Hello, this is my first pregnancy. I’m around 8-9weeks pregnant. I started bleeding at 7. Last week on 10/04. At first it was a light and I’ll add some pictures for you guys to see. I then started to cramp and I was thinking maybe it was just the baby growing and my body stretching. It got worse every day from there. I had went to the hospital on 10/07 and I’ll post the results for everyone to see those as well. My hcg levels came back at 1,053. I was sure it was a miscarriage but they said my levels were still a bit high. They sent me home without giving me a simple answer after all of the tests I had done.
I was wondering if this could be a possible miscarriage? Could it be a period? My periods I always have super heavy and large clots due to endometriosis but I’m just so unsure. I’m not sure how many pictures I can post or if I can comment them so I’ll post how it first started

Hey hun. I had the same experience as you with the pregnancy and the same one at the hospital. It was my first pregnancy. They did all the tests and asked for urine samples etc and sent me home after telling me it was just a late period but I knew I was losing it. The light bleeding was the same before getting heavier and then I passed the same exact thing you did in your last pic. After that my hcg levels went down straight away. It was a miscarriage and i straight away complained to PALS.. any doctor in their right mind would see I was miscarrying.. 5 positive tests can’t be wrong and i had confirmation from my own doctor that I was pregnant long before I went to hospital. Im still recovering but im scared incase I have another miscarriage although I really wanted the baby I lost 😢😔 most traumatic thing I’ve ever been through!!!
Yes darling I was.. I was also really in pain. I mean worse than a period.. this was awful and nothing was relieving it. All I was doing was crying.. I felt empty.. also I couldn’t sleep without seeing flashbacks of what I saw on the tissue that literally fell out of me 😢 I felt like I was in a nightmare that I couldn’t wake from!! It’s been a few months since but I still think of it and get upset… I was then really hormonal and angry and wouldn’t let my partner come near me in any way! It’s caused a lot of issues for us and I’m still not myself now and all I want is my baby 😩😢 x
I would call your early pregnancy unit and asked to be checked out, they can do a scan and check your levels again. No one on here will be able to confirm if you've just had a bleed which are pretty common in pregnancy or if you've had a miscarriage.
Morning a similar thing happened to me last year, I was bleeding lightly and went to the hospital but because my HCG levels were still high they couldn’t confirm if it was a miscarriage. They couldn’t find a heart beat though and at 8/9 weeks they should be able to find one. They told me to go back after 2 days for another blood test, as HCG levels should double every couple of days. So if mine dropped they could confirm. Sadly the day after that I had a miscarriage. The bleeding suddenly became very heavy and I had pains in my lower back so I knew for sure I was miscarrying, I didn’t bother going back because I knew what was happening.
Did the hospital ask you to go back? If they suspect a miscarriage then you should go back after a few days and they’ll be able to tell by your HCG levels. In early pregnancy they should double every couple of days, if they’ve dropped then that would indicate a miscarriage.
If you’re unsure or concerned contact your midwife / doctors.
If the blood is a light pinky colour it's usually fine. I had that with my first and it stopped within a couple of hours. I was about 6 weeks along at that point. It's something to do with the blood vessels in the womb bleeding as the pregnancy attaches itself to the lining of the uterus If it's bright red then I would go and get seen right away as that is usually a miscarriage. I would go back as no one can tell you what it is unless you get checked over. I hope it all turns out OK for
