I’m sorry you’re having bleeding. I had two red fresh bleeds at under 6 weeks and a scan at 6 weeks as well as spotting which stopped before my 8 week scan.

I can’t pretend for some people this is not good news but for me and others it was just massively anxiety provoking but without cause.

EPU can scan you from 6 weeks so worth telling your clinic to get referred.

Hopefully your bleeding has stopped now and this is just a blip in an otherwise healthy pregnancy.

Thankyou hun our first cycle we had a bleed around this time had a scan at 6 weeks then again at 7 weeks and it was a non viable pregnancy had to stop all meds then go through the heartache of a miscarriage which resulted me ending up in theater... so I guess I'm just thinking oh here we go again 😪

I’m sorry. I have a history of miscarriages too and completely understand the anxiety.

All I can say is every pregnancy is so different. With the round of Ivf I miscarried I had quite a few pregnancy type symptoms, and no bleeding whatsoever.

I genuinely don’t think you will know anything until you are scanned.

Fingers crossed for you and hopefully someone at EPU can see you soon

Sorry you are feeling so anxious, i understand what you’re feeling

can you book an emergency scan at your clinic ?

I went to A and E as this happened to me then I was taken to the pregnancy unit where I had a scan

Just to reassure you, it may not be a miscarriage. I had bleeding and it turned out to be a hematoma and they said it’s quite normal for ivf pregnancies

So try not to worry and let us know how you get on. Good luck x

did you have pain with the bleed or did it just come out with your wee? If there was no pain could be a haematoma I bled with my little girl and with this pregnancy both times haematoma, bright red blood but no pain. I know how worrying it is to see blood but try not to panic, has it stopped now? X

I’m so sorry your having to go through this.

I had a huge bleed with clots at 5 weeks 4 days, IVF wouldn’t see me until I was 6 half weeks but EPU at my local hospital did. They scanned me and everything was fine. I had another big bleed at 6 weeks 4 days. IVF saw me and upped my medication and put me on bed rest as they could see hematoma.

I stayed under EPU at hospital until 8 weeks 4 days. Now im a week off my 12 week scan, still on high dose of IVF meds.

Keep the hope until your told otherwise ❤️

Hoping everything will go well for you. I had two embryos transferred and bled from around 5 to 13 weeks. All was fine. I have a 20month daughter now :) However I did have two heart beats on the scan, one was a lot slower and didn't make it. 'vanishing twins' and bleeding in early pregnancy is relatively common so think the best for now, everything may well be fine. Hard I know xx

Hey love

So sorry what’s you are going through. Are you having period pain or cramps with the bleeding? I had huge blood clots on 6wk2 days. Went for a scan, everything was fine. If no cramps, it might be some tissues.
