TMI question about spotting

in Success after IF

I'm so embarrassed to ask, but where else can I?? I maintained my positive attitude for at least 5 hours today, but then...

After I went #2 in the afternoon, the spotting got worse. bright red. not clotty at all, but definitely there, and definitely more than earlier in the day. Can having a bowel movement make bleeding worse b/c of the pushing? If it does get worse b/c of that, do you think it indicates something benign, or something to worry about? Embarrassed

breathe, breathe, breathe.

I'm putting myself on couch rest for the rest of the night - I'll make my husband cook dinner!

    I don't really know but I would imagine that bearing down could make things *move* a little faster on the other side...I'm glad there's no clots or gushes or anything, but it's still scary for sure!

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for you tonight.  And good plan making DH cook dinner!

    I think that pooping can definitely make spotting worse.  When I was having spotting it would always be there after a BM.  The pushing can definitely irritate your cervix.  Just keep your feet up, rest and drink lots of water.  ((hugs)) Hang in there.

    I definitely think that bearing down could make it worse.  I also wanted to let you know that I spotted and had major bleeding until the 7th week of my pg.  It was hell, but in the end everything worked out.  Hang in there, put up your feet, drink lots of water, and take things one hour at a time.  I am pulling for you.
