5 weeks bleeding 😔

[Cand89]

Hello

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience to me. I had a fresh cycle of IVF and now have my 2yr little boy. We were so lucky to have some frozen embryos. Had one transferred last year which ended as a chemical pregnancy. I have had another frozen transfer had bloods on Wednesday which were where they should be then that night when I wiped I had blood and discharge. since test day I have been having cramps like a period! I rang the clinic and they did another blood test two days later and to my shock they had doubled.. I had convince myself it was all over. However I am so anxious as I am still having blood when I wipe the colour can be pink red and brown. It's not enough to have to wear a pad. The clinic just said I need to wait now til my scan which is two weeks away!

Any advice or similar stories would be great to heard driving myself insane!

I've had lots of spotting ie only when you wipe. I had fresh blood with my grown up son. I also bled with my 21 month old daughter Francesca lots of brown spotting and fresh blood at 10 weeks. I spotted constantly with my second daughter Amelia lots of brown and red- until 20 weeks she was a viable pregnancy but sadly died at 20 weeks in November last year. I also had 2 chemical pregnancies- one before Francesca and the other one last month after we lost Amelia. The difference was severe abdominal pain like doubled over the bleeding didn't tapper off like it has with previous spotting and was incredibly heavy flow- I absolutely knew both times I'd lost the pregnancy my tests were also faint so knew they weren't viable pregnancies. Currently 4 weeks pregnant also had pink spotting and brown which has stopped ( for now!) midwives told me not to worry unless I was having severe abdominal pain with very heavy full flow bleeding. Spotting is very common in early pregnancy. The fact your HCG is riding well is definitely a good sign. Mine had very faint positive tests so levels were not increasing. All Any of us can do is take each day at a time and hope for the best- worrying won't stop it and won't make a loss any easier. I hope your scan can offer you the reassurance you need and I wish you the best Xx

Hey I’ve had spotting on and off with my pregnancy and it turned out to be cervical erosion I’m 22 weeks which is really common just rest till it stops I think it’s more of an emergency if it’s clots and major cramping and bad backache I know how worrying it is esp after losses but fingers crossed you will be fine hun xx

Yeah it’s stopped now I had it at 8 weeks then 13 and 16 i haven’t had anymore so far but anytime it happened I did freak out and thought the worst but thankfully it’s all ok x
