Sorry to see your having problems too.

I have had this lower back pain and pelvic discomfort for 3 days now and was so swollen last night.

Started bleeding fresh blood this morning 😭 x

Greencook in reply toHallj10

How far are you ? Have you been having your bloods done ? What are your levels ? I hope your ok ? I know some of my friends have bled quite a bit including red blood & have been fine but it’s hard not to worry isn’t it xxx

4+5 today. Had my frost beta at 11DP which was fine. Don’t trust the betas mine were in the thousands and I still miscarried the other times.

Passed a big clot today with a clear bit sure it was the sack 😞

Ahh I really hope not, can you get to the EPU today for peace of mind ? xxx

Yeah il ring them this morning x

Just had a early scan and the gestational sac is still there! I am so suprised. There’s is nothing in it yet but that’s about right for this time.

Such a head fuck!!

Couldn’t see a haematoma so hoping I’ve passed it all.

Done BHcg bloods today and will repeat on Wednesday to see if it’s doubling. X

That’s amazing news ❤️ I had some bloods done today too & they are getting me in earlier for a scan on Wednesday I hope they see something reassuring. Are you still spotting ? Did they say what it could be ! X

Hallj10 profile image
Hallj10 in reply toGreencook

It’s tailed right off now to brown spotting. I have had subchorionic haematomas with every pregnancy so guessing it was that.

Great news. Have your hcg doubled? X

Greencook in reply toHallj10

Amazing 🤩 I bet you feel better ? I don’t know my results yet need to call up about 9pm xx

Hallj10 profile image
Hallj10 in reply toGreencook

It’s a relief for now but I’ve had situations like this before so can’t get too happy. Need to stay optimistic but realistic x

Hallj10 profile image
Hallj10 in reply toGreencook

My beta is rising very slow so il have to see what tomorrows shows but not looking good x

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toHallj10

Do you have another scan tomorrow or just bloods ? Xx

Hallj10 profile image
Hallj10 in reply toGreencook

Bloods tomorrow then we will make a plan but it’s not looking good x

I know it’s hard but try to keep calm, you never know ❤️

I'm 6 weeks today and will have had spotting like that, on and off, for a few days. Google suggests it's ok. The heart panics. When I talked to the clinic they've offered blood tests but that just to have a piece of mind. There and then. I had blood tests before in chemical and they were inconclusive so I decided and I'm waiting to see what happens ...

Fingers crossed for you x

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toBuisquits

Do you use pesseries ? I’m hoping it’s just irritation from the pesseries. It’s so hard not to worry isn’t it. When is your scan ? xx

Buisquits profile image
Buisquits in reply toGreencook

I used then in the back passage as I have horrible thrush. It could be anything. It starts and stops but I'm just trying to live my life as normal, too much stress! My scan is on 3.08 so quite a long time to go. I'm hoping it will be conclusive

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toBuisquits

I was thinking of doing the same but I don’t know. Can you try it one day then go back to frontal insertion if you don’t feel comfortable? It’ll soon come & at least you’ll have a heatbeat too ! Mine is Thursday I’ll only be 5.5 days so I’m not expecting much but because of my history of ectopic pregnancies they want to scan me to make sure it’s in the right place xxx

Buisquits profile image
Buisquits in reply toGreencook

To be honest at first I wasn't so sure but cyclogest always gives me horrendous thrush so I had to try back. Now I'll never go back 😂 it's easier, less messy and the absorption is the same so there is no reason at all to go front. Consulted with my clinic. I'll be 7 weeks at the scan so maybe just maybe we will see some more... That is if we last that long.

Greencook in reply toBuisquits

I might give it a go, I used an applicator this morning to see if it helped, when I took it out was brown but only a little x

Buisquits profile image
Buisquits in reply toGreencook

They say it's the body clearing out, don't they. Sit back and relax ( 😂 if only it was that easy)

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toBuisquits

Haha I hope that is the case & yes definitely easier said than done xx

Could most definitely be normal…. But I know how hard it is not to stress. When is your scan booked? xx

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toMcQueeny

So hard, Thursday so not long but still I feel like a horrible feeling. I was so excited & finally thinking wow I’m pregnant this weekend & them the spotting this morning & some weird gurgling feeling in my lower abdomen too is making me panic. I might try go & get bloods done tomorrow so I’ll not worrying myself sick until Thursday xxz

McQueeny profile image
McQueeny in reply toGreencook

I’m so sorry it’s so stressful! Gurgling is totally normal too, it’s just the body getting accustomed to everything that’s going on… Bloods might be a good idea just for peace of mind, let me know x

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toMcQueeny

Yea I might go tomorrow but then would it actually show anything so soon anyway ? thank you I’ll keep this thread updated xx

Hi, I had brown spotting at 5 weeks and 7 weeks. Midwife put it down to implantation at 5 weeks and pessary irritation at 7. My spotting was worse than the picture, looked like ground coffee for 5 days but everything was okay. Spotting and bleeding is scary but can all be fine!

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toRain415

Thanks so much, I’ve researched & it’s literally 50/50 isn’t it. Some people end up with a good outcome & some not so i just need to relax & see what shows on my scan on Thursday xx

Rain415 profile image
Rain415 in reply toGreencook

If its not getting worse and going into full bleeding I'm hoping it will all be okay. I had sporting with my early miscarriage also but it quickly went into full bleed with clots over a few days. Wishing you all the best for your scan!

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toRain415

At the moment it’s just the same, when I wipe brown but more that the picture but not loads so I just need to see how I get on. I have a scan Wednesday would they know if it is a starting miscarriage or not ? How do they actually know so early ? Xx

Rain415 profile image
Rain415 in reply toGreencook

Mine they could tell because there was no sac and that was about 6 weeks 5 days. Sometimes they can tell others might be bit more difficult and will need to rescan. Really hope it all works out for you x

I had this with my first until around 12 weeks. if your on pesseries it could just be irritation x

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toHollyT7

I am hoping so ❤️ xx

HollyT7 profile image
HollyT7 in reply toGreencook

I went for an extra blood check and just burst into tears. the nurse said that it's just 'housekeeping' and your body will do all sorts during pregnancy. it's having a good clear our of all the nooks and crannies xx

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toHollyT7

I’m debating going to get bloods done tomorrow at the EPU but then I don’t know if it’ll even prove anything anyway really as I’ve been having bloods done & they was doubling good (last results Friday) 3395 xx

HollyT7 profile image
HollyT7 in reply toGreencook

yeah I know its easy for me to say but you won't know what's happening until. your scan anyway. I'd hold out and try as much as you can to enjoy it, sounds crazy I know. but you have your bfp so just look over yourself, as I say, spotting wasnt a sign of anything being wrong for me xxx

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toHollyT7

Thank you ❤️ Yes I’m just going to relax & be as positive as possible xx

HollyT7 profile image
HollyT7 in reply toGreencook

just look at some grim. old. pics and mine was much darker so I'd just put it to implantation /irritation, I can send you some pics if you like 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ x

Greencook profile image
Greencook in reply toHollyT7

Please , things like that don’t make me skerm & it might make me not panic as much xxx

This is so similar to what I’m getting now thanks so much for sharing. Did you say yours was from irritation of the pesseries ? Xxx
