I’m so sad. I’m 5 weeks, 4 days into my first pregnancy and started bleeding yesterday morning. Went to my OBGYN and said it’s very possible this is a miscarriage, however, my cervix was still closed at the time. I’m 29 and have no family history of miscarriages or abnormalities. I’m taking my 2nd blood test tomorrow to see if my HCG levels are falling (bad sign) since my first test. I stopped bleeding this afternoon so lasted ~24 hours... I’m so confused and sad and emotionally drained. 😓

Hope for the best, and if not, I’m so sorry. My wife had a miscarriage a few months ago at 8 weeks. Extremely heartbreaking, but we also learned a ton through the process. Especially how hard it is to get pregnant, and how common miscarriages are. Stay strong, OP.

If you stopped bleeding that might be a good sign. When I had my miscarriage around the same time, the bleeding got really heavy within a few hours after it started and didn’t go away for more than two weeks. Hoping for a good outcome tomorrow.

You might just have a subchorionic hemorrhage. Pretty common in the first trimester. Take it easy until you know more. Bleeding is a lot more common than people make you think. Good luck!

I had bleeding at 6 weeks with this pregnancy and pretty severe cramping too. It lasted a week and a half and turned out to be a hematoma. Someone mentioned it above. It completely resolved by 10 weeks but I was a basket case for a while. Was really convinced it was another miscarriage.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

Had an FET transfer and just got the news that the pregnancy test is negative. Feeling very defeated about it. All my labs are good (AMH 3.1) and the embryos were PGA tested. Have only two left now, and this was the best quality one. The irony is I did feel pregnant couple days after transfer but then I stopped feeling pregnant. I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.
