(Detailed question) So don't read if you don't wanna help?

I have a kid so I know what being pregnant is like and all the syptoms. But I don't know what a miscarrage is like. Anyways,...So, I haven't had my period in 1 month and I had just noticed today that I had like two small drops of blood. Well, the next time I went to the bathroom hours later(cause I forgot about it) I had discharge there (and I hope all you women know what discharge is). But it wasn't clear gel discharge. It looked like a plug like when you are pregnant and you lose your plug before you have the baby. But only it was like a brown color with the clear charge around it. Is this a sign of a miscarrage? Or something else? And it doesn't hurt or cramp or anything also. (P.S. Sorry for the details but it really has me worried. I just wanted some advice before I go to a Doctor)

Answers:
I have had two miscarriages. I lost first baby at 14 weeks. I had spotting at 7 weeks. Ultrasound showed everything was fine. I experienced some slight cramping, no different to normal cramping. I started to have spotting and discharge at 14 weeks again. Discharge was brown in colour, like old blood. Ultrasound showed I had lost baby probably a couple of weeks before, but had not passed it. I had to have a curette. Second miscarriage I had at seven weeks. Again not a lot of pain, no more blood than a normal period. This time I actually passed embryo, was actually able to identify it. If you are pregnant, your early and from my experience you wont feel a lot of pain. A pregnancy test will show negative if you have lost the baby and your hormone levels have dropped. Please see your doctor, an ultrasound will confirm if you are pregnant and whether baby is ok. Blood test will also be able to test your hormone levels. I fell pregnant 2 weeks after the second miscarriage without even having a period. My last pregnancy I woke up at nine weeks, felt like I had wet myself. It was blood. Thought I was going to lose another one. I had discharge and spotting till about 14 weeks. Thank god, he was fine. He is three now. Good luck, I hope everything is fine.

I've had a miscarriage but it was painful.I think the further along you are the more painful it is.Not really sure what is going with you but do go to a doctor.

Go to a doctor. I don't think you should be looking for solid answers on venue. Please take this seriously. i had a miscarriage and it is a awful thing to go through. I was so tired, weak, bleeding (no clots, light, red-brown blood) and i didn't even know i was pregnant (4-5 weeks). I thought maybe i was having another period but i went to the er and i was pregnant but when they done an ultrasound on me there was nothing in my uterus i had done miscarried.

A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks and it is nature's way of ending a pregnancy that is not developing normally. The length of the pregnancy will effect the number and severity of miscarriage symptoms.

A miscarriage that takes place shortly after conception can occur as a slightly late, slightly heavy period. Symptoms can vary from person to person, but there are common ones that generally occur:

Bleeding. This can range from brownish spotting to heavy bleeding. It is important to note that many women experience spotting or bleeding during pregnancy and about 50% of the time, the pregnancy progresses normally.
Pain or cramping in the lower abdominal area. The pain could be on just one side, both sides, or in the middle. You may also experience pain in the genitals, lower back, thighs, or buttocks.
You may notice that pregnancy symptoms like nausea and breast tenderness have subsided or lessoned. Be aware that some women do not notice any change in these symptoms, while others do.
Some women say that didn't "feel right" just prior to their symptoms.
If you are pregnant and experiencing symptoms you should contact your health care provider. If any of the following symptoms occur you should go the Emergency Room immediately:

Heavy bleeding
Passing clots or something that looks like tissue (bring the tissue to the hospital in a clean container)
A fever higher than 100.4 degrees F
Dizziness or fainting
A history of tubal (or ectopic) pregnancy
Severe vomiting
Severe pain the abdomen or back
Now some say that they don't even know they had one because it was so early and felt like a normal period. Others can tell the difference. Here are a few and still adding…

- Sever sharp uterine cramps (stronger than menses cramps)

- Heavy Red bleeding along with pink stretchy tissue (NOT cervical mucus)

- Cervix pain (pulsing and aching pain with a few sharp pains)

- Sever headaches (migraine types) *Also due to other issues

- Nausea *Also due to pregnancy or bad food

- Pregnancy symptoms (i.e. Brest tenderness, nausea) will start to fade.

