8DP5DT - Spotting blood please help!

[Panda490]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a bit of a meltdown as we speak. Yesterday I was feeling very hormonal and grumpy, I was cramping quite abit throughout the day and in the evening I noticed a slight smear of brown blood. There didn't seem to be anymore, this morning again very very slight tinge of brown but now when I have just wiped there is a small 2cm spot of fresh blood and now I am panicking.

I don't understand how this could be my period as this is my third cycle - On my first two, I just had progesterone pessaries and oestradiol tablets and even though both times were a BFN, I had absolutely no blood through my TWW. This time I am on the exact same drugs but with added in lubion progesterone injections for additional support. How can my period be coming?!

I feel like it's game over and I am absolutely distraught. I don't know how I am going to recover this time. Any help or words of positivity would be greatly appreciated. I have emailed my consultant but my clinic is closed at the weekend 😢.

Hi

Not every pregnancy is the same, you will get different symptoms

I’ve just completed a donor round with extra progesterone being prontogest.

I bled the day before our 7 week scan, it was brown, bright red, dark red then brown again in the space of about 10 minutes.

I thought it was game over and had an uncomfortable nights sleep or lack of it!

I had the scan the following day and was amazed to see a flickering heartbeat. It transpired I had a subchrionic hematoma, which had bled.

I’m nearly 22 weeks pregnant now.

So I would say don’t panic, bleeding is normal, if it gets heavier, put a pad on to monitor how much blood there is. Contact your clinic on Monday when their back

Thank you so much for replying. I definitely had very small amount of brown spotting last night. After more frantic wiping etc, without going into graphic detail I've realised the blood is actually from the backdoor which I am so relieved about (progesterone=constipation for me!). Haha sorry for the 'too much information'. I'm going to have to email my consultant to say false alarm 🙊. Will continue to monitor with a pad incase I am mistaken but I think I can stop panicking slightly. 🤦 Urgh it's such a rough ride!
