Hiya All,
Im really confused at the minute & wondered if anyone else had ever had this...Sorry its such a long post but I think I should go right from the top so you have the WHOLE picture

I started getting pains & bleeding on 22rd Dec, I had a scan on 24th that confirmed I was still pregnant but they said if the pregnancy was going to fail it would happen, they couldnt stop it, but I could hold out hope the bleeding would stop has she gave me 50/50 chance. I was 5 weeks. There on in the pains & blood loss got alot heavier & on the 27th Dec I lost a huge clot (i'd been losing golf ball size 1s already but this was easily 3 times that) After that the bleeding slowed to a very moderate flow & by the new year it was just spotting, by the 3rd it had stopped. On the 6th I rung the Early Pregnancy Unit who said if a pregnancy test was negative they didnt need to see me back has it had all come away naturally. A test was negative so I havent been seen by anyone since, not even my GP. On the 20th Jan I had some spotting, on the 21st I had a very light bleed but on the 22nd there was nothing, was that my period? Weve been having unprotected sex since my bleeding stopped. I did a HPT on the 28th that was a BFN so now I dont know where I stand with my cycle or anything. Im not sure whether to go to my GP.

So what should I do? I want to start trying for a baby ASAP but if im not ovulating & havent had a proper bleed since my M/C theres no chance of that happening. Im really confused & the whole ting just keeps floating round my mind. Any advice would be really appreciated. My DH thinks that because all the HPT and Ovulation tests are coming back negative that the M/C was complete & I should stop stressing about it so much, what do you think?

Thanks for reading this long post LOL

Try not to get too stressed out, the light bleeding was either the remenents of the m/c or a very light period. Have you tried a pregnancy test, maybe, like me, you ovulated straight after your m/c and got pregnant, the light bleeding could be an implantation bleed.
Its a relly horrible thing to be gpoing through and all of us here are do understand....

If in doubt, go to your gp and speak to them, they can be a bit crap about it sometimes but they are the people who will know more about it.

I wish you all the best and let us know what they said!

Hiya, I thought (well hoped) it could be implantation bleeding because we have been trying again, I did a HPT but it was BFN could this be because im testing too early? My boobs have really swelled & I have felt a little ikky but this isnt unusual for me, I dont usually get sore boobs with AF due though. Im going to wait till last week in feb to see if AF arrives & if not im going to see my GP.

sorry you're having such a rough time, our bodies can be very confusing so I'm not surprised you're stressing. I'm obviously not a doctor and can only advise from my own experience but I've had 3 m/c's so got some idea what you're going through. I would say it's likely the light bleed you had was your period, I had exactly the same after my first and second, not sure whether that means you definitely ovulated or whether it's just your body sorting itself out and kind of revving up for your first proper cycle after m/c. Our bodies often fall back into our old cycles and the light bleeds I had happened around the time my periods would have been due if I'd never fallen pregnant, if you were regular before it might be worth working your dates out to see if they coincide and if they do it'll give you some idea where you are in your cycle now. It doesn't work like that for everyone and a trip to your GP can't hurt, even if it's just to put your mind at rest, but it can take a while for things to settle down after m/c so please try not to worry. I know it's frustrating when all you want is to get on with trying again and you feel like your body won't play ball but the more relaxed you can manage to be about it the better chance you have. Being patient is practically impossible in your situation and I know how irritating it is when people (DH's included!) tell you to stop stressing but the best advise I can give you is to stay focused on looking after yourself so at least you feel like you're doing something positive. The better shape you're in, mentally and physically, the better chance you have of getting pregnant again so make a point of doing stuff that makes you feel good. Taking the focus off ttc can work wonders and you deserve some TLC. Hope you're doing ok, message anytime if you need to talk.

Lotsa love,
