Am I out of the woods now?

[Waitingforourmiracle]

So some of you may have seen my posts about the spotting I had Saturday. I had a bit of pink in some clear mucus when I wiped Saturday at about 1pm, then a thin strip of old blood on my pad at about 7pm that day. Since then I've had absolutely nothing. Have spent the days since then terrified that I'm going to start bleeding more and it'll be a miscarriage. Do you think if it was that it would have started by now? Am I at a stage where I can put that down to normal pregnancy spotting/placenta implanting?

We are booking in for a private scan for Friday when I'll be exactly 6 weeks. I'm due back at work tomorrow but so scared of going back.

Hi!

I’ve had the exact same symptoms as you

I can’t remember exactly when I had the same sort of spotting etc as you I was also terrified but I think it might be implantation. 🙏

I think you should go back to work to try and keep your mind busy. What will be will be and stressing won’t help and I don’t mean for this to sound flippant or un heart felt.💕I truly know how you feel. I to booked in for an early private scan which I had yesterday and there were two strong heart beats

Really hoping your scan goes well

The best of luck.i hope this is your time xx

This sounds really positive. I remember so well the relief of spotting stopping! I agree I think going back to work might help keep your mind occupied and be a good thing 👍🏻 Best of luck for your scan Xx

Thank you all for your replies. I guess my reason for not wanting to go back is the fear of the spotting starting again while I'm there and also since the spotting I've lost all happiness that surrounded this pregnancy as I'm so scared of bad news and my colleagues know I'm pregnant so not sure how I'll cope with everyone still chatting away excitedly about it while I'm just so scared

I can understand that. I started spotting at work and could of had a full on breakdown in the toilet! I was in the middle of a meeting and actually it forced me to be ok and grit my teeth and go back in. You will know what’s right for you. I wish I knew what Is normal to feel about a bfp as I’m also still petrified and worried I’m not happy enough. I am obviously happy but also too scared it will be taken away! Xxx

Up until the spotting I was allowing myself to be really happy and excited about it even though we had a previous mmc. I was looking at nursery ideas, names, planning our last babyfree holiday etc now I'm too scared to do any of that which makes me so sad. I just want to enjoy this pregnancy as I am so grateful to be blessed again.

I felt much better after the scan so hopefully you will relax again once you’ve had the scan? The spotting is awful as like you say it saps the happiness from you and replaces it with fear! It sounds like all is really positive so I hope you can feel better again soon xx

Don't loose hope my dear I'm still spotting cause they said the old fluid must come out completely for the clean uterus but I will go back for my day 12 scan hoping will have more grown follicles from 6mm. I'll keep posted

Had to go to doctors with a urine sample as I've been getting pain towards my right kidney. When I did the sample at home and then wiped I had a small bit of stringy brown blood when I wiped so am now back to being terrified.

Thankfully though the doctor said there was no blood in my urine which she would have expected if there was a problem. She also found no infection so thinks the pain is muscular. She also reassured me that it's unlikely to be an ectopic as the pain is far too high up to be that. So now I'm just going to go back to bed and binge on Netflix
