Is bleeding during pregnancy related to miscarriage?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am female, 20 years old, 5'2", and 99.8 lbs. I am pregnant, but during my ultrasound, there was no embryo or yolk sac. My uterus is seven weeks and three days having 3.1 mm.

Seven days after the ultrasound, I had bleeding, but it was light, the color was dark red, brown, or black, and it was like an intestine, like a tube. I went to my doctor two days after I noticed the bleeding. My doctor said that it was uterine tissue. She did an ultrasound on me again, and the size was 3.3 mm, eight weeks pregnant. Still no yolk sac and embryo.

I still have bleeding after my ultrasound, and it has been three days. Now my blood is reddish, and I have some blood clots that are black or dark red. What to do? Do I have a miscarriage?

Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and can understand your concerns.

It is an embryonic pregnancy, and at 8 weeks, there is still no embryo, no sac, and no blood clot or bleeding. So it is more likely to abort. There could be conservative, medical, and surgical management. In conservative management, you can wait for nature to take a step for miscarriage, and can have a natural process of miscarriage, but you might need medical or surgical management.

Medical management needs to treat with medicine that stimulates cleaning of the uterus, but might need surgery. In surgical management, evacuation is actually done, but might need medical treatment for that. In case of severe bleeding or pain, you need to report to the tertiary care center. Have a healthy diet and daily walk.

I hope it helps.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
