Spotting for four days now - is it all over?

[purplepanda4]

I’m 6 weeks today and this is day 4 of on and off brown / pink spotting. Until this morning it had all been pretty light but this morning I had a more heavy episode which has now stopped as soon as it started so I’m so confused!

My clinic said earlier in the week just to keep taking meds and up my progesterone as my scan isn’t booked in until 7+3 but I just really want to know what’s going on! I don’t want to keep plying my body with all these meds if I don’t need to. Do you think this is it for me? Am I justified to ask them to do hcg or an earlier scan which they seem reluctant to do? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Sorry for what you are going through, Hopefully if bleeding stopped, that’s a good sign. Bleeding in early pregnancy is very common. I’ve been in a similar position and went to my local EPU for a scan on the NHS. They were lovely, unfortunately it was not good news in my case. But, I have seen on here how many people this has happened to who have gone one to have a healthy pregnancy. Maybe contact clinic again and see if one of the doctors will see you. It feels like a lifetime to wait another week. Xx

Thanks Kmcdon. I’m sorry for your loss ❤️

I’ve managed to get a scan for tomorrow morning so hopefully I will get some answers one way or another. I think some of the posts on here have been hanging on to a slim bit of hope but I’m also trying to be realistic too. Xx

I absolutely know the feeling only too well so sending you positive vibes and wishing you all the best. Even in worst case scenario I always found it better to know than keep wondering. Sending love. Let me know how you get on. Xxx

thank you for the love - it means so much. Xxx

I was going to say push for a scan at 6 weeks, it should give you some answers - and then I can see in your replies you've got one for tomorrow, which is good. thinking of you x

*Sensitive* to update you and for anyone else who comes across this post in future. We were able to see a little bean and the flicker of a heartbeat. However in there along with it is a large clot / adhesion that could still threaten its progress as it looks like it’s attached. So in another 10 days I have to go back and see and hope that the bean has grown and the adhesion has shrunk….

Hi purple, how do you feel? I'm so pleased he/she is growing away in there still - I know blood is so normal in IVF pregnancies and really happy things are still progressing. Take it easy this next week and really hope things move in the right direction at your next scan!

[purplepanda4 in reply to minnesota_girl]

feel very lucky to have seen a heartbeat as I know not everyone gets to this point even and it’s our first time to have got to this stage. Holding onto hope that things will go in the right direction in the next week and a bit. Also think morning sickness, or in my case early evening sickness 🤷🏼‍♀️🥴 has kicked in the past couple of days xx

Really hope the next scan goes ok for you. Thinking positive thoughts!🤞🏻💕🤞🏻💕

Thank you so much - keep everything crossed that little bean hangs on in there xxx

Hey purplepanda4, how are things now? Did your bleeding stop and was your little bean still ok at the next scan? I'm in a similar position with bleeding and also low beta. I'm only 5 weeks so it's a waiting game. Hope things are progressing nicely for you xx

Hi Star38. I had spotting on and off until week 7 and now I’m 8 weeks 2/3 days with fingers crossed nothing for about a week. My pregnancy is a complicated one - I have a lesion of some sort in my uterus with the pregnancy. I am having weekly scans to monitor the size of both baby and the lesion. Thankfully on today’s scan baby is measuring where it should be with a good heartbeat and the lesion seems to have gotten smaller. They are unsure at this stage what exactly it is (partial molar/a bleed of some sort/something completely different). Still a very long way to go but taking it one day at a time. Wishing you all the very best for your pregnancy and crossing everything for you xxx

Thank you so much for your reply. That's great your no longer bleeding. Wishing you all the best in your pregnancy too and hoping baby continues to grow strong and healthy and the lesion gets smaller and goes away. Xxx

*VERY SENSITIVE TRIGGER*

I know how often (even until very recently) I would scroll back and forwards through these posts looking for updates and some hope. So I thought that I would come back to update and say that the little bean mentioned in this post is my DD who was born 4 days ago and is doing great. So please don’t give up your hope!
