SCH Support Check in 8/14

Erinm278

I'm sorry I was totally out of the loop last week.  I thought we might like another check in..

This thread is for anyone dealing with a Subchorionic hematoma/hemorrhage (SCH) and needs some extra support!

How many weeks are you?

How large is your SCH?

Have you had any bleeding/spotting?

Do you have any restrictions or treatment recommendations?

Anything else you'd like to share?

How many weeks are you? 13w3d

How large is your SCH? I had an appointment last week and the SCH was smaller at about 1 cm and had moved up.  I learned I have a retroverted ute and as it grew and straightened out it the SCH was pushed up.  Hopefully that means its resolving.

Have you had any bleeding/spotting?  Thankfully I haven't had any bleeding or spotting but I had expected to!

Do you have any restrictions or treatment recommendations? I'm still on restrictions which is frustrating.  All of a sudden I just want to have all the sex..hormones + being told you can't!

Anything else you'd like to share? Not really..

14 weeks and some change!

SCH was initially 4.4x2.9 cm. My last scan was Friday and it had bled out completely!

I’ve been bleeding (red then brown, now brown with stringy pieces of the clot) for the past 4.5 weeks. I still have big gushes of brown blood every couple of days. But my doctor isn’t worried since she couldn’t see the SCH anymore. 

Im tentatively off pelvic rest. Still easing back into things slowly. We haven’t had sex yet because I’m still bleeding and feel disgusting, but we could in theory. 

I was just so relieved to have had the knowledge that it could bleed out after my first big bleed. I would have been so afraid about all the garbage coming out of my body if I didn’t know that it could bleed out. I’m still so anxious though. Even when I sweat too much I feel like I need to run to the bathroom to make sure I’m not bleeding. I still wear a liner every day and a pad every night, and think I probably will for a long time.

@BourbonBiscuits so glad it's gone! And interesting to know you can still bleed even if it isn't showing up on a scan. I had kinda decided mine was definitely still there as I am getting spitting but fingers crossed it might not be.

@lokibear89 I know I was surprised when she said it was gone too! The ultrasound tech actually left the room at one point to get my file because she just couldn’t find it and wanted to be sure she knew where to look. The clot pieces still freak me out.

@BourbonBiscuits the first time I saw any I just sat there convinced that was it

Glad to see some ladies are resolving and/or shrinking! So far I don't think anyone has had a bad outcome from an SCH in our group yet? PRaying that continues for all of us!!

How many weeks are you? 13 weeks

How large is your SCH? not sure right now, last scan where it was measured was at 11weeks and it was about 2x2 and down about 50% from its peak, so I was happy. I don't have another appt until 15 weeks and I'm hoping they will at least do the portable U/S so we can see if its still there. I am on pelvic rest, but would also just like to make sure its going away.

Have you had any bleeding/spotting? I really haven't so while I'm hoping its reabsorbing, I'm worried its just hanging out there.

Do you have any restrictions or treatment recommendations? Pelvic rest and no heavy lifting. At least I haven't had to mow the lawn this summer

Anything else you'd like to share? i am debating calling the nurse to see if I should just schedule an official scan to check on it...

How many weeks are you?
14w6d
How large is your SCH?
Just under 6cm in length, unsure of other dimensions 
Have you had any bleeding/spotting?
Yes. This started right after I had chorionic villus sampling (CVS, an early genetic test) at 12 weeks. My water broke (healed itself) and I had bleeding for the next week and a half. No bleeding for a few days, but now I have very light spotting when I wipe after urinating. I just had an US at 14weeks and the SCH is the same size. I go back at 16weeks and pray that it is smaller. It is not on my cervix but right next to it which is very uncomfortable. 
Do you have any restrictions or treatment recommendations?
I am on modified bed rest and also pelvic rest. I have tried to be up and about more but so far this has just resulted in cramping and bleeding so for now I still spend most of the day laying down. My recommendation, listen to our bodies
