most of my normal cycles...The first day I had minimal cramping and the blood was really dark and not even liquidy. Yesterday( my 2nd day) I woke up with absolutely horrible cramps, so bad I had to stop and bend over...They made me feel so sick too, after I was able to get up I went into the bathroom and noticed an abnormally big, what looked like jello(sry for being graphic) peice of what I thought was a blood clot.(went through about 4 pads in an hour because so much came out) it didnt seem normal so I called my best friend up and told her what was going on, then I had to call her back because I doubled over in pain again and went back to the bathroom only to find another mass of jello looking stuff. It definitely wasnt a blood clot because it wasn't smooth and liquidy. It was clumpy and really dark, it didnt even look like blood, it looked like small amounts of tissue clumped together...Usually by my second day my flow is pretty heavy and bright red...I called my friend back and told me she thinks I was having a miscarriage, because that wasnt normal..And her aunt had just had one last month and she described it the same exact way...So I looked it up online and it's saying I had an early miscarriage, because I wasn't far enough along, all I got was really bad cramping, sharp pains,i was late and had a heavy and clumpy jello like "discharge"...Today I feel shot down and weak, I was in the shower and got out and almost fell down, and now im having a bright red, heavy flow......Im calling my doctor in a little bit to confirm this, because im in complete denial and don't believe it..I dont even know what to think.. I'll update after I get a solid answer to this.

Ok let us know. I dont know how could you be pregnant if youve never had sex. Have you done it with him yet?

We havent had full blown sex, but we had "dry sex" a couple times without a condom on a while ago, and there was visible precum afterwards, he put it in for a little bit and then put a condom on...Im such a worrier so I was just like whatever, its no biggie....But the one time I think that, is the one time where there's reason to worry.. My friend's aunt(nurse) even said that much precum getting put inside, even just a little, and then me orgasming, makes it very possible for me to have gotten preg because the orgasm pushes the sperm up higher....And I was thinking about it yesterday,and if I ever did get pregnant right now, I dont think my body could handle it because im on the verge of anemia again, I havent been eating right...My body can barely take care of itself right now, let alone another human being on top of it...I dont know, I have mixed feelings, like I said, I dont believe it, but we're calling my doctor later to see what they say.

Jennifer,
isn't a d&c where they clean you out? If this was a miscarriage, wouldn't my body do it itself, since it was so early on? Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening..

You might not need a d&c however going to the doctor is necessary.

I'm so scared right now, I don't even know where to start...I just got in from going out with my best friends because I was such a mess over this, I was hysterical, they said that I can either tell my mom and have her take me to my doctor, or they said they'll take me to the clinic to get me checked out, either way I have to choose one of them...I told them I dont want to go to the doctors because 1, I dont know what they're going to say or do, and 2, I dont want to hear them tell me I had a miscarriage...Ive wanted to be a mother for as long as I can remember, and knowing that something was inside me, but my body couldnt hold it, will be too much for me. I'm so scared, I don't want to have to get a d&c, I dont even know what they do, but I dont want it...You guys I dont know what to do.

Go to the clinic. You need to find out whats wrong. I know your scared but be brave. If you tell your mom shes be upset you were with an older guy. Or just tell her and go to your regular doc. You need to find out. Dont sit and think over it, its not gonna get you better. Please do it for your safety, quick.

Is there any way of knowing by myself if I was pregnant? I mean if I took a hpt would it show even if I did miscarry? I didn't want to tell tom because I don't know how he'll react, but my friends told me he deserved to know...He called me a little bit ago and I told him we have to talk later, then he called me 10 mins ago to see if I wanted to talk then so he knows somethings up...But I dont know how to tell him...I mean how do I start? I feel like he's either not going to believe me and think im psycho or freak out on me...Im just so confused right now, im sorry to vent on you guys, but I seriously feel like this isnt even happening...And that d&c procedure scares the crap out of me....They have to dilate your cervix as if you were giving birth and then suction everything out...I don't know if I can go through with that...My first reaction is to call tom again and just explain everything, but I cant, I dont know what to do...My mom knows somethings wrong and told me I can tell her anything, so I dont know how im going to tell her, if I do....And as more time goes on the more its becoming real, I read up more on it and it said something about a foul smelling discharge..And even though im still bleeding, I noticed a smell to it that I never get...So thats got me thinking...And I shouldnt even be bleeding today because its my 3rd and usually last day....But im bleeding so heavily....After I got out of the shower today my towel was soaked with blood....Why is this happening to me??? I cant take it!

