Can’t believe I’m in limbo again!!

[Binky1983]

So here I am again worrying about if I’m going to miscarry... I’m about 7/8 weeks pregnant.

I woke up in the early hours of Tuesday morning with an horrendous urine infection, spent 3 hours weeing every 10 mins! Every time I went for a wee it would send my bladder into spasm.

About half way through this I started to notice blood. I had brown blood on my panty liner and there was pink blood when I wiped. It’s been minimal like I can wear the same panty liner all day.

I rang my gp yesterday morning and he finally rang me back last night. I’m on antibiotics for the urine infection and when I mentioned the spotting I was told to keep an eye on it for the next 24 hours. I thought it had stopped but I had a bit more last night. There’s blood on my panty liner but not when I wipe.

I just can’t believe I’m now in limbo again!! I have an antenatal appointment tomorrow morning so I’m hoping they can shed some light. Part of me hopes that the bleeding is just where my cervix is irritated from having sex which is what triggered the uti and the spasms just brought the blood to the surface as the spasms were enough to push the remainder of my pessary out, the other part of me can’t help but think the worst.

I’m so scared I’m going to have a miscarriage again. Ive already had two.. I’ve not really had any cramps since the spotting started and I’ve been having cramps on and off since I found out I was pregnant. I didn’t have cramps really at all last time I miscarried and both my miscarriages started with brown spotting. I just can’t believe that I’m in this situation, I thought getting pregnant was supposed to be the hard part! 🙄😢

Hi Binky, I’m really hoping all be well at your antenatal appointment tomorrow. I’m sure you are beside yourself with worry and feeling very uncomfortable also from the UTI. As you say, hopefully it’s nothing more than a little spotting brought on by sex. Keeping my fingers crossed and sending lots of love xx

Hi Binky1983. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. I'm hoping it's all down to the urine infection and it's irritated you bladder causing the spotting. Thinking of you. Diane

Thank you Diane. I did think that but I’m pretty sure it’s coming from my cervix region. My appointment tomorrow is my first antenatal one, but I’m hoping I’ll still be able to get some better answers than my gp was able to give and that they will book me for a scan. X

Sorry you’re in this situation. Being pregnant after infertility is not as enjoyable as it should be. Sadly. I hope the spotting has stopped and you get some much needed reassurance today xx

Thank you so much! Thankfully it was actually a scan appointment with the consultant despite being called a midwife episode. So I have had a scan this morning and all is ok for now. I’m so so relieved!! Xx
