sensitive / period cramps/back pain

[MariannaB]

I am 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I have lots of cramps and back pain . I did had a bleed at 4 weeks and spotting for 3 days more after. I am really concerned about this pain / cramps as is feeling like I will start bleeding again. Did anyone had like constant pain and everything was ok ? Hopefully will have the scan next week . I did had last year a missed miscarriage and I can not stop comparing the symptoms. Back then I was bleeding/spotting brown and having cramps from week 4 .

I’m so sorry that must be so stressful! I have had lots of bleeding after a BFP twice once was a miscarriage but once was a hematoma that was causing it and whilst it meant a higher risk of miscarriage we stayed pregnant that time. There’s lots of reasons for bleeding early and they don’t all mean miscarriage and it seems to be more common from IVF. If you are having bad pains though along with the bleeding I would probably push for an earlier scan or visit the EPU or even ask for repeat HcG ? I did have some pains and cramps with the hematoma as I was passing clots but I don’t know if I would describe them as ‘bad’ but like I said that’s in comparison to the really bad cramps from the earlier miscarriage or some horrendous periods over the years so it’s all relative. Thinking of you and hope everything is okay 💜 xx

thank you so much , I did had another bleed last night, is so scary and I am at this point waiting for the worse to happen. I will book today for a scan on Monday and see what is going on. I will be 6 weeks and 2 days so hopefully will get some answers. I feel hopeless 😞 like all the miscarriage story is repeating and I can not do nothing to stop it .

it defo does feel like we are not in control and the waiting is the worst part! but remember no matter what is happening it’s absolutely nothing you have done or can control which is of course the hard part but we can still beat ourselves up can’t we! Rest up lively and I am hoping so much for a positive outcome for you xxx 💕

Called the early pregnancy unit yesterday, they will call me back today and book me for a scan . At least we will know what is happening, I am still cramping and light bleeding 🩸.