Listen very carefully. You are in extreme need of medical attention. Like nikki said be brave and tell her. This is your life we're talking about. You could be hemmoraging (which could be deadly) and you are losing vast amounts of blood. Right now what happened in the past is of no importance, you need to get help now (caps). I really hope your ok and that you go to the hospital

Darling,
the bleeding has come to a minimum and now I only need to wear a panty liner, because there's just spotting now....I talked to my friend(her whole fam. Is made up of drs) and she said everybody seems to think that I miscarried....Tom's in philadelphia all weekend and my 2 best friends are working, one of them told me she would take me tomorrow to the clinic if they're open, and if not, possibly the hospital....Im not bleeding extreme anymore and my only complaints right now are nausea, tiredness,slight aches/cramping, and being bloated...But then I have bad anxiety so of course all of this is gonna make me go nuts, so the nausea is more then likely caused by my nerves...I just talked to tom and told him to call me in a little bit after he settles in so we can talk....Im planning on talking to my mom tomorrow morning after I talk to him and let him know whats going on....I also talked to one of my teachers(im homeschooled right now) and she gave me the #s to call to find the closest planned parenthood...She also didnt seem too concerned with my symptoms...I mean they're not so extreme to where im immobile, but abnormal enough to make me notice somethings different.....I need sleep, so I think im going to bed soon....Ill keep u posted

I'm going to get a hpt tonight(if I can get a ride Surprised\ ) and see if it shows that I was even pregnant in the first place....There's a possibility that it will come up negative even if I was because my hcg levels would be low...But if I get a test that tests for low hcg levels then it'll come up positive if I was in fact pregnant(thanks to jess and her helpful advice! Laughing )....Oh man, this is becoming more real...I'll post after I take the test...If not tonight, then first thing tomorrow morning(i have a feeling it'll be then)....And thanks guys for all of your support...You've really pulled me through this, without you guys i'd probably be going crazy right now....So thank you to everybody who's thrown in a few words of advice and support...It's helped tremendously...Hugs to everybody!
Vanessa
and darling, I felt like crying after your last post...Thank you so much for your concern with all of this, im truly thankful to have someone like you around! I am so stunned at the sincerity you all have shown....I love all of you as if you were family...Im gonna cry now! I'll keep you all updated if anything changes or when I take the test...Whichever comes first!

Just wanted to let everybody know that im still here and doing okay! I was up half the night thinking about the hpt...My friend's on her way over now to take me to get one...I'm so nervous, I don't know what to think. I told tom last night and he really surpassed my assumptions. At first he was like I dont get it, we never had sex, but then it could have been possible because of the contact we had....So he didn't deny it, and didn't make me feel guilty whatsoever(i thought he would)...He told me that at least I was okay and if there was anything I needed to call him...Well my friend's here...Ahh wish me luck! Ill post when I get back...

Hey everybody,
sorry for keeping you all waiting...Well, I went to cvs and got a hpt and looked at it for about 20 minutes before I actually took it...I was so nervous...I did the whole pee thing and sat and looked at it for about 2 mintues....Well, I was so nervous I was looking at the wrong side! Lol, but when I finally realized I turned it over and saw 1 pink line....Meaning if I did miscarry, I was too early on for the hpt to detect the hcg levels....So either way it made me feel so much better just knowing it was negative....But, im still bleeding a little bit off and on, so if it doesn't stop entirely by tomorrow im going to talk to my mom and get in to see the dr on monday....I think I might go either way, because it's going to kill me not knowing if I lost a little one or not, I just have this gut instinct that my intuitions were right....I'm still pretty tired and weak from all of this, so i'm just taking it easy and letting my body do what it needs to and i'll go from there. Thanks to all of you girls who supported me through this, I couldnt of done it without you all....I told tom and he is just happy that i'm okay, I can't wait to see him again so that I can just hug him....Thats what I need right now...I'll post more after I feel a little better..
Much love,
vanessa
