Update on bleeding

Hey all,

Sorry for being a bit quiet yesterday after posting about my bleeding. I read all the comments as they came in, screen grabbing the “clear blue are cr*p” and “I bled and I’m ok” ones and sent them to Mr Emu to reassure him too.

It was hard to engage yesterday, partly because I was travelling with work and partly because I passed a small blood clot mid-afternoon. It wasn’t a shock. The blood seemed to be getting redder but not masses as the day had gone on. Interestingly since that blood clot I’ve had no bleeding or discharge or cramps for well over 24 hours now.

My clinic remain incredibly calm about this, which calmed me too. I’m not sure how I’m managing but I’m very much optimistic about this. I’m not panicking and I’m keeping as calm and relaxed as possible. My work trip to London was quite possibly the most relaxing trip I’ve ever had.

I’ve not had a blood test or early scan. If I’d have continued bleeding I would have demanded these for peace of mind. This may alarm a few people. But I really do feel fine. x

Haha you can take it easy 😀 x

Hi emu

It must be so hard for you even to make that post. There can be small clots passed and all well. You know that everyone is sending you lots of hugs and good wishes. Well done for being so calm. Xxx

Thank you honey. Yesterday just got a bit too much I think. Panic set in. And i swear at one point I got cramp in my foot and started to think that was another sign of failed ivf attempts! Who knows where we are heading but it feels much easier being calm about it x

in reply toemu2016

I have been doing mindfulness this year to try to help. It says whatever has happened has already happened so no point in dwelling, and what will happen will happen. I am sure you are doing everything you should. Just pretty hard at this stage with everyone sharing your journey. You are so brave. Xxx

Thanks Lorraine x

Maybe implantation bleeding; my sister bled at 5 weeks for 2 weeks heavy like a period and everything was okay. I honestly know so many ladies who have had bleeding and been ok. 😍

I’m glad you are feeling in a better place. ❤️

It’s so easy to worry about things that havent happened; I do it a lot but never achieves anything. And sometimes you find out you worried for nothing waste of time and your energy 😐I’m real worrier this journey hasn’t not helped that 😂

So I applaud you completely and it is definitely better for you and your baby or babies to be in a happier place 😘 I know that is difficult after this whole journey. You’re doing really well and I’m so proud of you 🙂 Looking forward to your next update to hear all is well 😍 xoxov

Glad the bleeding seems to have stopped and you’re feeling calmer. One thought which I’m not sure anyone else has said. Am I right in thinking you had 2 embies transferred? Maybe only one of them took and this was the second one coming away? Either way you should hopefully have an answer on Monday. Not long to go now. I have everything crossed for you x

emu2016 profile image
emu2016 in reply toLynnr54

Yeah, in a weird way I think that has kept me sane knowing there was two. The clinic haven’t said that. Just said that ‘this happens, promise!’ x

Hey ❤️ I'm currently 7 weeks and 3 days, last week at 6 weeks I went to the toilet and had a bright red bleed like a nose bleed. Absolute panic stations I was devestated sure id lost the baby. Went to early pregnancy unit and they scanned me and saw my wee baby and it's heart beat. I have continued to spot and bleed every single day since then, pink at times and other red and clots. I was sure it was the end. Had another scan yesterday and again saw my baby happy as Larry and a strong heartbeat. What they did see tho was called a subchronic bleed, a pocket of blood like a bruise that will either be absorbed or expelled so in my case it comes out. Should resolve itself and cause no issues just taking it easy and relaxing not being too strenous. It wasn't near the baby and wasn't affecting it so they said. Just to let u know ur not alone and this may be a possible cause apparently it's common with treatment ladies xx

I’ve never heard of subchronic bleeding before. Thanks for sharing! xx

This happened to me at 7 weeks. I was convinced I’d let my twins. My clinic wasn’t concerned but told me to stop my clexane injections. They said I could either wait until my planed scan or come in the next day for piece of mind, it was Christmas Day (well evening) so on Boxing Day I had a scan and saw both of my babies for the first time.

Good luck xx

After the storm comes calm, I think that’s what they say?! Well you’re proof of this, I really admire how calm you’ve been through this and need to try & take some of that with me too along this crazy ride. I’d have been a total mess. Living on high alert for so many years not knowing what on Earth is happening or what my body is doing makes for a very tiring, scary, unpredictable life. Your body will do what it wants to do whatever and I guess and just getting worried doesn’t change the outcome one bit, well done you for weathering that storm and bringing a little ray of sunshine to us all on here! Keeping everything crossed for you on Monday 😘🤞xx

I keep thinking the calm will go soon. So I keep eating cake. 😂 three more sleeps x

It’s a scientific proven fact that cake wards off anxiety & keeps you calmer...I’m sure I’ve read that somewhere?! Here’s to 3 speedy sleeps ahead and good news on Monday and lots more cake...obviously! 😘🤞🍰🍩

Hello,

I am 6+4 today. On thursday last week I started bleeding, it got heavier and the next day I passed 2 clots. I was convinced it was bad news. The hospital arranged an early scan on the Monday and I got to see the heart beating. Everything was as it should be. Best wishes to you xx
