    Bleeding at 6.5 weeks pregnant - scared
    Can anyone help?

    Has anyone had bleeding at 6.5 - 7 weeks pregnant and had a successful outcome.

    I have had 3 previous miscarriages all earlier than I am now. Yesterday I had pink mucousy discharge on wiping after going to the loo and today again orange/brown mucus. Its not much but its definitely there Minimal lower back cramping. I still feel sick and off my food.I have had a scan already as I have miscarried before and it put me at 6 weeks last week and I saw a heartbeat.

    Please share similar experiences. I feel so low. I am getting another scan next week.

    NowWhat
    Well, when I was 7 weeks along I started spotting brown discharge. I called my dr. and was told it was okay because it was just old blood but, they would get me in the next day for an ultrasound just to make sure everything was fine. Later that evening, I started bleeding bright red. Of course, I was scared to death. Called the dr. on call and he told me that if I was going to miscarry, there was nothing he could do - it was just nature taking it's course. (believe me, that didn't help)
    By morning, the bleeding had stopped. I went in for my ultrasound, so scared, and I got to see my "peanut" with a heartbeat.

    I was told that the bleeding was probably from having sex. I guess when you are pregnant, everything swells. We did not properly lubricate and broke some blood vessels.
    We were put on "restriction" until I made it to the 2nd trimester.

    Seven years later, I have a beautiful little girl. I consider it a success!
    Hope this helps.

    Well,

    I have continued to have light brown discharge since I last wrote
    I still feel a bit sick but don't need to pee over night anymore.
    I am pretty sure I have miscarried but have to wait until Friday to find out.
    Feel so sad. We have decided that we can't facew going through this anymore and are going to stop trying for baby number too. Its too heartbreaking to keep losing all these babies.

    It may not be a miscarriage so don't lose hope yet. I had to go to the hospital at about 8 weeks with ehavy bleeding and I found out that I had a very severe yeast infection that was simply from the hormone change of being pregnant. They gave me a treatment and I stopped bleeding. I am sorry that you have to wait till Friday I would be in the ER raising h*ll till someone told me my baby was OK. Oh wait that's exactly what I did!
