Help and advice? Detailed and not nice, be warned!!
Hello All
Something very peculiar is happening to me and I just don't know what to think, I just want to hear from someone who has been through something similar to me to make me know whats going on one way or the other.
I would be 7 weeks pregnant tomorrow. Everything has been fine, but last night after hubby got in from being out for a few hours, he called me into the bathroom. There was something in the toilet and as I had been in on my own I can only presume it came from me, although I never felt a thing, there was no bleeding or pain whatsoever and there still isn't.
It was what I can only describe as looking like some kind of sea urchin - spherical, covered in tissue (not toilet tissue!) sort of pinky coloured, just smaller than a 2 pence coin in diameter.
Well I don't know what to think!! If I had had pain or bleeding I would think I had passed the baby but nothing.... last night I felt so sick I was nearly crying but today I feel okay which is another reason for me to think I am not pregnant anymore.
Has anyone heard of anything like this happening to anyone else, I have been on google all day and found nothing like this!

First I just wanted to say how sorry I am you are having this worrying time. I have personally never had bleeding or passed my bean as both my Mc have been missed MC and had to have an op. But I think I have heard of some ladies not having lots of pain, but all that I have heard of have had some form of spotting or bleeding. I would speak to your Dr and get sent for a scan to set your mind at rest. It doesn't necessarily mean you have MC. I hope everything is still going along as normal for you with your bean.

I agree with Lilou. I have not heard of this myself, but if you are worried then best to see the Doc and try to get a scan. Am sure everything is fine though.
Let us know how you get on.
Take care,

My midwife has been out and looked at a photo of the 'thing', she said it does indeed look like a foetus and I am pretty sure she thinks I have miscarried but has never known of someone to miscarry without bleeding. I have to wait a week and get my HCG levels tested. What a horrible week I am going to have.
She also suggested the possiblity that it could have been twins and I have lost one - but surely they don't just fall out?
Love,

Im so sorry that you are going through this and i imagine the waiting is really hard...
My story is that i found out about 9 weeks that my baby had died and was measuring 7+2 - i then opted for medical management (the pessaries made me bleed and cramp and i passed tissue looking clots spherical in shape) i continued to bleed at home but it eased off and i didnt have much pain either and i passed my baby 3 days later at home. Again it wasnt painful and not too much blood considering (i continued to bleed for another 5 days or so but no more than a period...actually lighter than my normal af) but my baby was qute long in shape - more rounded at the top and then thinner at the bottom (it wouldnt have lost its 'tail' by 7 weeks) and it too was covered in a sort of tissue but it was grey/purple in colour and the shape of it (sorry but i cant think of a better way 2 describe it image wise) was more like a penis shape than spherical.
Im sorry that they think this is your baby but i would only have been 2 days ahead of you if your dates are correct (and while i know babies develop pretty quickly) what you described sounds different to what i passed.
This isnt meant to give you false hope or confirm things its just my story of how my baby looked. I think you need to get back onto your hospital and see if you can get a scan sooner than waiting a week thats just horrible. Or cant you go to your gp for bloods that way it would only take a few days to check your Hcg levels?
Im sorry i hope there is some hope for you and that things arent as bad as they seem but if they are then i have found this site a great help in the past few weeks as its a very supportive place givent that sadly everyone knows what the other is oing through...

I have not been through anything like what you are evperiencing. I would go to your GP, and see if they will speed anything up. If they have a hCG level to compare to already that's great, but if you are having the first bloods taken in a week, you would probably be having some more 48 hours later to compare to. Even more waiting.
Fingers crossed for the best outcome. Keep us posted. xx
Lauz I found your reply really helpful, I know it must be hard to go into so much detail but its exactly what I am looking for.
My hubby told his boss at work what had happened (not quite sure why!!) but he said the exact same thing had happened to his wife last year - she passed something which sounds very similar and thought they had lost the baby, but everything turned out okay. I am trying not to get my hopes up.
Thanks again and if anyone else thinks they can help I would love to hear from you.
