Constant bleed from SCH 8 weeks pregnant

[Jenjen84]

Hello ladies,

My journey so far has had quite a few curve balls, after suffering moderate OHSS and being admitted to hospital for 3 days, I now have an area of Hemorrhage within my uterus right by the babies (we’re having twins).. I’m so scared all of the time.. So far, I have bled heavily at 7 wks, 7+4 and now 8+2.. I am now unfortunately having mild to moderate cramping too so am terrified it’s all going to end 😢 This is my 4th transfer, second pregnancy (1st ended in a MMC at 7wks) and I just feel totally exhausted and overwhelmed by it all.. Trying my hardest to hold onto hope but it’s hard! EPU scanned me on Thursday, both measured a day behind but both had healthy heartbeats and at that point, the Hemorrhage wasn’t that big.. Just feels like I’m fighting a monumental battle at the minute and I don’t feel like I’m winning! So sorry for such negativity, no real reason for writing this, just needed to vent as feel so very lonely right now.. 😢 Xxx

Big love JenJen. I’m sure not as severe as you but I was bleeding clots from 7-9 weeks. Had lots of rest and that little dot made it all the way here. Get some ice-cream and relax x

Thank you.. I hope I’ll have the same outcome.. xxx

It’s so hard when you have been through a long journey already to then have to deal with this too.

Hope the epu are going to keep a close eye on you?

You have to be selfish and harass the medical professions until you get what helps you feel a little calmer x

[Jenjen84 in reply to Hollibob]

Thank you! My next scan is in 2 weeks.. Not sure if I’ll be able to hold out that long! Congratulations on your 12 wk scan btw ❤️ Xxx

[Hollibob in reply to Jenjen84]

How far are you?

Have you got a place locally that you could have a private scan before your next one?

Thanks..I’m still worried all the time though 🙁 x

[Jenjen84 in reply to Hollibob]

I’m about 8 weeks.. I can probably find one, I’ll see what happens over the next few days.. Hoping it’s going to taper off like the other times! 🤞🏻

I can’t imagine ever not worrying through pregnancy! Every scan and week that goes by is another hurdle and positive step forward towards finally meeting your baby though Xxx

[Hollibob in reply to Jenjen84]

Just take it easy and if you need to take some time from things like daily life/work, then look after you 🙂

[Jenjen84 in reply to Hollibob]

Thank you.. I intend to do just that! Xxx

Oh, sweetheart...

I can 100% relate to how you are feeling right now.

I read loads about it online, and It seems such a common thing to happen, plus most of the time the outcome is positive.

But no matter what it’s still very very worrying for us suffering with it.

May I ask you, do you have sharp pains in your lower belly? I have on my right side, exactly the same as I did in my last pregnancy, when I also had a sch. I just don’t know if these are normal pregnancy pains, or sch related. They come and go, but can be quite bad at times.

I wish you well and pray that the haematomas will resolve by your next scan 🤞🤞

[Jenjen84 in reply to CatDV]

I’ve been thinking about you, how are you getting on? Do you have anymore scans?

All I have done is google, it brings some hope back to what feels like a pretty hopeless situation! 😂

The cramping is sharp like shooting pains.. Also have been having period like cramping on and off.. Just feel so limited to what I can do! The bleed calmed down to just really mild spotting so I decided yesterday to go out for a little walk and then drive to the shops which I think may have brought this bleed on? I don’t really know.. I’m also on clexane so unsure if that is actually helping or not! Right now, all I want to do is book a holiday!! 😂 I just want it to go either one way or the other, instead we’re just in limbo!

Thank you for you message and I truly hope for both of us that the outcome is good like so many others have been! Xxx

I have been resting a lot until today (went for long walk in the park, 5km in total 😳)

I am very pleased that I have not bled at all this time. I am not sure if this means the haematoma is healing, or perhaps it’s its position that causes the lack of bleeding... I really don’t know, but I am thankful that I didn’t have to go (yet) through the emotional pain of seeing blood, which I know it’s terrifying 😢

I have another scan booked for Tuesday. Incredibly scared to find out what’s going on inside.

My clinic said I could continue the clexane. I still decided to hold it till my next scan, mainly because my sch kept growing after each scan last time and the doctor at EPU (the one that gave me the news that my baby had passed) told me that if I had come earlier he would have advised to stop the clexane.

Of course this decision comes with the great worry that stopping it will make me have a mmc, even though I don’t have any diagnosed clotting problem.

Are you on aspirin too? Aspirin has been linked to considerably higher risks of sch. I stopped mine at about 5weeks after reading a very interesting medical article!

[Jenjen84 in reply to CatDV]

That’s really good that you’ve not bled, hopefully that means it’s healing..

I really am beginning to think the clexane May be doing more harm than good but my clinic didn’t seem too fussed.. I don’t have a known clotting disorder but my husband does and they have found with this particular one it can be passed on to the embryo so I’m advised to stay on it till 6 weeks after delivery.. I may phone the clinic on Tuesday to discuss with them..

My scan on Thursday showed an area of bleed under the pregnancies that was connected to a second area which was close to my cervix that was looking like it was going to continue to bleed out so the fact I have blood shouldn’t worry me too much but it does! Definitely when it’s pooling and bright red..

I guess only time will tell! Here’s to hoping.. 🍀

I’ll be thinking of you on Tuesday, really hoping everything works out OK xxx

[CatDV in reply to Jenjen84]

My understanding from recent research is that sch below the sacs and nearer the cervix have better prognosis! ☺️

They are also more likely to bleed externally due to the position, but that’s not necessarily bad.

My last one started lateral to the sac but a week later was also above the sac and doubled its size. The doctor at the time said straight away that the sch was pushing the baby down towards my cervix and it wasn’t looking good at all. I was warned on that day that I was likely to loose it.

This Leads me to believe that size and position of sch are quite good indicator, and I believe that both are at your favour at the moment 😊

(Disclaimer: this is what I’ve been reading on the Internet over the past week, I do not have a medical degree of any kind)

I completely forgot to ask the sonographer about the position of my sch as I was in tears after she mentioned it and my brain froze.

Thank you for your well wishes and good luck to us 😘

[Jenjen84 in reply to CatDV]

Thank you so much Cat, that does sound reassuring and I really hope it is due to it being close to the cervix hence the bleed.. It’s such a rollercoaster! We’ll see what happens, if it tapers off, I think I’ll relax a bit!

Good luck for Tuesday.. I’m keeping everything crossed 🍀🤞🏻 Xxx

[CatDV in reply to Jenjen84]

[CatDV in reply to Kari55]

So Tuesday will be an important/ emotional day (good emotions, I hope) for both of us then.

Very good luck lovely, I truly wish both your babies are doing well. Hopefully you’ll be able to see them wiggling, how exciting 🤗

Will keep you in my thoughts ❤️

Thank you Cinders ❤️ Xx

Hang on in there mama, this is a hard journey so don’t beat yourself up. You are incredibly strong even when you don’t feel it. You are making two babies, no wonder you are tired and fed up. Your hormones must be working overtime. Try and surround yourself with good people, watch lots of silly fun stuff on utube and laugh n rest. Fear is a nasty virus, try and focus on your twins heartbeats not the SCH, scary as it can be, they do heal up. Big hugs. I’m praying for you.

[Jenjen84]

Thank you so much Elynn, such a lovely positive message! ❤️ xxx

Big hug to you. It sounds so stressful and I'm thinking of you. How is it going? Xx
