Spotting at 6 weeks - any positive stories 🙏

[Kitkat10]

I had a first DE transfer on the 15th October. Had a vomiting bug the following week and 7 days after transfer I had light spotting which lasted about 6 hours on the 22nd October.

Test was BFP at 12 and 13dp5dt on 28th October.

No more spotting and at 5 weeks I had a doubling HCG 1035 - 3694 taken 2.5 days later on the 31st October.

Booked a scan for 6weeks 1 day which is tomorrow but this morning when I went for a wee there was a little blob of blood in the loo and the light spotting lasted again for 6 hours. Seems to have stopped now but I’m terrified and just really sad.

Has anyone had this? I have no cramps. Still seem to have nausea etc. I feel so anxious, I had nothing like this at all with my son. I can’t help but feel hopeless, time is running out for me and I feel so desperate for this to work I can’t focus on anything else 😢 Thank you xx

Sometimes you can have a bit of spotting - may be due to medication [ which encourages blood flow ] or irritation from using pessaries . Will be thinking of you tomorrow - good luck with the scan

Take care

Hi, I will be 11 weeks tomorrow and i have been having spotting on and off from 5 weeks, no explanation for it, and everything is fine. Had my last scan on Monday. Try not worry, i know it can be very stressful and scary.

And congratulations 😊 Let us know how your scan goes x

[Kitkat10 in reply to Leii9]

Thank you so much, congratulations too 💕

Can I ask how frequently you experienced this and how long does it last? Mine is red which worries me more, like red mixed with some mucus. Not much but there when I wipe for most of the morning today. I’m just praying it’s the pessaries but I hope i know more after tomorrow 🤞 thank you again xx

I had it almost every week, it would last a few hours, sometimes 2 days on and off. Last time i had some was just last week.

Colour would vary each time.

I was told that as long as it's not abundant bleeding, and that it doesn't contain clots , then i shouldn't worry.

Thank you do much again

Scan was fine, baby has a heart beat 💕💕💕 so today everything looks fine, so I’m holding onto that until the next thing to worry about 🙏

They could see no reason for the bleed. They told me they scan ladies everyday who have spotting at this stage.

[Leii9 in reply to Kitkat10]

Congratulations again!!! I'm so happy for you 😊 Try and enjoy the pregnancy, and yes, i think the worrying never ends 😅

It's same as me, they couldn't reasons for the spotting.

I will keep an eye on your profile for updates xxx

I had this at 6 weeks! Was light and was on and off over two days - no “flow”. Had another scan and baby was fine, no explanation for the bleeding but my FS said it was pretty common. Fingers crossed for you xx

[Kitkat10 in reply to Whatever098]

Thankyou 🙏

[Kitkat10 in reply to Whatever098]

Thank you so much. My scan today was fine, showed a heart beat so I feel temporary relief 💕💕🙏🙏

[Whatever098 in reply to Kitkat10]

Amazing!!! Congrats, that is awesome. I know it’s hard not to feel anxious, but seeing the heartbeat is a big pregnancy milestone - you’ll be at the next one before you know it 😄 x

Hi,I had this and I now have a 1 month old, so try not to worry. They stopped my Aspirin and increased my progesterone. The scan should help.

Best of luck.

[Kitkat10 in reply to Hopecontinues]

Thank you so much , I might ask about increased progesterone. The scan was fine, heart beat and all looked well 🙏🙏🙏

[Hopecontinues in reply to Kitkat10]

Amazing, that's great news. X

I had a large and painful bleed around this time. It turned out to be a subchorionic haematoma. It resolved itself by the 12 week scan, I just had to take it easy and stop the baby aspirin. Fingers crossed all is well on the scan!

[Kitkat10]

thank you so much, my scan this morning was fine 💕 heart beat visible at 6wk 1 day so I was relieved. They couldn’t see a reason for the bleed but said it was common and go back if I have more 🤞🤞

[Cahoots in reply to Kitkat10]

Congratulations lovely! You might remember we both had our FETs around the same time in May and had the same unfortunate outcome.

So I'm so pleased to see this! 🥰 I'm about to have my next FET too, so hoping for the same outcome as you this time!! 🤞

[Wishinandahopin]

hi lovely, congratulations on your positive and your HCG rising! Spotting and bleeding is extremely common in IVF pregnancies (50% of women who do ivf bleed in early pregnancy).

I had non-stop spotting from weeks 5 till 8, including 3 very heavy bleeds in that time (5+3, 6+3 and 7+0 weeks) I was terrified and consistently thought I was losing baby but my clinic weren’t worried at all and said it was completely normal and a type of implantation bleeding.

So I’m really hoping this is the case for you and gives you some hope! X
