Oh hun I really hope it isnt a mc. My friend had bleeding until she was about 20 odd weeks and she now has a healthy 3 month old.
Can you get to your local EPU today and ask if you can have a scan? I wouldnt want to wait all weekend not knowing xxx _________________

well im so angry right now, ive just had a call from the EPU and the first appointment they have available isnt untill wednesday. I cant believe they expect me to wait that long. I have left a message for my doctor to ring the other hospital thats a bit further away to see if they can get me in any earlier. xxx _________________

That is awful. Is there nowhere you can go and just demand to be seen. I'd hate to have to wait over the weekend, and it wouldn't be healthy for you to worry so much. How are you feeling now?

I just have no idea what to do. Im going to get some pg tests tomorrow, i no there not reliable but they might give me some insight as to whats going on. There isnt alot of blood still, its only been after ive been for a poo but there was 2 tiny clots in it and ive been 3 times today. My body must be having a clear out like last time as i rarely go everyday most of the time.
The only other thing i can do is go to a+e and wait around there all night but they wont scan me if the pg test is negative they will just do a blood test x _________________

When I had bleeding at 9 weeks I rang NHS direct (at 9pm) and they booked me an emergency appt for the next day. Could you try and see if they will get you one?
I have my FX for you.

Pfft! Sounds like it depends on who you manage to talk to and what they will do for you. Sorry it was of no help

Aww, I'm sorry to hear your going through this are you still suffering with the back ache?
Its really awful when they make you wait to long. When I had my mc i'd done a digi tst that morning and it said 2-3wks I started bleeding about an hr later (real heavy) and got app for nurse that aft and she tested and said it was neg...which is tosh
That was the tues/wed..I mc'ed my baby on the saturday morning and that morning at epu the test was still picking the hcg hormone...she said to test after 10 days and see what the result was then.
My point is a pg test will prove nothing right now either way.
Rest up as much as poss and seriously keep your fluids up. A friend had bleeding in early pregnancy and after research she found that dehydration can cause bleeding too. After changing her drinking habits the bleeding stopped xxx _________________

It sounds positive hun. Don't buy a test and worry yourself. Just try and relax over the weekend.
