I felt pretty dreadful my posts may have caused upset. It wasn’t the right place to post pregnancy worries. I have joined NCT & lots of ladies from this site are there too. It’s lovely to have so many familiar faces. We’ve turned it into a pregnancy post infertility treatment site 😍
I had twinges & cramps @ 5 weeks , brown & pink spotting for 3 days at 6.5 weeks, brown spotting @8 weeks and fresh blood with small clots on Monday @ 10 weeks 1 day when I wiped. Needless to say I thought the worst & called the midwife. She was really lovely & asked if I had abdominal pain ( which I didn’t) said it was really good I didn’t. I was advised to call the GP to get me a scan at the Early pregnancy unit- for those who know me will know I had a loss last year & going back there was truly terrifying experience.
I had my scan yesterday we were terrified, I held onto my hubbys hand for dear life as they placed the jelly over me& explained to the scanner how long we had been trying. They had a look first & it felt like an eternity, how can a few minutes feel sooo long?!! And smiled at us & said there is a baby & it is fine!!! I burst into tears! The baby was then measured & is the correct size for its age 😍 and we asked if we could have a look & when I did I cried even more. He/she was wriggling a lot & was difficult to see the heartbeat! And then the baby turned towards the scanner! They couldn’t find any obvious reason for the bleeding. I feel reassured that all is okay. The worrying will now stop 🛑 💗
I hope that reassure any of you that are in early pregnancy that you can bleed & baby can be fine it doesn’t always mean miscarriage. So many ladies bleed in early pregnancy & are mostly okay, it is so common ( terrifying but common) I think it is more worrying for us ladies that have tried for sooo long.
Keep going & believing it can happen ❤️❤️❤️
I promise no more unnecessary posts on my pregnancy. xoxo 😘
Hi jess. I tried to comment on your post on the other network but it wouldn’t let me for some reason! Just wanted to I’m glad that everything is ok, was thinking about you yesterday! It must have been a big relief for you. Hope everything is plain sailing for you now, as much as it can be anyway xxxx
Thank you. Definitely a big relief! My hubby said I honestly think it would be easy after how this journey has been?!!! 🤣 It’s given us the reassurance that was needed. How are you doing? xoxo
Oh good, you just need that, all this should come with a health warning!! 😘 Not to bad thank you, doing some clinic chasing at the moment, check our donor choice is ok! Just want something to happen now🤞🏼xxx
Thank you. I’m glad I could reassure it’s so scary when it happens. It does seem to be very common- I bled with my son & this one. My sister spotted with both her children, my mum did with me & my sister, and sister in law did several times with my nephew. From what the midwife said to me it’s only if it’s really heavy bleeding like filling a pad every hour & severe abdominal pain should it be a concern- anything else is okay 👌🏻 Easier said than done try not worry & just really rest up until it passes ( like bed rest) Wishing you the best with your pregnancy xoxo 😘
I’m on my FET #3 now. Bit nervous but as I’m having other serious troubles in life my focus is split between, not easy but our hope is positive and this is our driver for life. Myself and my DH decided on this go and we are looking for this despite of outcome. As for now I’m on buserelin injections, baseline scan next week, I’ve almost finished my period so perhaps oestrogen tablets will be next. On brighter side I’ve found competitive good price for my PIO injections, I’m happy for this as the price will be more then half less from what I’ve paid before👌
It’s such a difficult journey, the longer it goes on the harder it is to have hope, but I really hope it’s third time lucky. Will keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Will be following your updates ❤️❤️❤️xoxo
Thank you for such a lovely reply. We all deserve our miracle baby’s 😘 & I hope for everyone here has a happy ending ✨ I hope all is okay with you? xoxo
It’s very frustrating for us. I was thinking yesterday that I might send them another email but to be honest I do understand it’s in the hands of the HFEA who they are obviously bound by 😕 It’s hard though xx
Aww that’s great news! Something to look forward to, it is always good to have a plan. You’ll be able to enjoy Christmas & look forward to trying again. ❤️❤️❤️ xoxo 😘
Oh bless you, Jess1981. Sending loads of love and light that you continue to strengthen during pregnancy and that at the end you get exactly what you have been fighting for , for so long.
Thank you that’s such a lovely reply. Its such a difficult journey but my god it’s worth fighting for- it is worth every tear I’ve cried. How is the 2WW? 🤞🏻 for you xoxo
Not there yet...have to see Harley Street for 2nd opinion on fibroid before we start doing EC's next year February/March time. With any luck, will get pregnant so don't have to fly over to in laws for their 50th!!!
Oh sorry, but it is definitely worth getting this fibroid looked at in case it will affect your chances of treatment working. Very sensible. If I’d gone ahead with any treatment before getting my endometriosis sorted it would’ve failed. Some say fibroids can affect fertility & some day not. My line manager had fibroids & struggled with fertility-but she did go on to conceive 2 children ( who are grown up now) Getting pregnant is definitely possible 😍 are the in laws that bad 🤣🤣🤣 xoxo
I'm so sorry you've been through so much. Bleeding is so scary! I bled at 13weeks and was absolutely terrified but like you a scan showed bubs was fine. Im 33weeks now. Hopefully you can rest a bit.
You mention the NCT site. Where do I find it?
Wishing you so much luck for the rest of your pregnancy and if you want to chat don't hesitate to send me a private message xxx
Thank you. It is so frightening to see any blood but it doesn’t always mean miscarriage. ✨So glad your pregnancy is going well.
It’s one of the forum on HealthUnlocked. It’s called NCT- it’s like pregnancy/new mummy site. You can search other communities & it should show xoxo
Jess, you have been through so much and been a rower of strength for others. Thank you for sharing - we need these posts so we too know it can be ok to have these bleeds. I am so so happy for your scan yesterday too. Yayayayay another milestone reached. Well done and thank you xxx

