Hope you are ok, I would just go straight to the EPU if you can. Try not to panic too much as I had bleeding twice during early pregnancy (8 weeks and 10 weeks) and I know it is very scary but I am now 35 weeks and all is ok. My GP was pretty horrible to me when I went to see him and said pretty much the same as the nurse has to you, but my midwife was fab and said of course I had to know everything was ok and sent me for a scan.
How much bleeding have you had? If you haven't already put a sanitary pad in so you can monitor the bleeding better, sometimes it can seem more than it really is.
Fingers crossed for you.

I would still see if you can get checked out at your EPU if you can mainly to put your mind at rest because I know how scary it can be. But if the bleeding has reduced to spotting and you haven't passed any clots then I would try to stay calm as it is likely that everything is ok.
Let us know how you get on hun.

I had bleeding and really bad pains on right hand side at 9 weeks and went straight to my nearerst A&E as I phoned NHS direct and the nurse was horrid on the phone and left me in a right state so my OH drove me to hospital. They were fantastic and saw me straight away. They gave me a scan, took urine sample and felt my belly.
Everything was absolutely fine with baby, I had a bad water infection and a small hernia (which I still have). They couldn't explain the bleeding but said it is more common than people realise in the early stages of pregnancy. Since then I've had my 12 weeks scan and baby is fine.
Hope this has helped and you get seen by a nice nurse soon!!

I had a lot of bleeding from 5 weeks till 11 weeks, now 13 weeks, in my experience the EPU only scan mon-fri, if you are worried I would go to A&E, I did this and they were great. I can't believe the nurse was horrible to you, when an evil woman, this is the most worrying thing that can happen.
If i was unable to get in for a scan I would often lie down, take it easy, put a pad on to monitor the bleeding. I know it doesn't really help to tell you its so common, as when its happening you are convinced its such a bad sign. The docs were never able to find a cuase for my bleeding, and I also often had period type pains.
I hope it settles down, take care. If you are in any doubt I would go to A&E.

I had constant spotting from 5-9 weeks, then a seperate time at 11 weeks, and it was awful so I do sympathise - can't believe how badly you were treated. They weren't too nice to me either - seemed to act like I was wasting time, it seems that if you're in early pregnancy no-one gives a damn cos of the high mc percentage. But whatever stage you mc...it's still a baby...and it must be a terrible thing to go through.
At one point at 9 weeks or so my bleeding got really heavy with a few clots and period pains. I went to the on-call doctors (it was a sunday) and the doctor basically said what will be will be and nothing can stop you miscarrying (reassuring...) but he did book me for a scan on the tuesday and my baby was doing fine.
From what you've said, it sounds promising...spotting is sooo common there was a survey on here recently and 49% of women had experienced it.
There's no EPU at my hospital but they do usually have them...either way you have the right to a scan!
Good luck. Philippa 17+5 (!!) x x x x
The second time was worse as there was more blood and i was at work so my boss who i confided in found me the number for my local hospital. When i went to ring them i got a snotty receptionist who snapped at me and said this is an emergency number - ring teh main hospital number and basically put the phone down on me!! Got through to my MW and she made me an emergency app. at our main hospital and got an emergency scan after a few hours which was reassuring and all was fine.
I really hope everything is okay with you and baby. I also have had period pain type cramps since first found out i was pregnant up until about 16 weeks.
Good luck
