Tentative Intro & Q re: internal u/s bleeding

Sunny B · November 2014

Hello! I know many of you from the IF board. I'm tentatively dipping my toe in over here. Our first Beta at 10dp5dt was 594 our second was 12dp5dt 1345 I was supposed to have a scan on 5w4d and ended up having one a day early due to watery brown spotting. Things looked good. Two sacs and yolk sacs. I've had brownish pink discharge/ spotting pretty much daily. I had a scan for HB today at 6w4d and we saw two beautiful heartbeats: 120, 115. This evening, I had a bit of a bleed. It was more red this time. Has anyone experienced bleeding after Internal Ultrasounds?

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited to see you here!! I lurk on the IF board, but I missed your BFP! And it's TWINS! Congratulations!!

As for the bleeding, I feel like almost everyone who has joined here recently has had some kind of spotting or bleeding at various points. It could definitely come from the transvag--your cervix at this stage is pretty much a blood balloon, and some ladies even get a bleed after especially (ahem) productive trips to the loo. (Remember that if you're bleeding and you're Rh negative you'll want a Rhogam shot, just in case.) Always tell your OB, but it seems pretty typical for IVF/FET ladies.

Welcome to the board!!!

Welcome to the board!!!

Thanks so much! So happy to see things are going well for you!

I go to my OB on Tuesday for another internal. I'll check into the Rh negative thing ASAP.

Thank you so much for the response!

Yay!! Those are great betas and HB rates! I feel like a high percentage of IF grads experience some spotting. I had a good amount at 7 weeks and then brown spotting for 2 more weeks. But I know the bleeding/spotting sucks!! Are you still going in weekly for a while to keep your mind at ease?

ETA: Just saw you go in Tuesday. Good luck!

What color was your spotting at 7 weeks? This one freaked me out because it was red. BLAH!

Hopefully after Tuesday (if all goes well G-dwilling) I will request one more before the 12week scans! My poor OB. I don't want to drive him crazy right of the bat haha.

Love seeing your little lemon, girl!

At first bright red, then it stopped...then it came back heavier with clotting but a darker red...then it tapered off to just brown spotting. I had an u/s when it was bright red and again when I had some clots, but everything looked good.

Thanks for the info. Glad it's all ok for you!

Congrats! I've had a few bright red bleeding scares. Once at 4wk3d, 6wk6d and a couple days ago at 8wk3d. It normally starts when I pee, then will last about a few hours (light bleeding but red, not enough to fill a pantyliner) and then it seems to taper off and I'll have a bit of brown spotting the rest of the day. The last two times I also passed a small clot. I got checked the day of my worst bleed at 6wk6d and everything was fine, they don't know where it came from. I called yesterday about Sundays bleed and they said its most likely vaginal from the suppositories and since it stopped they don't think I need to come in. Had a great u/s friday, so trying to not worry about it since it happened before and all was fine! So yes, it seems common!

Welcome and congrats on your twins! The spotting could be a little cervical irritation from the ultrasound or could be a small SCH (a pocket of blood at the implantation site) to list a couple of possibilities. Unfortunately, spotting seems quite common with IVF pregnancies and even more so with IVF twin pregnancies.

Sunny B · November 2014

Thanks so much for the reassurance! I so appreciate it.

Welcome & Congrats! To answer your q - YES! After a particularly vigorous internal u/s, I had a gushy bright red bleed with cramping! As others have said, it is unfortunately pretty common round these parts!

I had bleeding (bright red) three times during week 6 and 2 times during week 7. I was diagnosed with an SCH, so I officially had a cause for it. I had brown spotting in between the actual bleeds. But a lot of women have bleeding and no official cause for it.

I was diagnosed with a SCH today. My OB wasn't too worried about it. Was yours the same?

Sunny B · November 2014

@sunshinedaises000 Thank you. They said mine is relatively small. It's long and goes across the top of my uterus. Just praying everything goes well. I'm glad to hear it has worked out well for other ladies and for yourself!

Welcome and congrats! I had a bleed with my DS around 6 weeks the day of the first u/s, but prior to it. It didn't come back after that. Although you'll google otherwise, spotting and some bleeding is rather common and not always a cause for alarm. I'm glad your dr found a cause for yours though. They often don't. Glad to hear everything looks great!

AMShark · November 2014

Congrats & Welcome!

I'm also pregnant with twins from IVF, and I've had spotting of all colors (pink, brown & red). It looks like you found the problem with the SCH. As long as your doc's not worried, you shouldn't be either. I know, SO much easier said than done, but it does get better as time goes on.
