Can anything positive come out of this - Heavy bleeding/clotting 2ww

[LittlemissAli]

Hi everyone, I’ve been glued to this forum and haven’t had the courage to speak but things have taken a strange turn and I wonder if anyone can give me any words of wisdom! So last August after a laparoscopy I was told that both my tubes were missing after an eptopic pregnancy 10 years ago, it looks like the surgeon failed to check both sides and set me away blissfully unaware it was physically impossible for me to get pregnant naturally.

I’m 38 and have potentially low reserve. I’ve just done my first round of IVF 7 eggs retrieved and 2 implanted one 6 cell and one 9 cell on a 3dt. Today was my test day as I’m 13dp3dt but I actually tested 8dp3dt and since then I’ve had a positive test everyday. At first I had no implantion bleeding, pain on day 2 and day 7 but very mild and my breasts were very painful since day one (thought this could be the cyclogest) 2 days ago my breasts stopped hurting and I started to spot brown blood, didn’t think anything of it till I woke up in the night bleeding heavily with clots, this has been non stop for the last two days, cramping and it feels like I’m having the worst period ever and never had clotting like this. My doctor told me to keep taking the cyclogest and take another pregnancy test today. I had resigned myself to the fact this round had failed but the test result lines are getting darker each day.. has anyone had this before and seen a positive outcome? Trying not to get my hopes up but I’m now wondering could I have lost one embryo and the other is still there. Dr has asked me to retest in 5 days. The waiting game is so hard and now I’m so confused 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely that you're still with a chance especially as your tests have gotten darker. You may have lost one embryo. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do but follow the clinics instructions and keep going with the cyclogest. The clinic may advise you to retest in a week but ultimately what will be will be! Worrying times for you, you must be going out of your mind. I hope the bleeding settles down soon!xx

Thanks so much for the reply - I guess I will just need to find something to preoccupy my mind for the next 5 days.. The waiting game is just awful!

[Cinderella5 in reply to LittlemissAli]

I feel the waiting is the worst part in all of this....everything is waiting then more waiting. Hang on in there!xx

This is so difficult for you. You are absolutely still in with a chance and we are all crossing our fingers for you. 🤞🏻

Thank you so much - I am worried about being optimistic as I have a feeling this isn’t going to have the outcome I hope for.. going to do a test tomorrow and see how the line compares to today.. I guess if it’s lighter then I will know what direction this is going in.. really appreciated your thoughts x

Did your clinic send you for bloods to confirm HCG levels?

[LittlemissAli in reply to Elynn]

No they haven’t yet, he said to wait till Thursday to do another test as the bloods with them are quite expensive and this would be the cheaper option for now. Every test is still showing pregnant but faintly, 6 days after the first day bleeding which has only just stopped today I did a clear blue test and it still says 1-2 weeks pregnant. I tested again because I’ve got killer toothache and really need some ibroprofen, thought if it was negative I could actually take something that helps! I’m so confused and two days left before the official test, the lines haven’t got any darker on the tests that’s for sure but they haven’t disappeared. I am still only 17dp3dt.

Hi little miss Ali, can I ask how the above turned out? I hope it was a nice positive outcome for you. X
