So everything was going so well until half an hour a go. I woke with a bad cramp bad enough to wake me and then I felt a rush of blood. Went to the toilet an a walnut sized clot came out. I have/had all the symptoms. High hcg which was doubling every 36 hours. I am not sure if this is the start of a miscarriage or can this happen for other reasons? Any comments greatfully received. Xx
So I had my scan and 2 embryos were found. One looking good. Faint heartbeat which the scanner thought had started today and measuring 3mm. The other sac had a foetal pole and measured 2.3mm but no heart beat yet... and more concerning is that it has an irregular shape. She is scanning me a week today to see it becomes viable. The reason for the bleed is that it is common with multiples and it's about fighting for room and apparently because with ivf they thicken your lining so much you are far more likely to have a bleed. Mixed emotions really. I am of course pleased but left feeling deflated which is stupid as I should feel really greatful.

I also don't have any advice but wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you and crossing everything that this turns out to be nothing and all is okay. Hopefully you can speak to your clinic soon to work it out. Xx
Don't panic just yet, I know bloody hard not to, phone your local EPU and they'll probably do another blood test, and phone your clinic also, good luck Hun, thinking of you xxxx
Glad of your update but understand that you would have mixed emotions at the moment. At least you are okay and so far, your two twiglets are as well. Keeping everything crossed that it stays that way xx
Oh gosh that must have given u a fright!! I think from what friends have told me, this can be quite common & not necessarily a bad sign!! Hopefully your scan can put your mind at rest! Let us know xxx
Thank you. The lady at the scan clinic said it's not uncommon with ivf. Feel like my body has been saying something with mild light brown discharge. It's going to be a long morning waiting. Xxx
Really appreciate that. I opted to have 2 put in to improve my chances of 1. So feeling a bit better. You know more than anyone that it is such an emotional merry go round with very little merry. Xxx
I'm due my next transfer on the 22/6 and so want 2 put back in...but they don't put two in as standard until I'm 37...and I'm not 37 til November! Do you think it'll work if I stamp my feet and cry lol!! xx
I tend to do that a lot as pointed out by my husband this afternoon. However it is going to be a well informed argument why you should. I understand they have relaxed the 1 embryo rule in this country. I say be awkward and no one likes a crying face. Xxx
I'm so glad to see the update. I've been thinking of you and will continue to do so - hoping the second one catches up and that everything progresses well from here. Xx
