Pregnant after IF

I'm on bedrest

The bleeding picked up again last night. It's not a huge amount, but when I go to the bathroom there is consistently blood in the toilet (sorry TMI). Then I had another clot this morning. I talked to the doctor and she didn't seem overly concerned, but told me not to go to work until I have had no bleeding for 48 hours. I feel like at this rate I could be home for weeks... and of course I'm still scared. She also said it could be exacerbated by my being on Lovenox, but since everything seems to be going well with the baby they don't want to change anything and take me off it.

I know many of you posted bleeding success stories the other day and I'm not having cramping so I take that as a good sign, but this is still just like torture. I don't know what to think.

  • I'm so sorry you have to deal with bleeding. I had bleeding and cramping for a while from SCH in the first tri. It is so scary and stressful. ((hugs)) and rest up :)

  • So sorry! I hope you get some rest, and the bleeding stops immediately.
  • I'm sorry, I can't imagine how nerve-wracking seeing bleeding must be.  I hope the bedrest helps clear it up soon!  Keep focused on that little beating heart you saw yesterday!  :)

  • I'm so sorry about the bleeding -- it is always really scary.

    I bled during 1st tri, and had a major bleed at 16 weeks. Apparently, my dose of Lovenox was slightly too high. There is a blood test your doctor can order to make sure your dose is right. Maybe you can bring that up at your next appointment? Just a thought. Hang in there!

  • I'm so sorry, I know how scary the bleeding is having just been through it a few days ago.  I really hope yours subsides and you can relax a little with your healthy little one growing happily inside :)
