Bleeding...

[Sprinkles86]

Looks like our happiness at our surprise BFP will be short lived, I noticed pink discharge earlier today which very quickly developed into dark red bleeding. The bleeding hasn't soaked a pad yet (sorry if tmi) but there is quite a lot on the tissue when I go the toilet. Early pregnancy unit at my hospital is for 6-12 weeks and I'm about 5.5 weeks I think? Feeling very sad right now to say the least and not sure what to do next, do I call my clinic in the morning? Shall I stop taking my cyclogest pessaries? Xxx

Bless you. Try not to give in yet it can happen. I had some bleeding early on too. Keep taking your cyclogest and definitely call your clinic. They did an early scan for me. Hoping for the best for you. Big hugs. Xx

I'm sorry to hear this, it must be distressing. Bleeding can be part of a normal pregnancy and I've seen lots in this group. Keep taking the pessaries and ring your clinic first thing. Good luck xx

Keep talking your meds until you know what is going on..

Try the clinic first, if they don't assist then epu and then your GP too. If they won't do a scan, see if they'll do blood tests.

I've got everything crossed for you x

[Mantaray75]

I was told to keep going with the progesterone. My clinic did another HCG test and then planned to scan me.

Fingers crossed all is well for you. I know exactly what you're going through. x

Have u any pain? Take another pregnancy test xx I had a lot of bleeding, and I soaked through pad after pad but baby Harrison was always ok, it's really distressing but if it is bleeding due to early mc then your hcg levels will be dropping so a pregnancy test might give u some indication? Bleeding can be normal, keep taking meds xx I hope u r ok xx no pain is also a good sign xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Bumpwanted]

I had some cramping last night after it started, I did another cb digi last night and got 2-3 so I know my levels have gone up just not sure by how much. Have had bloods done at my clinic and back weds to see if they have doubled or not xx

[Bumpwanted in reply to Sprinkles86]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 everything is ok for you Hun xx waiting is hard... X

[Jae85]

I had this for 2 and a half weeks. I phoned my clinic and they got me in saw the heartbeat at 6 weeks and a big patch of implantation bleed. Try not to worry its not always bad news. Good luck xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Jae85]

Thanks jae I'm trying to stay positive as the bleeding has eased off, just with my previous losses I guess I automatically prepare for the worst xx

[Jae85 in reply to Sprinkles86]

I know exactly what you mean even after 3 scans and seeing the heartbeat I'm still a nervous wreck. It's good its slowed down though. Hope your ok xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Jae85]

Think I will be exactly the same... Hubby and I were talking yesterday and I don't think we would even be comfortable buying things until baby is actually here! So wish I could go back to being naive to all of this xxx

[Jae85 in reply to Sprinkles86]

I've bought some pj's and slippers but that was after the 3rd scan but I'm thinking like you too right at the last minute. It's sad not being able to enjoy it. I don't feel like my midwife realised how serious I was being when I told her how I felt she laughed it off and said stop worrying. How are you feeling now? Has the bleeding stopped? Xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Jae85]

I think that unless they have been through it themselves they won't know how you feel. Laughing it off probably didn't make you feel any better... I'm feeling ok really just worried and anxious to get the blood results on Thursday! Bleeding has stopped completely now so that's made me feel a bit better, just when I saw dark red on Sunday I automatically thought the worst, who knows!! I did bleed during my 2ww so maybe I am just one of those people? Xxx

[Jae85 in reply to Sprinkles86]

It really didn't help at all. I've got 2 weeks on Friday till my scan so just hoping. I wanted to pay for a private one but hubby says not a chance. Hopefully then if the bleeding has stopped it was just a little implantation, I always thought that would be like a tiny bit then over so I didn't believe it when mine went on for so long. Fingers crossed for Thursday then but I had neatly think you'll be fine. My miscarriage last year was like a period really but lasted longer so I think you can tell really xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Jae85]

Yeah I was expecting it to keep coming like a period as that's what my last mc was like 2 years ago. I had said to myself that I would probably bleed at some point but still I assume it's a mc and feel devastated... I was thinking of having an early scan if all works out ok, do you mind me asking what your hubby's reason was for not wanting one? I haven't discussed with mine yet as he says he can't think that far ahead xxx

[Jae85 in reply to Sprinkles86]

