So I think I’m miscarrying..

Cynthia

One day I woke up to use the bathroom, as I wiped I found some pink mucusy discharge. I started panicking and thinking the worst I took myself to the closest urgent care, only to come back home with nothing being done or solved. The doctor from the urgent care just told me to follow up with my primary doctor which luckily I had an appointment with the next day. When I got home from the urgent care, I went to use the restroom again to find it had progressed even further, light bleeding had appeared, my lower back ached and I was feeling some cramps in my pelvis. I knew nothing could be done and tried to put this whole situation in the back of my mind. I continued my day trying to think positively, but couldn’t help but prepare myself for the worst. I laid all my worries to rest, waiting for the next day to come so I could finally get a real answer from my primary doctor. Now it’s the next day, I’m with my primary doctor (the reason I had an appointment in the first place was to get a Pap smear done ✅) I expressed all my symptoms and experiences I was having and told her my concerns. Her first response was “you need to go to the emergency room right now”, which I felt was unnecessary because I wasn’t feeling bad at all. The cramps and bleeding didn’t progress, but after she explained that it’s was necessary just because of risk of infection or an Ectopic pregnancy, I went as I was told. Arriving to the emergency room, most of us have experienced the annoyance of being here in this horrid place. The 100 people in line, waiting around for someone to call you, moving back and forth as your searching for chairs to sit in as you wait again and again, meanwhile being pulled back and forth, not to mention the anxiety and anticipation of wanting to know what’s the hells going on with u. After 5 hours of waiting, doing lab work, blood work, ultrasounds, and even more waiting- I finally talked to the doctor. All she could tell me was I needed to do another hcg level test, to see whether my hcg levels go up or not. She told me that my hcg levels were too low to see anything in the ultrasound, and I needed to comeback in the next two days to hopefully get an answer in whether I’m miscarrying or not. In my head I’m still assuming the worst, I asked the doctor was whether I was pregnant or if I was having a miscarriage. She told me that I am definitely pregnant my hcg levels were 14.6. After a long day, I went home and the cramps and bleeding both progressed, except this time, with blood clots and tissue... I don’t know what to think in this situation. I have had a miscarriage once before, and I feel as though it’s happening all over again. The sense of me still being pregnant is slight. I’m feeling really confused as to why even though the doctor at the emergency room told me I’m definitely still pregnant, I feel like my body is telling me otherwise.
