Help, BFP but now bleeding, what do I do?

[ButtercupGarden]

Hi ladies. FET#2, had a BFP on Tuesday (12dp5dt) and tonight (16dp) I've started bleeding suddenly. It seems pretty heavy and has appeared totally out of the blue. Does this mean it is all over? What should I do? It's Saturday night so the clinic is shut! Help please.

I'm so sorry to hear this hun, bleeding is so scary. I've seen lots of stories on here of people bleeding in early pregnancy and things going on to be OK, so hang in there. Are you taking Progesterone? I wonder if your clinic might want you to increase the amount, and it might be worth testing to check your levels.

So scary indeed! Ended up in A&E this morning after a failed experience of calling 111 overnight. The bleeding has stopped and the gynaecologist at the hospital said that it still looked like the sac is there (from an external ultrasound), so at the moment I'm holding onto a ray of hope. Will call the clinic tomorrow to ask for bloods, ultrasound and progesterone tests! I'm on 3x pessaries a day but perhaps that isn't enough? They didn't suggest changing it this time after the MMC I had before but I should have asked the question. It's all such a nightmare but fingers crossed!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Try and stay positive even though I know how difficult and scary this must be. Xx

I'm keeping everything crossed for you hun. If for any reason you weren't able to get a Progesterone level check through your clinic you can get one through one of the online companies like Medichecks, along with HCG, for peace of mind if nothing else.

oh hun, this sounds incredibly stressful, for what it’s worth I have two pals who bled a number of times in there pregnancy and have both got baby in arms now. Apparently it’s more common than we think, scary AF but you got this. Hold on tight ButtercupGarden x

[ButtercupGarden in reply to liftinglady]

Thank you. Got another blood test tomorrow so hopefully will know whether I'm still in the game or not then. Keeping all of my fingers and toes crossed that it was just one of those weird bleeds and that it won't happen again!

So my bloods came back and were pretty positive, 4500 on Sunday and 7800 on Tuesday, so I was feeling a bit better, but then last night I had another huge bleed. I have a scan booked for Friday which seems like an age away. I know a few people have said they have had bleeding and still been successful but it is so hard not to assume the worst.

[liftinglady]

the progression sounds good. It’s so hard not to assume the worst when you have been through what we have. But when looking at it overall knowing others have been where you are and come out the other end positively should be something if you can hold onto that.

What a journey this is, hold on girl, I know you’re going to get through this. Positive thoughts, lots of lie downs when you can and plenty of water.
