Miscarry at 6 1/2 weeks?

[3700jane]

Hi all I had a wonderful positive result and was 6 half weeks gone with nice high HCG. I had IVF and it all seems ok. Yesterday I came over v weird I sweated straigh through my top, felt v sick and had some cramps. I bled. Not masses and the pain and blood has stopped but it was more than spotting (like a regular period but just one occasion of bleeding) and I'm very pessimistic due to how poorly I felt when it happened. I'm concerned that my cyclogest and progynova are just holding my lining there when it needs to go. I have a scan tomorrow (they won't do weekends) kinda given up tbh. I can't see how this will be ok. Any advice?

I am so sorry to hear you are going through this! I know how devastating it is bit it's not over yet! Was the bleed brown or red?

I bled quite a lot of brown blood and then clots for 10 days straight starting the day before my 10w scan! My 10 week scan showed baby was fine and no idea where the bleed had come from. My nurse and FS both said brown blood is old blood and not to be too worried unless it turned red, got heavier and had sharp cramping. If that happened I was to go to the hospital. I am now 21 weeks and baby is all good!

Please keep your chin up. I know how worried and hopeless you must be feeling but until you get a scan, you're not out! Bleeding in early pregnancy isn't normal BUT it is common. There is still hope. Good luck! Xxx

The blood was red unfortunately, although confusingly since it happened just a little brown when I wipe...I'm having cramps this am too. Time will tell but that's little consolation really cos we seem to spend our entire time in the unknown with IVF...waiting to finding out if enough eggs for collection...waiting to see if they fertilise, waiting to see if embryos survive, waiting for body to recover from over stimulation, dreaded 2WW and now I'm just sat here again not knowing and waiting. It feels so wrong that just cos it's early pregnancy we don't deserve scans as and when needed only business hours?! Oh well I think it's just my mood today to not feel v hopeful. Thanks for your comments tho. I will try and keep an open mind. I know it's prob more healthy! Best wishes.

I am so sorry. I know all we do is spend our time waiting a day worried. I can tell you it doesn't get better. I'm still worried and can't enjoy my pregnancy. I don't think I'll relax even when I'm holding her in my arms.

It sucks that you can't get a scan. I understand that scans before 7 weeks dont show much. So doctors don't like to do them because it can be hard to see anything which can cause even more stress to us. At least that's what my FS told me.

I hope that you get your scan and get good news. I know this all sucks. The waiting is like death by a thousand cuts. I didn't sleep at all once I started bleeding until I got my scan. My mind just couldn't stop going to dark and sad places. Please try and find things that may help take your mind off it...almost impossible I know. I just hope you can find some relief from the negative feelings you have. Biggest hugs 🤗🤗

Thanks so much for your kind words. I am so blessed to have a little 3 year old via fertility treatment. I feel like we get robbed of a normal exciting pregnancy. The conception kinda paves the way for over analysis and worry all the way through. All I can say is that your life is going to be simply new and beautiful very soon. It's a love and a meaning to life like no other and it's lovely that yours is progressing so well. I came home from pointless hospital visit at 3am and I spent a long time just looking at my little girl sleeping and soaking up how lucky I am really. X
