Just been to the loo and there is red blood. Not lots but enough.
I wouldn’t be as panicked if it was brown blood.
Thoughts anyone?
I’m waiting on the clinic calling me back but at 5 weeks there’s really nothing they can do x
***a wee update that I got my bloods done and HCG was 14,000 which they said was positive but that since I’m 5.5 weeks it becomes less reliable. Viability scan brought forward a few days to when I’d be exactly 7 weeks so I need to wait until then to be sure 😩

After the first bit of red blood (it wasn’t that much) it’s been brown spotting. Not that much but since Friday.
I have a weird theory though that because my body weirdly didn’t have a period during the medicated FET that this is the old blood left from this but who knows 🤷♀️ x
That all sounds positive and hopeful then similar to what I had. It can be all sorts of things implantation goes on for a long time and I suspect mine might be related to my cervix being a bit sensitive to all the changes. Fingers crossed for you! Definitely sounds like it’s calming down. x
Oh how worrying for you. I didn’t know the more pregnant you are the less reliable the HCg is. I did my bloods today and I’m 5+1. So not sure if I have done the right thing??
I hope that your scan shows your little peanut is safe and sound and In The right place. I am thinking of you xxxx
Thank you for sharing. It so reassuring to hear other people’s stories xx
Glad to hear your blood test showed good levels. As someone who has had a early miscarriage the bleeding doesn’t just stop it gets worse & worse. Yours sounds like spotting which is really common in pregnancy ( horrible but normally baby’s are fine) I had this in both my full term pregnancies even a bit fresh blood with both & was completely different to my miscarriage as it slowed down like yours. Hope that can give you some hope. The waiting to see if all is okay is awful been there 3 times felt sick with nerves every time, sometimes these babies can be quite troublesome! Hope all goes well with the scan to put you at ease. Try not to think the worst ( easier than done but it sounds hopeful to me) xxx
Just wanted to stop by and wish you good luck for now through to the viability scan. I’m sure it’ll be a very anxious time but I hope you manage to get some sleep and time passes as quick as possible with no more bleeding. 🤞 for you xx
I had bleeding at 5 weeks and my GP referred me to the early pregnancy unit at the hospital for a scan as soon as I was 6 weeks. Might be worth trying to get reassurance a bit sooner. After 2 pretty heavy bleeds my baby and it’s heartbeat could be seen on the 6 week scan. I’m now 19 weeks so don’t give up hope.
Thank you. My clinic said they don’t want me to do the scan until I’m 7 weeks unless the bleeding gets worse. It’s only 10 days away so hoping it stays under control until then x
I hope everything will be ok for you, try to stay positive. I had a bleed just before I was 6w and they scanned me at 6w3d (internal scan). I wonder if they can scan you a bit earlier? I also had another bleed about a week later and they found that I had a haematoma. I've been resting a lot since then and they've been monitoring me closely. Today I had a scan at 10w3d and my haematoma has finally gone (I continued brown spotting up until a few days ago). I'm having twins and all is well with both. Take it easy and try to relax as much as you can x
That's ok, hope it helps to give some reassurance that not all bleeding is a bad sign. I'm glad you're doing ok and feeling able to hold out until your scan. Fingers crossed all is well x
I dont think anything really prepares us for the anxiety of getting a BFP! Hang on in there, you're doing great! Yes will get our flights booked, little bit scary saying thaty....back tp stressful times....Im never happy right?! Ha ha ha xx
Hi,
The results of your blood test sound very positive! I'm 17 weeks pregnant after FET#2. I had pink-browish spotting since week 4 till week 8. I had an important bleeding again at 12 weeks followed by spotting during 3 weeks.
I know this is going to be an awful wait for you, but try to think positive. Our babies can be very tough!
It’s just knowing how much bleeding is ok. It was really light Sunday, Monday and now it’s a wee bit more today. Much of my working day will now be spent in the toilet 😩 x
My clinic said to carry on as normal and I sit down in an office most of the day. It’s such a worry but I know that I can’t do anything other than try to stay calm x
