Positive!!! but heavy bleeding

[sandra84]

Hi all,

I am so happy, today was my test day and it came back positive!!

I had already dismissed that I would be pregnant due to heavy bleeding. I had a laparoscopic egg collection and cyst drainage, due to Stage 4 endometriosis with extensive scare tissue that make my uterus and ovaries stuck to my bowels. I had a two (they only collect 2, so they used ICSI) day3 embryo transfers on the 16 october, the day after I got a fever which I had for 7 days (had to start on my 4 antibiotics since after the surgery) and on the 24 october (1 week after ET) I started bleeding heavily. I bleed heavily for 4 days (with so severe cramping that I walked with crutches, probably due to my endometriosis), now I am on day 6 of bleeding and today and yesterday have been more like spotting.

Called my IVF clinic and I am scheduled to come in on friday for a bhcg test as they are concerned that I bleed so heavily. When I talked to them 3 days ago they did say that some women can bleed heavily for a couple of days, but I am still nervous.

This is our only chance, we only got one IVF try due to my type of endometriosis and if this doesn't work out I am having a hysterectomy.

crossing my fingers and hopping that these little embryos are doing fine, despite the heavy bleeding, the fever and all of the antibiotics. Have any of you had heavy bleeding this early in a pregnancy but still been fine?

Hunni I'm so sorry to hear that you have bleed.. It's very scary to do that in pregnancy.. I can give you some hope however..I bleed very heavily when I was 7 weeks pregnant with my son.. The midwife called it a threatened miscarriage and told me to prepare myself..went to the scan and expected not to see a baby heart beat..was pleasantly surprised when I saw he was ok just celebrated his 16th birthday over the weekend some women do bleed and still have healthy babies please don't give up hope sending lots of love your way and hope that you're like me you bleed but babies fine

Good luck..

Jess

Hi. Unfortunately I don't personally know many people that have gone through ivf but I have read lots of comments from people on the internet that have bled and stil had a positive test result that was fine. U sound like uv had a really tough time of it. It makes me feel bad for feeling sorry myself. U should b incredibly proud of urself for getting this far in one piece and staying positive-ur doing everything u can at the mo for ur little embryo so il wil keep my fingers crossed that all goes well. Wishing u lots and lots of luck-il b thinking of u xxx

Hi Sandra, firstly congratulations for your positive result this is really wonderful news. I had spotting the day before my testing and i thought is over so i can imagine how stressful would be to see bleeding. Did your hospital offer you pogrestore injections as mine offer me straight away instead of vaginal one but as my spotting stop we did not take the injections. I hope everything works well for you, take a good rest. When is your first scan? Take care xxx

Congratulations- to you both. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Just read your story and you're having such a tough time. Really hoping it works out for you. Hang on in there Xxxxx

Hi Sandra - congratulations on the positive, that really is an achievement. I have too read some stories of bleeds with positive results. I have stage 4 Endo too, large ovarian cysts and I really don't hold out much hope for me. I have so much pain. I am on my first round of IVF and have lots of adherent organs like you. I have been given a max 10% chance of it working, as I am approaching 40 and also have a low AMH.

Keep us informed of your progress, but I will really happy to read this news.

Plz share your contact no. I am also suffering this kind of problem.

[Zexcellent]

Omg! Congratulations!!! I'm in same exact boat, only that I don't have endometriosis and all that stuff. On my 5th day I started lightly spotting thick brown stuff by the 7th day it became bright and heavy I'm yet to reach OPT day. But I'm being positive that I'll be like you and get a BFP

[Mimisnow in reply to Talwinder]

Hi Talwinder, can you please update us?

[Taylor424 in reply to Talwinder]

I have already tested positive but last night I had heavy bleeding and blot clots I’m trying not stress but it’s so hard I went to the e r they were not much help but she did tell me my hcg was still up so I go back Saturday morning to retest my hcg levels and do another ultrasound I’m praying everything is going to be ok

[Taylor424 in reply to Talwinder]

Hi sandra,

Congrats on your positive result!

I too am two days away from test day and have started bleeding. Though the bleed is light, I have the cramps similiar to period so I am really worried. I've been crying all day and just have lost all hope.

The blood isnt heavy and initially I only saw it when using the vaginal pessery, but it was light in colour and a little heavier than the usual spotting type. The thing that worries me is I would ussually be starting my period today so it's just heartbreaking that it might actually be my period.

Anyone have any positive stories to share of a situation like this that still came out positive result?

Hi my test day is tomorrow and I started spotting the day before yesterday and then last night am sure that period is here, no clots but cramps and red blood 😢 I’m gutted! Have you done your test? Xx

[Sadiabegum in reply to Asts]

Hey hun,

I had my BETA HCG test 4 days ago and got a positive result. Done the blood test to be sure and it also came back 440 HCG levels which means I am pregnant. (Allahumma barik)

I thought I was getting my period when I was bleeding as the blood was fresh red type blood on the 2nd day and I felt cramps. I am.using the vaginal pessaries which potentially caused the bleeding of red blood. Is the blood like your normal period?

I am praying for you to have good news on your test day! How much longer do you have till D day?

[Asts in reply to Sadiabegum]

Congratulations on your positive! My test day is tomorrow but bleeding is quite a bit now and I think that’s it for this cycle! It’s such a rollercoaster isn’t it- I feel so down and so stupid for thinking it was my turn! X

[Sadiabegum in reply to Asts]

I am so sorry you're feeling so down. I know the exact feeling. My fertility clinic said if the bleeding was like a regular period than its worrying. But if it's less than the normal period than its should be nothing. Try and rest today and most importantly try not to look it up online as alot of negative reading can make you even more stressed and who knows you might actually be pregnant. I honestly felt like I was on my period, specially with the cramps. Sometimes our body fools us. I am hoping to hear good news from you tomorrow 💛

[Asts in reply to Sadiabegum]

Thank you for your kind words. It’s so hard not knowing anyone going through the same and my bf tries to make me feel better saying “don’t worry we’ll just try again” we have three in the freezer which I know is a positive thing but it doesn’t help how you feel right now. Feeling so lonely atm so thank you for taking time to reply xx

[MyersMom1518 in reply to Asts]

Do you end up with a bfp? I am going through this now. Crimson blood like active bleeding, very slight cramps here and there ( nothing like w/ AF) and no blood clots. My husband is trying to do the same thing and cheer me up with the we have frozen ones... It doesn't help and I dont want to be mean and tell him that.

Congratulations Sandra.

On 25/02/2021, I had 5 blaatocyst transferred and this is my first attempt; no fibroid or cyst or problem of any kind reported.

On day 7 after transfer, I started having mild cramp and spotting which I communicated with my doctor. He only said I should continue my medications.

Yesterday which is day 11 post transfer, the spotting increased to heavy bleeding and when I told my Dr, he said I should go for pregnancy test which come out negative. Though he told me to do another one tomorrow, I don't have any hope left as I'm still having heavy bleeding.

I wish wonder would happen cus I'm devastated right now.
