I'm very sorry to hear you lost your baby. I lost mine during the same time period as you. I had light spotting for a couple days..just pink at first. Then the spotting got a little heavier and it was pink and brown. On Tuesday June 2, I started having bright red blood, but not much and some very light cramping. I was scared so I went home and laid down, thinking maybe I was just working too hard. On Wednesday June 3, I stayed in bed all day and slept. I woke up in the afternoon with worse cramps and when I went to the bathroom there was a lot of blood. I drove myself to the ER and asked a friend if she could drive down there and sit with me. She brought two more of my friends with her. The doctor asked me how bad my cramping was and how much blood there was. I told him I wasn't soaking any pads but it was bright red and I just knew I lost the baby. He was very rude and ordered a pregnancy test to see if I was even pregnant (even though I had the EDD paper from planned parenthood from when they did a pregnancy test). I waited for over an hour just to get that test back. It was still positive. He then told me he didn't think I was losing the baby but I told him I KNEW I was and I needed to know what my hCG levels were. He finally ordered the blood tests and I had to wait over 5 hours in the room for the results. My friends kept coming to visit me but nobody knew what to say because the doctor was so rude and I was so upset. I was getting ready to give up and go home when they finally brought the results in. He said my levels were only 425 and they should have been much higher because I was between 6 and 8 weeks pregnant. He decided not to order an ultrasound as well but he finally told me that I was "probably" going to lose the baby. One of my friends came home with me that night and we just watched movies and she tried to keep me from getting depressed. I kept bleeding all through the night and into Thursday June 4. I hadn't passed any tissues yet so the cramps got worse and worse and the bleeding got heaver. I took a shower and that's when I passed the sack and some smaller tissues. I couldn't stand to look at it because I knew my baby was there. After that the bleeding slowed down and over the next two days I passed smaller pieces tissue and clots and after a week and a half of bleeding it finally stopped. It took me almost two weeks after for it to really hit me that I wasn't pregnant anymore and I cried and I am still so upset about it. It's the hardest thing and I kept saying "why me?" and still do. It's been almost 4 weeks now since we lost our babies and it still hurts so badly. If you want or need to talk to me in private just say so and I will give you my email. May God protect us both and heal our broken hearts. May He bless us both with bundles of joy in the near future.
