Pregnant after IF

F/u to bleeding - we have a heartbeat!

After my scary day of bleeding yesterday DH and I were very, very nervous for the u/s this morning. But, everything looked ok and we saw/heard the heartbeat for the first time! The dr didn't measure the rate but said it looked good. The baby was measuring 6w2d, which is one day behind but she said that was fine. We were so relieved.

She couldn't find any explanation for the bleeding; she didn't think it was a SCH but not sure why. I'm just having some minor spotting now when I wipe and am working from home today so I can keep my feet up. I'm just praying it doesn't happen again. I'm trying to relax but I feel like every time I'm about to something like that happens to make me nervous again...

Thanks for all your support yesterday!

  • Ohhh yayayayayay!! Congrats!! I bet you anything it was implantation bleeding. I didn't realize it when I was TTC but my RE said that usually happens weeks 5-7 when the LO is still burrowing into the uterine lining. And gals like us who have undergone IF tx are way more likely to experience it because our linings are so thick and blood rich from all the drugs we're given. Congrats again and this terrific news!!

    I'm actually on PIO shots. They told me I could switch because my butt is very sore and lumpy, but honestly I'll take the shots any day over the risk of more bleeding!

  • I'm glad the baby is fine.  Even w/o SCH for some reason we IVFers seem to be bleeders.  Of course you'll freak out if you see blood again.  But just know it happens and that your baby can survive it.  (((HUGS)))

  • That is such great news!!! I really hope the spotting was a one-time thing and won't come back (I had something similar around the same time, they never knew what caused it).

  • Awesome news, I'm so happy for you!  We never got a measurement b/c our RE's machine couldn't do that and they said it was too early to really matter... all that mattered was that it was beating!  Congrats!

  • Fantastic news!!

  • i just saw your other post and I know exactly what you were going through.  I had some really scarey bleeding before my 1st u/s and was positive it was over with the amount of bleeding I had.  But things were ok.  I'm so sorry you had to go thru that.  It is not fun.  rest up and I hope the bleeding stops soon.  So glad to hear your LO is doing well.
