I am so so upset and frustrated & wondered if anyone else has been through similar.
Last Saturday I started bleeding red blood - I should have been almost 8 weeks pregnant. The bleeding was only a bit and lasted for an hour or so then turned to spotting.
I got scanned a few days later and the scan showed an empty sac measuring 5-6 weeks. No fetal pole or anything.
So understandably they told me to come back a week later for another scan.
I had told myself by this point that I was having a miscarriage because I knew my dates were not wrong. I know when I ovulated & I know when I last had sex in order to conceive so there was no possible way I could be over 2 weeks out.
I’ve been spotting brown blood all week and losing some small clots.
Went back for the second scan today expecting to be told it was a miscarriage and hoping I would be given my options on how to pass it.
But they said I have to wait another week for another scan to be sure.
My bloods are all very low and have not increased so I was basically told in the week that it’s unlikely this pregnancy is progressing. So since nothing has changed in 10 days or so I don’t know why I’m being made to wait another week just for the inevitable.
It’s absolute torture being made to wait. I’m off sick from work because I’m essentially waiting to have a miscarriage that could happen at any time but I’ve been told I get 2 weeks of sick leave. So if this goes on for another week plus then I don’t know what I’m going to do.
I also wanted to opt for the surgical removal but now I won’t get that option until next week & if I naturally pass it in the meantime I basically just have to deal with it. I’m so upset and heartbroken and just exhausted. I’m already being tortured knowing I’ve lost my pregnancy. It’s just awful 😢

So I am 16 weeks and 5 days now and I want to try to prepare myself for what's to come. I have had mixed reactions to the idea of watching child birth docs/TV shows such as one born every minute. What do people think? I have never seen the show before myself, Will this be helpful or am I going to scare myself? 😂😂
