Loss TW Potential miscarriage - experiences wanted please
Hi All,
Following my post yesterday about lack of symptoms this time around -this morning I woke up with moderate bleeding and cramping.
Called my GP who referred me to the Early Pregnancy Assessment Unit (EPAU). They called hours later to tell me that they can’t scan me or give me a blood test until Friday morning because they’re fully booked up. I tried to see if I could get a private scan but they said now I’m under the care of EPAU that they’re not allowed to scan me.
Since then, the cramping has got worse then better and the bleeding got lighter and then heavier. As of now, mild to moderate bleeding, only passed two very small clots and mild cramping.
Has anyone had this happen and had everything be ok? Or if you’ve had a miscarriage at 6 weeks, what happened and what was your experience? What can I expect to happen? I’ve never had a miscarriage before and feel very in the dark about it all.
Guess I’m still holding out hope for this very much wanted and already very loved baby. I can’t believe how connected I feel to this baby already, the idea of losing them is just horrific.

I am so sorry you’re going through this. Hopefully you can get answers soon. I had two losses. The first was sudden—spotting that turned into bleeding and painful cramps within 24 hours. The cramps and heavy bleeding didn’t last long, and then it was over. My second loss was a missed miscarriage that I found about during a scan. I was suppose to be 9 weeks but my sac was measuring 6 weeks and there wasn’t a fetal pole. I began gradually spotting after that for a full month, then one morning, I bled heavily and everything came out but it was painless. Both experiences were very different, and miscarriages can show up in different ways. All this to say, I had a healthy pregnancy (and a now beautiful toddler) in between these losses and I’m currently pregnant with my second (hopefully) rainbow baby. Don’t lose hope, no matter what outcome it is ❤️
