So I would be 8 weeks tomorrow, and last night before bed I had some red blood when I wiped and cramps. That continued overnight. Still bleeding this AM. Is this it? Ugh I'm going to call the OB first thing when they open.
I mean do I still go to work? I have a pretty easy desk job. An I think I will be able to hold it together empitionally.
Is there any hope left? I just don't know what to think. I never thought it would be me.

I think many women here can share positive outcomes of bleeding during pregnancy. I would just try to get into your OB first thing and go from there. I sat at my desk once when miscarrying and it was not a fun day

I bled extremely heavily with my first pregnancy. We'll never know if it was an SCH or twin m/c but I have a precious 4 year old now. Not all bleeding means m/c, def call! My ob put me in prometrium to help stop the bleeding.

@matador84: when you bled, did you have cramping as well? It feels like a period honestly.

@winniebee: I'm thinking physically, it might be easier at work vs at home chasing after a 17 month old.

@MrsBrewer: yes. And I passed a lot of tissue--it was honestly the scariest moment of my life. I went to the ER because there was so much blood and I was at work. I had just found out I was pregnant 3 days prior and was 11, almost 12 weeks.

@matador84: wow that sounds so scary. I'm so glad you had a positive outcome though!

So probably TMI. But I just passed a huge clump, probably the size of a baseball, and I looked in the toilet and I saw a small raspberry size lighter colored ball. I have a feeling I miscarried for sure just now.

Thinking of you and hope you have a positive outcome. I've had it go both ways before,however, with my DD I bled quite heavily a few different times in the first trimester. Best wishes.

I bled with this pregnancy a few times between 6-7 weeks, some brown and some red. It really freaked me out because I never bled with my other 3 pregnancies, including my missed miscarriage. I went in for a scan and saw a healthy heartbeat and the OB said there was a small bleed. I'm now 12 weeks. Hang in there and I would try to get in for an ultrasound or at least talk to your OB

I bled (gushes) from 7 - 8 weeks with my daughter. I didn't have cramping though. I will be thinking of you and I hope you have the best possible outcome

@MrsBrewer: I would go get an ultrasound. Also don't go to work. Call in sick. I was at work for my first MC and it was awful and I couldn't focus on work.

@MrsBrewer: Praying for you! I would not go to work. Emotionally it may be a lot to deal with until you have an actual answer. Please keep us updated.

Just got a call from the office, and I'll be going in today. Having horrible cramps. I decided to go into work, that way my DD is at the babysitters already, and I dont have to bring her along to the appt.

@MrsBrewer: I'm sorry, bleeding is scary. I bled a lot during my most recent pregnancy. Like gushes... And even tissue. I was convinced it was a miscarriage and I was so scared. I ended up being diagnosed with a placenta previa. Baby was healthy and even my previa resolved itself by @34 weeks. Ironically, I never bled with either of my two miscarriages...

@Alba4: I had that with my first pregnancy, and it resolved itself also. by 30 or so weeks, but I never had bleeding with it. maybe it's something like that. I'm just planning for the worst.

@MrsBrewer: Supposedly previas are more common if you've had one in a previous pregnancy. I hope you get good news. Hang in there!

@Alba4: I didn't know that. Interesting....Did you pass clots also or was it just blood?

I didn't bleed my first 2 pregnancies but I have had frequent bleeding this pregnancy (an IVF baby). I bled from 10 weeks to 16 weeks on and off - not super heavy a gush every few days and spotting for a few days. The docs could never find the source of the bleeding. I had heavy bleeding with clots again around 25 weeks for 2 days and again the source couldn't be found but baby and placenta were fine and unaffected. Hoping for good news for you too

Just wanted to say I'm so sorry you are going through this. I think there are a lot of stories of both sides of this experience, so I really hope for the best for you.
I miscarried at 6 weeks and it just felt like a period.

Update: I went in for an ultrasound at 10:30 this morning, and confirm that I miscarried. 
There is only a small amount left, and I should be done passing everything in the next 24/48 hours. I had a gut feeling this morning that I knew what was happening, I was just being hopeful. Thankfully DH met me at the Dr, and was there with me. I let out a few good cries, and I'm still grieving, but at least I know physically the worst is over with...hopefully.
Thank you everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers, I truly appreciate it. I know that miscarriages are common, I guess I was just naive, and never thought I would be that statistic. But here I am. I'm so thankful to be in a community filled with so much love and support though. So again, truly, thank you ladies.
