What is happening to me? TW miscarriage/chemical
Hi! I’m in the painful waiting stage to figure out if I’m having a miscarriage or not. I’d love experiences or advice. TBH we have made peace with it if that’s the case…but I have a lot of medical anxiety and waiting is killing me emotionally.
Going to try and keep this brief but detailed. I’ve been loosely TTC with my husband.
NOV we only had sex twice between the 12-15 and haven’t since then. I had a really bad week of PMS and a late period by only 3-4 days, I took multiple early detection tests that were negative. I got my period as usual on 11/27 and it lasted until about 12/2. It was very standard! I noticed I gained about 8 lbs right before my period.
12/4 I felt very emotionally whack, that night I had super severe cramps and felt like I was hit by a truck. I thought was sick.
12/5 I woke up with very sore breasts, spotting, pink and brown like the end of a period. I thought hmm that’s weird maybe it’s the full moon..bleeding got heavier throughout the day and felt like a period was starting all over again, complete with all sorts of colors and clots, material etc. had a super bad headache. I randomly decided to take the one test I had laying around and it was lightly positive! We went out to grab more tests, all positive. I felt like something was wrong though from the second I found out, however…but based on sex and ovulation I’d be around 5 weeks.
12/6 I still had sore boobs, bleeding stopped, got a digital test that said pregnant. Had super bad cramping all day. Took another test and it was BARELY positive. Again still felt something was off and wrong. I def felt very PMS still, very crampy. I had weird night sweats all night.
12/7 today - woke up feeling “normal” aka no more symptoms at all. You know when that hormonal cloud clears after your period is? That’s how I feel. I went to urgent care because i wanted blood work done and they test for HGC there. Urine test was VERY faint. Waiting for blood work but they told me to prepare for it to be a chemical/miscarriage. I suddenly lost that 8 extra pounds as of this am. Boobs are not sore. I feel normal other than emotionally drained from all the up and down and anxiety…here’s where I’m confused. I went home and took another test (I know I shouldn’t have) but it was VERY DARK…. I also just started cramping again and bleeding again, it’s dark and there’s gritty gravel material. It has a smell it’s not terrible but has a noticeable odor.
I’ve accepted this is most likely a loss but ok so confused by the fluctuating test results?! I know I have to wait for bloodwork/ultrasounds.
What do you all think? Thank you!
