Has anyone had a loss at 3-4 weeks pregnant?

Question

On 21st September I found out I was around 3 weeks pregnant. Myself and my partner weren't trying for a baby but also weren't preventing it. It was my first pregnancy and honestly I had a gut feeling from the very start that I was pregnant, as crazy as it sounds from the word go I completely went off mushrooms, they tasted vile which was very strange as I've always loved them. Along with the other symptoms of breast tenderness, bloating, excess wind etc.
​
​I couldn't believe it when I tested positive. I immediately booked myself in to see the doctor the next day and I let my mother, sister and niece know that I was expecting.
​
​As soon as I found out I was pregnant I automatically felt VERY pregnant...it was worrying to me as i was concerned something may go wrong with me not being far along. I felt it was abnormal to feel such distinctive signs so early, I was so bloated!
​
​However, on 24th September after only 3 days of knowing...I started to bleed and lose clots. I was heartbroken, my worst fears were coming true. What is stranger is that morning I felt as if I was going to come on my period, it's the only way I can explain the feeling. When the bleeding started my other half phoned the NHS helpline and they got a doctor to call back, he said there was nothing he could do and that if I experience severe cramping with the bleeding then to go to A&E but that's just it...I didn't get severe cramping so didn't go.
​
​I bled for 6 days which is my normal cycle length but my bleeding was heavier and I had more clots. I hated seeing myself bleed, losing all hope of this child surviving. When the bleeding did stop I stupidly got my hopes up that hey maybe it survived this..however, it didn't.
​
​I have no pregnancy symptoms now and have tested negative twice. The only thing I can think about now is having a baby, it's as if the thought is consuming me and I don't know how to not focus so much on it.
​
​Myself and my partner are now actively trying but I wish we didn't have to try, I wish I was still pregnant. I'm scared incase it's a struggle getting pregnant again.
​
​There are a lot of people out there who have suffered miscarriages and my heart goes out to you all. People don't seem to talk about having a miscarraige so early in pregnancy and I was wondering if anyone out there has been through a similar thing? Feeling quite alone in this and quite selfish for feeling so bad as lots of women have experienced miscarraige a lot later in pregnancy which I can't even begin to imagine how hard that is.

Kristina: you are definitely not alone. My DH and I found out we were pregnant Saturday but Tuesday confirmed we were chemical (early miscarriage) with a lvl of 11miu/ml hcg. I've never had a later miscarriage, but 5 weeks pregnant was enough for me to be nauseated, gassy, have frequent urination and to have an unbelievable connection to our baby. We are devastated. We've been ttc for a year and I just stay awake at night wondering what could have been different. I hope your journey gets better. We deserve our rainbow babies. Good luck!

I had a mmc in July at 8 weeks and I believe I had an early mc a few days ago, chemical pregnancy as they say. I think I was 4 weeks along and really hoped that this time it would be a sticky bean. But I guess not... Going to get a check up soon. I'm just sad. I feel like I'm letting myself and my other half down. But what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. It'll happen when the time's right. :)

Hi hun I found out I was pregnant in August and I had a lot of symptoms of being pregnant from the beginning. Nausea, hightened sense of smell really sore Boob's. I started having severe bleeding and cramps went to the emergency room and they did a hcg blood test confirming my pregnancy they said I was most likely suffering a mc. They had me go back every 2 days to test my hcg levels through blood. They continued to rise anything over a 5 is considered pregnant, well the first day I was a 6 then a 13 then a 25 so on and so on it rose up to 48 which was really odd to my obgyn them they started to decline rapidly and I started bleeding again. And my numbers duped to zero. I was only about 4 weeks along maybe. I was devastated. I have two kids but none the less it was so hard. I started having horrible pain for about two weeks n my ovaries my obgyn went in for exploratory surgery. Come to find out I had so much scar tissue from my csections that my abdomen and uterus are severely attached to one another and my scar tissue and basically formed a web around my ovaries and pinned them back so she freed up my ovaries and other stuff but cannot disconnect my abdomen from my uterus unless she did a hysterectomy. She gives me a year or two before she will do the hysterectomy. She said if I want to get pregnant to start trying right away so I am. And I'm hoping I'm pregnant again I've literally been having sex with my hubby every day not cuz we have to we have fun with it. But AF is due October 20th, I have nausea here and there, horrible headaches, some light cramping and lord I can't stop crying lol. I feel horrible for crying like a baby but I can't help it for some reason

Answer

At 3-4 weeks pregnant, cramping would have been similar to period cramps, since baby was still super tiny. It's called a chemical pregnancy, when you test positive, but never got to see the fetus in an ultrasound because you weren't far enough along. Most people who go through that don't even realize they're pregnant, and think they just had an odd period that month since the miscarriage comes right around the time the period was due.

I'm sorry for your loss, I know it's hard to deal with no matter how far along you were. Mine was 6 and a half weeks when it stopped developing, but I miscarried at what would have been 10 weeks, and it was the worst pain in my life..