If you have any uncertainty about the need to contact your health care provider, call him or her immediately.

Good luck to you

P.S. Take a pregnancy test or please don't wait like i did go to the ER.

My story

it may have been and it may have not. not all fluids have to stop being discharged from your body during pregnancy (though it didn't happen the first time around), but then again you could have not been pregnant to begin with and you just have some sort of problem, of course theres always the chance that you did miss-carry, though i think you are supposed to start bleeding. anyway you shouldn't stress over it, sounds like nothing out of the ordinary. I wouldn't wait for advice. see your doctor asap.

see a dr... that the only way to find out..

my miscarrage was alot of pain in the belly

I had a miscarriage at 12 wks. I honestly can't tell you what it looks like because the doctor had already told I was going to miscarry so I didn't look.I didn't have any pain but I did bleed alot,so much that I passed out.I do know that if you are pregnant and miscarry the prenancy test will show negative.I hope this helps.Good Luck and God Bless. I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. I started to spot and went to the doc and they did an internal ultrasound and found no heartbeat. The next day I had a D & C. So, I did not have any pain associated with the miscarriage. And, just some brownish-red spotting. It wasn't even that much.
I would call your doctor just to make sure.

hCG Level Information
Human Chorionic Ganadotropin (hCG) is only produced during pregnancy. It is the hormone that home pregnancy tests look for as well as blood tests at the doctor. It is produced when the fertilized egg implants in the uterus.

An hCG blood test at the doctor can detect a pregnancy between 8 and 10 days after fertilization. Any level over 5 is considered "pregnant." Keep in mind, however, that the normal miscarriage rate is very high at this point, still over 30%. Home pregnancy tests typically require 14 days, when your period would normally be due. The level for these tests ranges between 50 and 80. By this point, the normal miscarriage rate is down to 10% since the baby is clearly well implanted and churning out proper hormones.

The rate of hCG should usually double every 2-3 days. Keep in mind that if you have been given hCG shots as fertility treatment, it will throw off your reading and could even give you a false positive.

The numbers in the chart below are only a guideline, and are so broad as to be almost useless. They are here to give you a small measure of reassurance, although the only true way to know if your hCG level is rising appropriately is to take two tests about three days apart. The reason for the large range in the chart is to assume you may be as much as 7 days off on your ovulation, and to allow for larger numbers for pregnancies with more than one baby. In my own experience and with those women who have shared their numbers on the bulletin board, if you are rock-sure of your ovulation date, your number tends to be about 2/3 of the highest number for your week.

Week since last menstrual period began
Amount of hCG
in mIU/ml

3
5 - 50 (less than 5 means you are not pregnant)

4
5 - 426

5
19 - 7,340

6
1,080 - 56,500

7-8
7,650 - 229,000

9-12*
25,700 - 288,000

*You will likely see the hCG rates go DOWN after the first trimester, when it is no longer a factor in pregnancy or miscarriage because the placenta has taken over. At 9 weeks, however, your baby will be monitored by ultrasound rather than hCG levels.

Slow-rising hCG. Unfortunately, even if your levels are rising, the failure to double every few days is not a good sign. This type of pregnancy can go on for several weeks, but will almost always end in miscarriage. A single set of tests that do not show a doubling can still be fine. Usually another set will be ordered if you are low or borderline.

http://www.pregnancyloss.info/hcg_levels.htm You may have had either a miscarriage or am eptopic (tubal) pregnancy. I've had both.

My first miscarrage didnt hurt ( I was bleeding for two weeks before I knew what was going on), but the second one almost killed me! I felt really weak.

My epotpic pregnancy, I didnt feel much pain. I had a lot of spotting over the course of about a week, which made me think it was another miscarrage.

you should go in the your OB's office and have them give you a blood pre. test and have them monitor your Beta hCG level.
