Heavy Blood Loss, Pains And Yet Egg Sack Grown? Help! Posted: 04-17-06 07:47am
I'm now 9 1/2 weeks pregnant, at 8 1/2
weeks I began spotting with blood which
over the course of a few days became heavy
and red. I had acute cramping and lost a
lot of blood clots, I was convinced I had
miscarried. I went for a follow up scan
today and explained what had happened and
my womb was checked to make sure it was
empty. It wasn't! The egg sack remains
and infact it has grown!! However, they
could not get a clear look at what was
inside the sack. I have irregular periods
and they think I may not be as far along
as i'd thought.I had blood taken and have
to again wednesday to compare the
pregnancy levels. I should know wednesday
evening if it fell or rose.
Someone said maybe it was twins and i'd
lost one?
Since returning home after having the
internal scan, I had the most awful
stomach ache (he was none too gentle with
the scanner!), and I have lost a massive
clot, since then the pains have almost
subsided. I know if that was the baby
then my levels will significantly drop.
The waiting is the worst. I just wondered
if anyone has any suggestions or ideas,
any thing would be gratefully accepted. I
know I just have to wait and see and
no-one knows but has this happened to
anyone else? Can things continue?
Personally I feel i've lost too much blood
and had too much pain for everything to be
okay.
Look forward to your comments. Chrissie

Hun that does not sound good. Has the
doc had any input on what it may be or
what the clot was? I have never been
pregnant but I feel for you. I hope
everything is ok with you & your baby!
Good luck hun!!

You know what doctors are like, they don't
commit to saying anything incase they are
wrong. This evening I should get my
results of the pregnancy hormone blood
tests, so its still wait and see i'm
afraid! I'm still bleeding although the
pain has now subsided. The results should
give more idea, either way they'll
probably have to scan me very soon, either
to check the womb is empty if the levels
have dropped, or to see the progress if
the levels have risen. I will get back to
you with what they say. Thanks for your
comments.

My hormone levels dropped significantly,
although I so wanted this baby, its a
relief to finally know the outcome - that
i've miscarried. Given the awful pains
i'd had and the blood, there seemed little
hope but you always cling on to the chance
however remote it seems.
At least I now know where we stand, this
is the third miscarriage i've had and
having gone through so much, we've no
intention have trying again, my husband
and I are very close and have each other
and thats more than some people have!
I'm to be rescanned next week and they
will just make sure I don't need a
d&c.
Thanks again.

Another Update! Posted: 04-26-06 13:07pm
Just returned from my final scan, my womb
is now empty and I didn't need a d&c.
It's been a long few weeks of
uncertainty.
I think some way down the line I will get
some blood work done but for now I just
need to take a while to "heal".
Thank you all so much - I love you all -
you help me stay strong at my lowest
times.
Chrissie
