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.. ;)
