Yesterday I started spotting. Which gradually ended in what I would describe as a light period. Woke this morning to minimal to non existant spotting. This afternoon turned into a lighter period and then this evening has turned into a heavy bleeding with clots. I had two embryos in and tested positive Tuesday. My friends tell me I shouldn't worry, that it could be one embryo didn't make it and not two. And I have heard first hand accounts of people who had this on and off in their pregnancy and has gone on to have healthy term babies. I keep panicking. Which I know won't help. I haven't called my clinic as I now live over four hours away. Don't know what to do. I really can't lose another baby. I had twins 13 years ago and one died after half an hour and in May I had a mc. I can't handle any more bad news. Is it possible, or do I assume the worst. My viability scan is booked. Do I just wait for that?

First of all I’m very sorry for your losses and for what you are experiencing. It’s totally normal to panic! Unfortunately you can’t do much, even if you go to A&E I’m not sure if they will offer you a scan straight away and what they would be able to see. They might offer some tests though. I would call your clinic tomorrow just to see what they say. When is your viability scan?
Viability scan is 11th March.
Definitely wait for your viability. I’ve heard MANY a story of women bleeding before their viability scan and baby has been fine. Most times they’ve had no explanation as to why the bleeding occurred. I visited my hospital a 4,5 and 6 weeks and was given a scan each time. Perhaps your hospital may do the same, otherwise your viability will provide clarity. Try to stay strong. Easier said than done, I know...x
Thank you. I think I will call the clinic back and say I went to a and e but I won't k ow anything for a few days as did a blood test. I might see if I can wait for scan as not enough weeks for them to scan I don't think. I know they want me to go to my local epau tomorrow. But they onyl usually scan as early as 6 weeks.
I think the blood test will give you confirmation enough regarding whether the pregnancy is progressing. A scan could be useful at you local EPU but they don’t always reveal much so early on, however it also might. Really have my fingers crossed for you...x
Thanks for that. Trying to stay positive. This was our last attempt.
Stay strong Michelle. This really isn’t very uncommon and doesn’t necessarily mean the worst...x
I’m in a similar situation, got my positive on Wednesday and started spotting that evening. It’s been like that until today when it turned into what you’re describing as a light period. My clinic are taking me in for bloods tomorrow and again 48 hours later to see if my levels are rising. I’d give them a call and see what they say. All the best xx
Oh Michelle, my heart goes out to you!! You could try asking to get your hCG blood tested 48 hrs apart to detect if still rising ok!! I have heard of people having bleeding and been ok, a fair few on here!! Best of luck, hope it all settles down soon and it's just a blip! Hugs.xx
As people have said I have had bit of bleeding, gp sent me to a and e do they could refer me to early pregnancy unit. They did a scan the next day. I think the 11th otherwise is a long time to wait. Good luck x
Well went to epau. Lost both embryos. They were the last of our frozen batch. Not sure if I want to continue. That's my second miscarriage and third baby loss. I am gonna be 40 this year. Anyone been successful after 40?
Im so sorry Michelle!! So heartbreaking for you. Hugs.xx
So sorry for the losses you have had Hun. I had 2 mmc from natural pregnancies. I had our first IVF cycle at 41 years and 2 months and had my little boy from that cycle a month before turning 42. Please don't give up all hope. Lots of love xx
I’m so sorry Michelle. Such a terrible thing. Look after yourself and don’t rush your next steps. xxx
I haven't been on here for a while. But my last post was not updated. Unfortunately it was a confirmed miscarriage. And now we're at the stage where I don't think financially or mentally we can carry on. I am going to be 40 this year. And we had a lot of trouble when conceiving our son fourteen years ago so can't continue to kid myself that this is going to happen again for us. We decided to stop and look into adoption instead, plenty of children who need loving parents. Thank you all for your kind words, advice and support.
Really heavy bleeding!

Can cramps and spotting ever be a good sign after BFP?
