Seriously? Reassure me!

Ok, so lots of questions! I was having some spotting and cramping so they brought me in for another u/s (#4) today and everything was good. I had one last week and the heart rate was 178, today 176 (is that ok it went down?) So I still have a large cyst but they also found a subchronic hemmorage and put me on pelvic rest. Any of you have any experience with SCH's? And what exactly is pelvic rest? I have to go next week for another u/s...I'm afraid I am having too many :( Help!

    My little guys HB has always changed (both up and down) with every appt so I'm sure there is no reason at all for the change. I hear it can vary depending on your day, what you've eaten, etc.

    I was on pelvic rest through week 12 or so which basically for us meant no intercourse.

    No experience with SCH so can't help ya there, but hang in there. I know in the beginning there is SO much going on and you will always need some reassurance.

    IUI#1 - 05/20/08 = BFP! M/C - 14 weeks :( baby girl
    IUI#2 - 01/07/09 = BFP!!! Twins!! Pre-term labor 20 weeks :( lost twin girls
    IUI#3 - 1/31/10 = BFP!!!! M/C - 8wks :( again
    IVF #1 - 7/2010 = c/p
    FET - 9/2010 = another c/p
    IUI#4 - 2/14/11 = BFP!

    Yes! I had an SCH...pretty annoying, sorry you have to deal with it too. I had mine from about week 9 to week 20. I was originally put on pelvic rest, which basically means no sex, orgasm etc. Also just take it easy overall. Some women's SCH's go away within a couple of weeks, some have it for much longer(like me). As long as it's small it shouldn't be too worrisome. Don't worry about having too many u/s!

    Also, the heartbeat will fluctuate, don't worry about that either. Hope your SCH goes away quickly!

    I had a SCH- they found it at my NT scan. Mine was small and they just ordered another u/s at 16 weeks- it was gone by then. I was not put on pelvic rest so I can't help with that. I hope your SCH will resolve quickly!

    I think it's very normal for the HB to vary- my LO's HB has ranged from 150s to 160s.


    After 2 1/2 years TTC, 3 IUI's, endo, and a lap, a surprise BFP brought us Alexandra Marie!

    No experience with SCH, but heart rate dropping ftom 178 to 176 is nothing, I promise. It will fluctuate more than that and it'll be fine. Mine went from the low 140-s to the high 150's the whole pregnancy
