M/C Question, anyone help? TMI maybe!!!

Hi there

Im hoping somebody may be able to help me here.
Ok, I have been having unmedicated monthly periods now for 6 or so months, suddenly out of the blue they have started, very weird.
Anyway, this month I am about a week or so early (have never been early in my WHOLE life) and I suddenly started to get kinda heavy, then earlier on, when I wiped, there was all of this fleshy stuff, it is like scrapings of skin, very thin scrapings of light fleshy material.
Yuck I know but after that happened I came on real heavy, then lightened off, had some more of this stuff and then went heavy again.
Im just curious on what it could be...could it be a bit of ovary material after an egg finally managed to get out of it, could it be a very early pregnancy that Ive lost...could it be...well...I dont know what else.
Can anyone help me?

Thank you in advance xxx

I can't say I know what that is. You said you were a week early?? So for it to be a m/c, you'd have to have gotten PG/O in the first week of your cycle. I'd lean towards it NOT being a m/c, but I really am no expert.

Have your AF's been normal (not too light) lately? I was thinking if your last AF was real light, maybe it wasn't AF and you got PG last cycle???

When I've m/c, it's been lots and lots of clots and TONS of back pain. The worst AF X 10.

HTH,

I have had the same symptoms myself before. When my cycles did that, it was because my fibroid tumors (non-cancerous tumors in the uterus) had been growing some, and it was making the tissue come out weird.

I have had 2 "known" miscarriages. My first miscarriage died about 6 weeks. I basically had started spotting, had some light cramping, and then my period started.

This pregnancy was multiples, I had a VERY high HCG count, so they knew it was at least twins.

2 weeks after the miscarriage, I started passing LOTS of gross stuff. If you need to know further about that, feel free to message me, I don't want to gross out the board. LOL

My second "known" miscarriage died at 10 weeks. I started having what I assume are contractions and horrendous pain in my back. I started spotting, and then my period started 2 months later.

That pregnancy, I saw my baby on the ultrasound, but no heartbeat. The doctor kept trying to say perhaps with my weight, it was too soon to see the heartbeat, but I could see the veins pumping in my uterus on the U/S, so I knew then my baby was dead.

The 2 "suspected" miscarriages did the exact same thing as the 2 that I knew for sure I was pregnant. I just say suspected, because I took home tests that said negative, but couldn't get to a doctor in time for a blood test. (BTW: I've NEVER shown positive on any home test until I got to 10 weeks with the 2nd pregnancy).

thank you
Thank you for your replies, they are much appreciated.
I seem to be coming off now so if this stuff still keeps coming Ill go to see my doctor.

In reply...my periods are just average periods now, one or two quite heavy days and then it is about average I think, with the last few days being lighter and lighter.

I was concerned because I have NEVER been early for a period and from the age of around 14 my periods became scanty and then stopped completely by the age of 18, I would have one a year if I was very lucky.
I started having them when we were trying to conceive actively but then nothing if I was unmedicated but now they have suddenly became 'normal'...as in every 29-32 days I get a period, I havent lost a considerable amount of weight recently, in fact, the periods returned whilst I was at my very fattest so Im puzzled on why theyve returned and then when it arrived a whole week early....a lifetime first for me....I was puzzled, then this stuff started to come, one minute Im sooooooo light and then sooooooooooooooo heavy and then this stuff appears.
Right now though I think Im about to finish this period and will head straight to the doctor if this fleshy stuff keeps coming.

Thank you ever so much for your help xx

You'll want to go to your doctor no matter what. I've had 2 mc's, and they were incredibly painful. The first one I had cramping so bad I could hardly walk, and the second one I had actual contractions. But I know it differs greatly woman to woman, do to different body types and length of the pregnancy.

I THINK I had a miscarriage before.
I was convinced that I was pregnant and then one day I was doubled over in agony, I was crying and bled, not alot, but some, I used the bathroom the next day and the pain seemed to stop as this fleshy stuff dropped into the toilet, Im all but certain I was pregnant at that poing, Id have been around 5-6 weeks along.
I never did go to the doctors etc as I seemed to be ok.

Steph,

I noticed in your sig that you say "finally not TTC, happy with hubby and me".

Honey, have you considered adoption a precious little guy or girl that needs a mommy and daddy now?

I'm starting this process, as I realized that the reason I was TTC was to have a family, so now, I get to bypass the heartache of TTC and skip straight into the good stuff

Hi there

We cannot adopt, we were very close to going for it and then a person in our lives made a very stupid mistake which directly affects the family, as it was a sexual issue they are not allowed around certain people and my cousin has adopted and said that they look into every aspect of your life, so Im doubting that they would be very handing a child to people that have certain people in their lives.
The fact of the matter at the moment is also that we are broke so a child of any nature simply isnt possible.
I once thought that to be a mother was the be all and end all of my existance but Im now of the opinion that it was always just going to be a nice added extra.
Maybe in the future we will go down the avenues of further treatments, maybe even look into whether we could actually adopt but for now we are very happy as just us.
All the very best in your quest though, you know what they say, not all destined babies are grown in your own womb, but they do grow in your heart...something like that :o)
