7 weeks and brown discharge

[muststayhopeful]

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and I’ve had some brown staining with my pessary and some mild lower abdominal cramping for the past few days.

I have a scan on Wednesday

I am utterly terrified!! Has anyone had any good outcomes from this? Xx

I’m in the same boat as you. I had started my journey of ivf in Eastern Europe. So I am very happily out of the first trimester but still worried like crazy over the past two weeks. I was at work one day and had a "gush" so I went to the bathroom and had a brown watery discharge soaked in my underwear. I went to the obgyn and he said he saw nothing wrong and not to worry. Since then it has been happening every 2-3 days. I have a fetal doppler and my baby still has a nice strong heartbeat but I have no idea what is causing this brown fluid to come out. I had a LEEP procedure done a few years ago and am worried it is something with my cervix. I go to the prenatal specialist tomorrow..🤞🤞☹️

Are you on cyclogest pessaries?! If so there have been a few ladies on here who were using them vaginally, getting some spotting and abdominal pain - from memory it was something to do with the pessary irritating the cervix so hey used them rectally.

I’ve not had that issue as I’ve always used them rectally

[muststayhopeful in reply to Running79]

Yes cyclogest pessaries. Yes I did wonder this but I’ve used them before and not had a problem.

Maybe I’ll start using them rectally and see if the bleeding stops. Thank you for your message xx

[Running79 in reply to muststayhopeful]

I was going to say change to using them rectally - it’s a bit of process of elimination

I had this and the nurses said it could be implantation or irritation from the pessaries. As long as it's not red and heavy, it's ok. Just keep an eye on it. Mine lasted about ten days or so from about 8 weeks. Xx

[muststayhopeful in reply to Positivemissp]

Thank you for your reply. I thought at 7-8weeks it may be a bit late for implantation. Did yours just stop?

It’s definitely not red and heavy just very small amounts of brown and slightly discoloured pessary residue.

I feel so stressed and don’t know if I can handle this going wrong again.

I think I’ll ring my clinic and see what they advise.

I have to do a day of work tomorrow before scan wed and I’m not sure how I’ll cope

This is all so stressful isn’t it! Xxxx

[Running79 in reply to muststayhopeful]

If it’s all brown, it’s old blood so it could be a combination of implantation and the pessaries irritating your cervix

[Positivemissp]

I thought it'd be late for implantation too but she said the embryo could be snuggling in there a bit more. I think I've read that it could be the placenta forming. I thought it was likely to be the pessaries. I switched to using the back way instead and it gradually eased off. I'd give your clinic a call for reassurance. It's so so stressful. Being at work might help to distract you. When you're at home, take some time to chill out and put your feet up. It'll be ok xxx
