Spotting at 6 weeks - any positive stories πŸ™

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

Thank you so much, congratulations too πŸ’•

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 πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’• so today everything looks fine, so I’m holding onto that until the next thing to worry about πŸ™

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

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 πŸ˜„ 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.

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!

thank you so much, my scan this morning was fine πŸ’• 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 🀞🀞

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! πŸ₯° I'm about to have my next FET too, so hoping for the same outcome as you this time!! 🀞

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