That's exactly how I was thinking with mine but it was too on and off and just different. Well I had one at 6,7 and 8 and because they said there's a really low chance after seeing a heartbeat he thinks it's fine anyway. He says I worry too much and he doesn't want to waste money on a scan, I don't know how I should feel as apart from sore boobs and the occasional sickness I feel normal so that worries me. My first miscarriage was twins and one caused the bleeding and 2 weeks later the other ones heart stopped beating so that's what worries me this time because there's just no way of knowing. Maybe your clinic could scan you early when you get your results just to reassure you? Mine booked me in as soon as I got the positive so I was lucky they were so understanding with the extra scans xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Jae85]

I get what he is saying, I just don't think you can put a price on your peace of mind! My local place does it for £45 I think? Aw that must have been heartbreaking for you, like going through it twice over in the same pregnancy, I can't imagine how that has affected you xxx my clinic have said they won't do an earlier scan as I already have one booked in for 20th... Feels like a lifetime away xxx

[Jae85 in reply to Sprinkles86]

Exactly how I feel. I know I'm still really early but I'm convinced I felt a flutter last night and even if it wasn't it's helped me feel better. That's a bit unfair of the clinic it's a horrible time isn't it. Would you pay for a private one? 2 weeks is still a really long time isn't it. How are you feeling now? Xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Jae85]

Maybe it's your bodies way of telling you everything is ok? It is awful considering we have paid a small fortune to them for treatment... I am taking cyclogest pessaries still, they gave me three boxes to last me til the scan and I have finished one box now, so one box down two more to go 😂 Xxx

[Jae85 in reply to Sprinkles86]

We qualified for nhs find ng luckily but they were brilliant about the scans being so early and close together. I was on utrogestan until 9 weeks, the nurse said stop at 8 but I had a box left so carried on just incase. I think because they see it everyday they just think well it's normal and I've told you not to worry so don't worry. At least one is gone 😊 at least when you get your scan you will get a clearer picture my first one was a blob and the second one looked like a frog but the 3Rd one was a really good shape so can't wait to see how much it's grown 4 and a half weeks later xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Jae85]

Yeah I am really looking forward to seeing the scan, think I will be almost 8 weeks when we go for it! Noticed today I am feeling sick after eating and my skin is horrendous had such a bad breakout of spots!! Hoping these are both good signs xxx

[Jae85 in reply to Sprinkles86]

Aww will be a better scan then won't it. Definitely good signs, I think your body's now telling you everything is ok. Aww I'm really hoping everything is okay for you xx

[Jae85 in reply to Sprinkles86]

Have you had your results back yet? Xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Jae85]

Not yet.... Called them an hour and waiting for a call back... Biting fingernails as we speak!! Xx

[Sunny_skies]

So sorry that you are going through this. Please try and stay positive. As everyone has said, it is not over until you have had tests done at the clinic.

Please keep us updated. Lots of hugs. xxx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Sunny_skies]

Thank you, all these positive messages are keeping me strong xxx

[Mandy_K]

try not to worry . I do know bleeding can be normal. I would suggest continue with pessaries and get into a clinic for a scan. They could do transvaginal scan which can pick up things earlier than a ultrasound. Sometimes rushing to get in may not be the solution unless you are in pain. Follow up a scan and see when they can get you in. Trust their judgement. They will advise you. Please try not to worry. Xx

[Sprinkles86 in reply to Mandy_K]

I practically had to beg them to even do bloods today so don't think a scan would even be worth mentioning! Just a waiting game now til I get second blood results Thursday morning xx

[Mandy_K in reply to Sprinkles86]

that is such a shame. I guess we have to trust them. Just a few more days to wait. Please try and keep positive x

[lady123]

please don't stop the progesterone. I had 3 weeks of bleeding with my LG and went on to have a trouble free pregnancy afterwards.

[Sprinkles86 in reply to lady123]

Thank you it is so reassuring to hear stories like yours xxx

[MommaBear16]

Oh Sprinkles I'm so sorry that you're having this scare. Have you spoken to your clinic? Keep taking the progesterone until told otherwise by your clinic. Thinking of you, hoping everything is ok x x x

[Sprinkles86 in reply to MommaBear16]

Hey MommaBear, I rang this morning and she said it was nothing to worry about, can be very normal blah blah blah... I said well I'd like bloods doing to see if my levels are going up, if they aren't then I can prepare myself for it... I had to ask three times even offering to pay, then she had to call me back after speaking to a doctor! Had them done and back again weds for second lot, results Thursday morning. Last mc I had I was at an early pregnancy unit and they scanned me and did bloods no questions asked, seems ridiculous that after paying so much for this treatment I have to beg for a blood test! Sorry for the rant lol xxx
