Feeling a bit worried
Hi ladies please help I am 7 weeks and last week when I was 6 I went for a scan but they couldn't see my baby is that possible? I have been spotting brown a little red think 2-5 days of red and ever since its brown. Had hcg done twice but both dropping I had its possible for it to drop since I'm going to sec trimester but the student doc said I must have my womb cleaned coz the baby died inside- I don't believe a word she says because I still have all the symptoms and I haven't had any blood Clots coming out not even blood I'm confused pls help!

hi didnt want to read and run
if your 7 weeks gone then your still in your 1st trimester and i would ask for an internal scan, they will get a clearer pic of whats going on, at 7 weeks they should be able to see a heart beat.
I lost 2 last year and at 6 weeks i saw my baby with a heart beat but 2 weeks later she/he had died, i had to have a d&c where they clear the womb it didnt hurt and they put you to sleep for it.
If you HGC levels are dropping and your bleeding it sounds like you might be losing your baby, im sorry i dont want it to sound harsh, i still had symptoms till the day i went in for my op even tho i knew baby had died.
With the bleeding i had dark brown and pink blood on and off for 2 weeks with both babies i lost, then i turned to bright red and loads of clotS.
I really hope your turns out all ok, and your baby is fine, if you want to chat please message me xxx
this is now my 3rd pregnancy in 8 months and hoping for a sticky bean this time round xx
ideal huni thats fab keep us posted babes xxx
Hi Amuke... Sorry to say this but if your HCG levels are dropping at 7 weeks that is not a good sign... They should def not be dropping at 7 weeks... Later on as you approach / move into the second trimester the rate of increase will slow. I hate to say it but lack of bleeding doesn't mean that the baby is still ok... I didnt have any real bleeding with my miscarriage where they estimate the baby died at about 6 weeks but i ended up having medical treatment at 10 weeks Because i hadnt started bleeding. Also the symptoms will continue for now even if the baby has passed... As you still have residual hormones in your system. I still had symptoms 2 weeks after my medical miscarriage as my HCG was slow to drop afterwards.
as the other ladies have said... I would ask for an internal (trans-vaginal) ultrasound scan which will give you a definite answer as to whether your baby is ok. On an internal scan, a heartbeat can be detected at 4 weeks... So you would definitely know if you should be 7 weeks.
i really wish you the best & hope things are ok for you.... & if they are sadly not... Please remember we are here for you to talk things through. X
Second trimester isint until your 13 to 14 weeks pregnant. I would see a qualified doctor as a student doctor shouldnt really be explaining things with you incase their wrong unless a qualified doctor was sitting in with them.
Take it easy and hope everything turns out to be ok
Amuke... How are you doing? Thinking of you & hope all is well
hi amuke, have you ha your follw up scan yet? hope you are ok hun xxxx
