On the 13th (5w 1d), I started bleeding and passed tissue. I stopped even spotting a couple of days ago. The thing is, I FEEL pregnant, and I never have after my other chemical pregnancies. I have had periods of nausea (not too bad, but I never feel nauseated when I'm not pregnant) and my boobs are VERY tender. In fact, I'm having a stinging feeling right now. None of this is normal for me. Now, I know that it's possible everything didn't pass. I'm trying not to have false hope, but I do know it's possible to pass a twin or to just bleed like a heavy period and go on to have a healthy pregnancy. I just feel pregnant. I called my OB's office and a nurse is going to call me back.
Anyway, has this ever happened to any of you?

jcc64 replied: I had a chemical pg, and the only real symptom I remember is bleeding, lots and lots of bleeding. In fact, I didn't even know I was pg--I thought I had cancer or something terrible like that. The dr did a blood test, and he's the one that told me I was pg. I don't remember any of the stuff that you're talking about, but that doesn't mean anything, really. When your hormones are all over the place, anything's possible. Check with your dr.

coasterqueen replied: Me. I found out very early on, as soon as I missed period that I was pg with Megan. Literally the day after I found out I was pg I started bleeding and quite a bit. I called the doc, she got me in, did the HcG tests for awhile, had sono, told this may not be a real pg, etc, etc......and HERE SHE IS almost 5 years later. I had "uterine issues" causing me to bleed almost my entire pg. I worried 24/7 the entire time afraid I'd lose her. They put me on progesterone very early in the pg as well. I was also on bed rest on and off most of the pg, and she came a month early.

It's possible........

PrairieMom replied: It happened to my SIL. Actually, they told her she miscarried. After a few weeks she was still bleeding and they kept telling her that it was ok, she was still miscarrying . Finally after about a month they did a US and found my Niece, just hanging out, happy as can be.

coasterqueen replied:
This is why I'm more for naturally miscarrying over DNC if possible. You never know........

Danalana replied: Still waiting for the nurse to call...

A&A'smommy replied: did you ever hear back?

ZandersMama replied: yes, it kind of happened to me with Zander. I was actually told in the emergency room during a pelvic exam that I was misscarrying. Went for an ultrasound later to be sure everything had passed, and that it wasn't tubal, and Zan was there healthy and strong. Everyone was shocked.Turned out I was miscarrying, but it was a twin pregnancy.

Danalana replied: I did hear back...tomorrow, I'm going for blood work.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Wow, Dana... kup! I hope it goes well tomorrow.

Sam & Abby's Mom replied:
yah, but they would always do an ultrasound before the D&C -- just to make sure.

coasterqueen replied:
Depends on when they do the ultrasound. When I started bleeding and went straight in for an internal ultrasound they found nothing and said it was pretty likely that I was/have miscarried, so then they decided to keep doing blood work to look at how HcG levels were doing. My doc and I chose to wait and see.......she was ready to do a DNC when she saw the sono, but we decided to wait. Some docs won't. Believe me, I was there and it was nerve wracking and very hard to wonder if you were or were not pg, being totally scared every time you went to the restroom and saw you were bleeding (passing clots), still trying to hold on to the hope of being pg. But I did it and my patience and hope kept me from assuming it was a miscarry and doing the DNC and now I have a beautiful almost 5 year old baby girl to prove it.

Our Lil' Family replied: I had bleeding during this pg but it wasn't until 8 weeks (and again at 14 wks).

I pray that it was just your body working through some things and getting ready to keep that baby safe and secure!!!
