I am anything between 4 - 6 weeks pregnant due to irregular periods and am ALMOST certainly miscarrying at the moment or may have very recently miscarried.
The EPAU could not see anything on an internal scan or normal scan and because my urine test was positive they did a beta hcg blood test on Fri which came back as 89 and they will do another one on Monday.

They have advised they wil need to terminate if the pregnancy is growing outside the womb and explained that i will continue to have regular blood and urine tests until I hit negative.

During the last 7 days I started off with brown paste - type spotting / discharge every now and then. Then 5 days ago I started with a watery bloody discharge which has become less watery but certainly not normal period type blood, its very light like watered down ketchup.

The bleeding is continuous but doesnt fill a sanitary towel {just a few marks} and is only when I wipe {approx 2-3 wipes each time, Sorry TMI]. I ve also had pains and cramps in my back, sides and tummy, intermittently, sometimes painful but not really severe

This evening I have noticed I now also have a small amount of semi sticky cervical mucus as well, I cant seem to find any links with CM and early miscarriages and just wondered if this seems / is normal??

On a seperate note, Im sure I've read that you should refrain from sex until after the miscarriage is complete, is this def correct as it wasnt mentioned at all to me by the EPAU?? Again sorry if TMI,

Thanks in advance to anyone who may replies.. ;)

I'm not sure if I can help but I had an ERPC on Monday. After the op, I was bleeding red blood, but I could tell it was different from AF, it looked more like the blood of a wound. The bleeding then became very minimal the next day and just became brownish spotting. I think my bleeding may have stopped but I can't be sure yet because I haven't been bleeding much anyway. Anyway, yesterday I noticed my CM seemed quite slippery but only really noticed this when I wiped after going to the loo.

Again, I have had the same today. I'm going to have to buy some white toilet paper, the one we have at the moment is a creamy/peachy colour so it's hard to tell if there is still blood. I'm also feeling quite a bit of pressure down in my lower stomach, worse in the morning and when I need the loo.

I was told by the doctor not to have sex again until after the bleeding/discharge has completely stopped.

I hope this is of some help to you and I hope that you get through this ok

sounds like it is starting. they say not to have sex while MC due to you being suceptable to infection. I am so sorry for your loss, i hope you feel better soon

Hi that sounds very similar to my experience although i was about 7 weeks, it went very brown spotting after a about 10 days and then stopped,mine turned out to be an incomplete m/c and i had a erpc 18 days ago.
they say to refrain from sex because during the m/c and until the bledding stops your cervix is open and obviously susseptible to infection.

so sorry for your loss and post any time, i found i had 101 questions when i was going through this and this was the only place i could get answers and support of people who new what i was talking about.

I had a mc in November 4 weeks 3 days gone, I bleed for a day, no cramps just watery blood then a couple of clots.

It's such a difficult time for you and I am currently nearly 7 weeks pregnant and things aren't looking good again. I too am back tomorrow but to be honest I'm expecting the worst.

I had little clots for about 2 days and then one evening i coughed and lost a really big clot (sorry tmi but looks exactly like liver).
i doubt very much this was the baby more than likely tissue breaking up.
so your going through this
