Having the worst time trying to get a referral to an OB
I took a pregnancy test on the 1st. I swear I saw an almost invisible positive, but chalked it off to wishful thinking. A few days later, I got what I believe was a full on period (on the 4th). Figured for sure I’m not pregnant and go on with my life. Two weeks later, on the 18th and about one week after my period ended ... I start seeing brown discharge when I wipe. I don’t want to panic so I figure I take a test just to make sure I’m not pregnant and about to miscarry. ... BFP!
I have been trying to see an OB since that day. No one will give me a referral or see me without a referral and my primary physician only has appointments til the end of March/beginning of April!
I panic because I am essentially spotting and this feeling is too familiar to the last time I miscarried.
I end up in urgent care just to be safe. They can’t give me a referral, all they can do is test blood and the HCG count comes back at 276.
But I start cramping really bad and I start to see bright red blood. Not a lot. But since then, the spotting hasn’t fully stopped. It’s not heavy like a period and I only see it when I wipe, but I’m still scared. It’s stayed between pink-ish and brownish...
I keep wondering if maybe I already lost my baby and the HCG levels are dropping.
I have seen myself pass any tissue and my breasts are still sore since last week. But idk, I just have to wonder if I can have a miscarriage without actually full on bleeding and passing tissue. Up til now, the most blood I’ve seen is staining my panties, (and that was only during the bad cramping that lasted through the night) but nothing that has required me to wear a pad or anything.
I just need some perspective. I know everyone is different, but has this happened to anyone? Is it possible to have a miscarriage without fully passing tissue? Everything is just so odd right now.
