Implantation, Miscarriage or Period?

I started bleeding during lunch today, it was a dry dark brown then bad cramps came after that. Some blood off and on all day. Then I had this mucus came out of me and I’m having fluttery cramps & backache. Early miscarriage?

Really the only way to know if it’s an early miscarriage would be to take a pregnancy test

@Hannah really? 🥴 Sorry you are experiencing this. I don’t agree with Hannah to take a pregnancy test, that will tell you nothing. Get your HCG blood levels checked and if it’s increasing, that’s what you want!

@Nicole I wasn’t trying to be rude or anything it’s what I would do since I’ve been through this myself.

Eh a pregnancy test would be the place to start. If negative, then nothing to worry about. If positive, then get your hCG checked. No reason for you to go spend money on bloodwork if you don’t need to. Sincerely, someone who has been through 2 chemicals, 2 early miscarriages, and a 2nd trimester loss from an SCH (bleeding that started at 8 weeks and lasted for 9 more).

@Elise that’s why I said what I said, I wasn’t trying to be rude and sorry if it came off that way. I’m pretty sleep deprived so I didn’t even think to explain further. I’m sorry you’re going through this and hope it’s nothing serious♥️

Yea there was absolutely nothing wrong with what you said and honestly I didn’t even think it sounded rude. You’re good. As someone who has been through her fair share of bleeding in actual pregnancy, miscarriage bleeding, and just general cycle weirdness…pregnancy tests are always the place to start. Save yourself a trip to the lab by just doing a simple and easy check at home.

Hm hard to tell cos no everyone has implantation bleeding or bleeding before a miscarriage. I had no bleeding at all and miscarriage was only suggested at my first OB appointment and was confirmed by blood tests. My blood tests to check HCG were free.

There’s so many different reasons to bleed in early pregnancy I’d contact you doctor and go from there hope you are ok sorry you are going through this

How many weeks are you? I was 18 weeks when I bled and everything turned out fine

Taking a pregnancy test now will still detect hcg whether she is pregnant or not? What she really needs to know is if her levels are increasing. Sorry you are experiencing this. Like another lady said in this thread - there could be lots of reasons why you are bleeding so best to call your dr and get seen. Peace of mind is priceless, especially in a stressful situation like this.

Implantation bleeding is a drop or two. I would be at the ER or my GP office by now not asking here. Fingers crossed for you 💕

My pregnancy test was positive when I had my miscarriage, if it is a miscarriage they will tell you to test again in two weeks time to make sure it’s negative.

Go directly ER!! Period. I wouldn't ask for advice on here and wondering this.

My implantation bleed was very small and almost like a thick red blob so worth checking

I would do a pregnancy test then go from there . Are you due a period? Do you think u are pregnant? I take it with the question you not sure as you not done a test at all before all this happened ?

I would go and get checked just incase. Good luck and I hope everything goes ok for you 💕

I would get checked the midwife told me if u have an early miscarriage sometimes it can still show pregnant on the test depending how soon after u take it

@Hannah you shouldn’t have to apologize to anyone This is supposed to be a safe space where we all come to help each other ❤️

@Hannah don’t apologise at all we are all meant to support each other

I’d say it’s definitely not implantation. But I’ve had blood like this on my period and never had a miscarriage so it’s definitely worth getting checked out x

Looks like a miscarriage to me, do you have any period like pain or cramps? Best to go check in with a doctor to be sure

@Gabbi how did you go? Did you go to ER or Dr?
