Hi everyone,

I’m 6 weeks pregnant and as some of you know have a history of 6 miscarriages. I had a tiny bit of spotting around week 3 but then had three HCG blood tests and the numbers were great and doubling. Skip to this morning I spoke up to quite a bit of red brown blood blood (not pale and little like before) with very slight achy back and tummy.

Any positive stories to help me get through today?

How are you doing now Corchi? I hope it settled down for you, I understand that fear of seeing blood too well.

[Corchi in reply to Chasing-rainbows]

Thanks for your concern. So far so good - saw a heartbeat so just taking each day as it comes! No blood for last week 🙏🏼

Oh that is great news, so pleased for you Did you try anything different this pregnancy, progesterone or anything?

[Corchi in reply to Chasing-rainbows]

Nothing different then the rest as I had some form of blood with the last one too and I have had 6 miscarriages so always heparin injections daily, 2 x progesterone vaginally and when bleeding was more than spotting a lentogest progesterone injection every 4 days ….

Oh my goodness, it's a stressful time isn't it?! So great that you've seen the little heartbeat and the bleeding has stopped. I was put on progesterone pessaries in my last successful pregnancy but sadly have had recurrent miscarriages since which I wasn't on progesterone for those. So I am hopeful that if the gynae agrees to put me back on next time, I might have a better outcome. Also have thyroid issues though which is complicating things at the moment.

I would say fix your thyroid issue first and then take the pessaries no matter what (dont bother with prog test) and have you looked in to heaprin injections? I have had 6 miscarriages so kind of an expert. Doesnt hurt to ask your doctor? Let me know if i can help with anything x

Thanks that's my plan now I think, starting with the thyroid and then my gynae appointment should be through so hopefully can get a plan in place. Been bottling a lot of it up so its been quite helpful coming onto here and chatting to others and feeling less alone in it all
