Chemical Pregnancy Q (slight TMI)

When is it time to call the DR/go to the ER?

 I was due for my period Friday, started spotting like I normally would. Saturday morning, I put in a tampon because I thought I had my normal overnight "pick up" in bleeding. After having the tampon in all day, it was almost completely dry, so I POAS Saturday night. Faint positive line. Started getting cramps, went to bed. Woke up Sunday morning, POAS, another positive, but wiped and there was blood. Put on a pad, bled heavily for about 2 hours, passed a good bit of clotting and solid mass stuff. Then just cramped heavily for about another 3 hours. Felt fine, went back to "normal" period bleeding. Now, today, I have started bleeding somewhat heavily again and passing clots again. Everything I have seen says there isn't much they can do for a chemical pregnancy and it will normally clear itself out without a problem. I haven't been cramping today, just heavier bleeding and passing more "clumps". So when is it time to get worried?

I'm so sorry you are going through this. :(

I had an early m/c (natural) and they told me to go to the ER if I was soaking a pad an hour.

Thanks, that was what I had read, too, but I didn't know if the clots would make it different. It sucks, I had pretty much resigned myself to having "missed" this month's window, since we only just started charting, and was so excited to see the line on Saturday night.

I just had a C/P this past month and unless you are bleeding through a pad an hour like PP said there is no need to go to the ER. I am so sorry you are going through this, it is hard I know. Unfortunately there is nothing they can do at this point, my advice would be to take care of yourself and get some rest.. so sorry for your loss.

Another quick Q. When should I start temping again? Should I just pick up where I left off, or wait til I'm done bleeding?

I am sorry you are going through this. When I had my mc the clinic I normally go to had a nurse line to call if I had questions. All of the people I talked to were very helpful and understanding. You may want to try that if you have any questions It helped me

If the clots are golf ball size or larger they are a concern. Otherwise there is not much else they can do. Sorry you are going through this.

I'm so sorry.

This is exactly what I was told with my early m/c, also natural. I happened to have an OB/GYN appt the day after the bleeding/clotting started and they confirmed for me, but I wouldn't have made an appt specifically for that otherwise. If you call they will likely tell you to go to the ER if soaking a pad an hour as suggested above. No tampons!

Sorry for your loss. I also had a chemical pregnancy and experienced it similarly to you. My bleeding wasn't too heavy, but lasted about 7 days (bleeding then spotting). 

 I would make an appointment or at least try to have a conversation with your doctor for the next steps-whether you can start trying again right away, if she/he wants to see you, etc. 

It's a tough thing to go through-take your time, be kind to yourself, and rest. Hope you're doing ok.

Thanks to everyone for the continued condolences. Is it normal to have to continue to have to urinate frequently? I am guessing it is because my hormones are going to be out of whack for a while. But I haven't drank much today (bad me I know) but still find myself in the bathroom frequently.

I had a c/p back in September, it sucks.  Sorry you're going through that.  I think some clotting is normal.  I wouldn't worry unless you have severe cramping or bleeding.  I definitely cramped/clotted more with my c/p than a typical period, even though everything I read said it should be no different.

I'm so sorry you are going through this.  I know it is no fun, and I'm sorry for your loss. 

I don't know about peeing more - but I would imagine as long as you don't have discomfort or urgency (UTI) you don't have to worry about that. 

You still may want to give your doc a call just for good measure.  ((((hugs))))

It doesn't sound like you should be worried, but I am sorry you are going through this.  I would call your doctor and ask what they recommend.  I had already made my first pre-natal appointment when I had my c/p so I called and told them I think I needed to cancel it because I was bleeding heavily.  Their protocol was to ask me to come in for bloodwork and an u/s to confirm the loss and check to see that the pregnancy was not ectopic or molar.

I think this is normal. My Dr said that it could take up to a month for HCG levels to go away. I just had a C/P last week and I think today is the first day ( almost 6 days later) that I haven't had any "pregnancy symptoms" yet..

I'm very sorry that you are going through this.

 I had a CP this summer. My doctor wanted me to come in for a blood test, to monitor HCG levels. I went in for a test once a week until the levels returned to the non-pregnant range. For me, I am glad that the CP is in my chart, because I think that will be useful information if it happens repeatedly.

I may take you up on that, thank you.

 

I have to give props to my MIL. We have a love-hate relationship that constantly fluctuates because of her bi-polar disorder, and this is one of our "good" periods. I was telling her about it, and she kept trying to convince me that there are women who get a period but are still pregnant. I think she watches too much IDKIWP...  But it was nice for her to try and make me feel better.