Just realised I called you a rower! No idea if you row or not, although I am sure you would be amazing at it as you are at support. But you know I meant tower! Xxx 🤣

Thank you. Definitely need to spread the word! I don’t think it’s so known that a bit of bleeding in pregnancy is okay. I know so many that have had spotting & been okay! I had bleeding with my son & this one. My sister spotted with both her children. My mum spotted with me & my sister. My sister in law bled heavily with my nephew @11 weeks.
My midwife told me unless it’s really heavy bleeding like filling a pad every hour or so & intense abdominal pain then it’s not a big concern - anything else is okay! Even a bit of red blood. It doesn’t feel okay at the time 🤣
From what I’ve heard more ladies spot in pregnancy then don’t. God knows why.
Hope you are resting up & wishing you all the luck in the world for yourscan, I hope it reassures you like mine has done 😅 xoxo 😘

Thank you. I have just realised that I don't really think it's real yet. Eeek, roll on Saturday x
• in reply to
I felt like that too until I saw the baby. The scan will help xoxo😘
Awwwww fantastic news 😊, I've got tears in my eyes reading this, look forward to further updates xx

Aww bless you thank you. ❤️ How is everything with you? xoxo 😘
• in reply to
We are ok, going to enjoy Christmas, then looking towards doing 1 last round of ivf may / June time but with donor eggs.
Will keep everything crossed for you that everything stays postive for you xx

Good for you, Christmas is very hectic I wouldn’t want to do treatment then!!! Hopefully it’ll be the last Christmas just the two of you 😍 Will look forward to hearing your updates xoxo 😘
It went well thanks for asking 😘 he’s going to up my dosage of menopur for the beginning which will hopefully grow my follicles quicker and more of them but otherwise everything will stay the same and hopefully we will have better success next time! We are starting again in Jan ☺️xx
I’m glad the appointment went well & you feel more positive 😘 You will have better success- just because last one didn’t work out doesn’t mean next one wouldn’t. You were just unlucky nothing more than that. Fabulous start to new year, very wise to get Christmas out the way! With Christmas coming up time will soon fly by & you’ll be starting again before you know it, I’m so excited for you 😘Next year will be your year 😍 xozo
Thank you. I thought it might help others see it can be okay. When I posted my worries on NCT site lots of ladies gave me hope with successful pregnancies with bleeding. It is very scary to have any kind of bleeding pregnant. Hope you are okay? xoxo 😘
Hi Jess, so happy for you and glad you feel loads better! Iv got a scan at the early pregnancy unit today as I had a lot of abdo pain at the weekend and out of hours gp got me in for today.
I’m terrified beyond belief as I keep thinking the worst 😔😔 but I’m trying to stay positive so I will let you know how I go on!
I’m so happy for you though that’s some great news! Xxx
I’m so sorry you have had some worrying symptoms. It’s so scary. Glad you have got a scan. Hopefully the pain is caused by something else like baby growing & uterus stretching or it could easily be where you get bloated & trapped air. Trapped air can feel like cramping. The fact that you don’t have bleeding with the pain is really hopeful. I lost fresh blood & was okay-it really surprised me it could be okay!
Let us know how your scan goes everything crossed for you. Scans are nerve racking but hopefully will put your mind at rest - I know I wouldn’t have stopped worrying until I seen our baby was okay. And worrying won’t stop for us mummy’s 🤣 xoxo
Hi Jess sorry not got back to you before, my little bambino is absolutely perfect 👶🏼🍼 I am 7 weeks not 8 as we thought but he or she is growing perfect size at the moment 💙💗 xxxxx
Thank you. ❤️They couldn’t see any obvious reason who knows what caused it, but thankfully it’s nothing to do with baby which is the main thing 😍 Think I can now enjoy being pregnant 🤰🏼 Seeing our baby has made the journey feel worthwhile xoxo 😘
So happy for you Jess! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy. I had bleeding throughout my first trimester so completely understand where you are coming from. It’s scary but such a big relief once you see your little bean wriggling around on the scan xx
Awwe thankyou im having a break from things my bodys just back to its normal rhythm of things and mentally i feel back to myself again .... were currently in the process of buying a house once thats over with i think ile ring the clinic and have another frozen cycle 🤞🏻 Xx
