Long post and possible TW. Just need to vent and see if anyone else has any advice or has experienced anything like this.
Per my last period, I should be 6+6 today. This is my second pregnancy (my son is 2.5 years). About 5 days ago, I started spotting pink. I started to also have some period like cramps. 3 days ago it started to get darker and I had stringy things or very small clots. My doctor wasn’t responding to me so I had a private ultrasound done. They measured the gestational sack at 6+5 (I would’ve been 6+3 this day so perfect).
2 days ago it was steadily red and had small clots. Nothing bigger than a nickle but typically not that big. It also wasn’t filling up even a panty liner per hour. But of course I was freaking out so we went to the ER. They did a scan and all that they told me was that they could see the gestational sack but that it was sitting lower than typical. The dr wanted me to reach out to my OB to schedule a follow up since he wasn’t a professional in that field.
My OB’s nurse didn’t reach out to me until yesterday evening and said, per my OB, they wouldn’t change my appt so I won’t be going in until June 14th. And that “I should be 7-8 weeks at that appt” and the OB also didn’t tell the nurse whether everything looked okay or not either.
SO… obviously I shouldn’t be 7-8 weeks in a month when I’ll be 7 weeks tomorrow. I’m extremely confused, anxious, scared. There’s only one medical group in my town so no other doctors will see me as they “can’t steal patients”. No doctors in surrounding towns have availability much sooner than June either.
I’m still bleeding (still doesn’t fill a panty liner within an hour) and passing small clots occasionally. But I haven’t had any cramps since I went to the ER. I know there’s possibilities of women bleeding throughout the first trimester and everything being okay. So I’m trying to stay positive. But I want outside advice and outlooks also.
Given all of this info… could everything still be okay with my baby?? Does it seem like I’m miscarrying?
