Bleeding at 7 weeks pregnant, baby is fine on scan though.

[CyclingAddict]

Hi All,

I had some bleeding at 7 weeks pregnant and was convinced I was having a miscarriage as it was quite heavy. I got scanned and found out it was a hemorrhagic gestational sac that had ruptured and baby looked fine (which was reassuring). Apparently it's fairly common in IVF pregnancies and I stopped bleeding after a day. Has anyone else experienced this? (I also wanted to write about my experience because I wish someone had told me about hemorrhagic sacs - it might've saved me the heartache of thinking I'd lost another pregnancy!).

hello, thank you for sharing your experience and I’m really pleased to hear the baby is well. Sending love for your pregnancy x

I started bleeding around 11 weeks. It was really scary, I ended up in the ER in the middle of the night because they thought it was a misscariage but the baby was fine. At my NT scan they found a big hematoma (10*3cm). A few weeks after I started bleeding again and had some clots. The biggest was the size of my palm. I checked for a heartbeat with the doppler and everything was fine. The next day they found out the hematoma got a bit smaller (7*2cm). I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant.

this happened to me at 7 weeks, passing clots and having cramping, scanned 3 days later and baby was fine they said likely a haematoma caused by the transfer process which is more traumatic to our uterus than we imagine. Baby is now a healthy 2 year old 😊

I had this and I bled a few times before it finally cleared so please don’t worry if the bleeding does start again as every time it happened to me I was absolutely terrified. It went on from 5-10 weeks for me and then it was gone on scans as after that it was a healthy pregnancy and baby 🥰 wishing the same for you xx

I bled from weeks 5- 8 consistently and everything was fine. 29 weeks now 😊 It’s terrifying at the time and very hard to take reassurance from the fact it’s surprisingly common! x

I bled at 5 and 4 days and I couldn't get a scan until I was six weeks. Very common in ivf and the lady who did my scan was able to tell me I had another bit of blood thatight come out so when it happened again I was better placed to deal with it. From reading the forums it does happen quite a lot and although they do tell you at the clinic it never prepares you for when it happens to you!! Good luck with your pregnancy!! ❤️❤️
