Woke up on Christmas Day to cramping and spotting. Spent most of the morning crying at the unfairness of it all.
I'm fairly sure that I'm out. Have called 111 today and waiting for doctor to call me back as need to know what is happening, I'm just scared it's another ectopic.
Infertility is so unfair and others seem to get pregnant so easily.
I hope everyone else had a better Christmas than me! xx
I’m so sorry to hear this Hollie. Keeping my fingers crossed for you that all will be well xxx
Thank you lovely xx
How is the spotting this morning?
Hi Holly - is it red or other coloured? I think you are five weeks? It’s so normal to have spotting and cramps. Also did you have one or two put back?
It doesn’t mean you are out, it could be any number of things. I am cramping loads and some weird shooting pains too - it’s so easy to think the worst as we are so used to disappointment over the years but it’s about time it was your good news time you deserve it so try and stay positive and spend today resting up xx
I am just over 5 weeks and had 1 embryo transferred. It feels like my period is coming and I can't help but fear the worst. It's dark red at the moment but that is usually how my period starts with some dark spotting before my period comes. I know spotting and cramps can be normal but I have just got this feeling it's over. I am resting and waiting for doctor to call to find out what to do. It's so stressful and worrying! Xx
Sending you positive vibes and hoping that things will be ok xo
Thank you lovely xx
I’m not going to be able to stop you from worrying but I hope that the doctor is able to xx
Aww.. I’ve got everything crossed for you that it’s a blip🤞 Sending you positive thoughts 💕 xx
Really hoping that everything is ok for you. Impossible not to worry so not going to bother saying it. I have everything crossed for you. Sorry this is happening to you. ❤️❤️❤️🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
As above, I really do hope all is ok x
Thank you. I'm going to a&e now as waited over 4 hours for out of hours doctor to ring me and I can't wait any longer. I'm hoping at the least they will do a blood test so I know where I am xx
Hopefully they can reassure you. Hope it’s all good news. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for you. Trying to keep the faith is so difficult. Let us know how you are doing. Thinking of you xx
Thank you. A&E is packed but had triage and they are going to have urine sample and blood test to rule out water infection and look at HCG levels. I know what my HCG level was on 17th December so if it's gone down of not increased very much then I know where I am xx
Fingers crossed that everything turns out well dear.
Thank you. Me too 🤞 xx
Thanks for all your support ladies. Have had HCG test and was 16,000 so moving in the right direction (It was 177 last Monday). No infection and my abdomen is soft. Cramping and spotting has now stopped (At least for the moment). I have a scan booked tomorrow to see if the pregnancy is in the right place as that is my biggest concern and worry. Fingers crossed all is okay 🤞. I have had hell of a couple of days! Xx
Oh that's such good news
I was just going to say your symptoms don't sound ectopic related and quite normal otherwise
I had bfp on Monday and then had a full bleed straight after- bright red and a few tissues worth and then it just very slowly lightened and eased off during the day.
I had cramps too all day
And then nothing (!) I think unfortunately at this stage it is quite common and still a lot of implantation
Every time I lift something I'm scared it'll start off again
Really hope the best for tomorrow xxx
Thank you. I think I'm just hyper alert regarding ectopic pregnancies even though I haven't had the symptoms I have had previously. I just need the reassurance more than anything. Hopefully the scan will reassure me! It certainly is not easy and after everything we've been through you'd think we would catch a break!
I hope your cramps settle and like you say it's just implantation bleeding/cramps. It's just such a worrying time and thank God for this forum is all I can say!! Xx
So glad they have given you a little bit of reassurance. Got everything crossed for you for tomorrow. I’ve had terrible cramps but fingers crossed no blood yet. Hope everything is well tomorrow. Keep us updated. Rest up tonight 🤞🏻❤️🤞🏻❤️ xx
Yes the HCG levels have reassured me a bit that the pregnancy appears to be developing but cannot help but worry when cramps and/or bleeding are involved. I won't be late to bed tonight that's for sure as I'm exhausted! I hope your cramps settle xx
I hope it's going well...I know it's been 4 months but all I could is scroll down to read your message...I was so freaking out but it's good news...I felt for you hun just stay positive which helps. Good luck
What a time youve had!!! Good luck for tomorrow hope everything is ok xxx
Glad that things turned out well. Hoping the scan tomorrow turns out good.
Thank you. I have my fingers crossed as it's been a bumpy ride to date! 🤞 Xx
Oh wow. What a time of it you have had. So glad the bloods came back as they did and you got some reassurance.
Big hugs to you xx
Thank you. I was pleased by the bloods result. I've never had them that high in any of my pregnancies at this stage which gives me some reassurance but hopefully the scan will help reassure me too. It's been a rollercoaster couple of days xx
Really hope you get a good night's sleep tonight xx
Goodluck! Stay positive. Must have been such a scare waiting in a+e. Let us know how it goes tomorrow xxx
I've had better days it's fair to say! Thank you for your kind words I will update everyone after scan tomorrow xx
Good luck with scan. Thinking of you. It’s an extra rubbish time of year xxx
Thank you and hope you are okay xx
Sending you lots of luck for you scan today Hollie. Your HCG levels are definately reassuring. Least then scan will put your mind at ease. There’s so many things to think about in these early weeks and it can become so stressful. But try to remain as calm as you can xxx
Hi just be aware at 5w there might not be much to see they’ll prob want to see you again in 2w hope everything goes well x
They did tell me that but fingers crossed I can see something 🤞xx
Hi Hollie,only just read your post. How are you today, did the doctor come back to you? Xx
I'm okay thank you. I went to a&e in the end as 111 never came back to me! HCG is now 16,000 and no infection. I'm having scan today to see if they can see anything as given my history they want to check it's not ectopic xx
Ive had two gushes of blood but nothing ln a pad just twice when i went for a pee had brown discharge when i wipe and stomache pains im high risk of ectopic and should be scanned at 6weeks bit they have me in for at 8weeks and im panicking and scared ☹️
I would go to a&e if you are high risk of ectopic. The worry alone will be stressful. Although I am still not out of the woods seeing a doctor and having blood and urine tests did help put me at ease xx
Merry Christmas everyone (a little early)
Just a little update 
*Sensitive* have a lovely Christmas everyone🎅🏼🎄
Wishing all a merry, peaceful Christmas
