Hi Ladies,
I'm looking for some advice... I'm currently going through a MC after my first IVF cycle. I was about 4 - 5 weeks I think. I started spotting 6 days ago (13dp5dt) and the bleeding, clots, and cramping just got worse as the week progressed. I had a blood test on Tuesday, which indicated my levels had still risen appropriately, but I knew inside that things were going downhill. Later that day my bleeding and cramps only intensified. I had another blood test yesterday and a quick exam. We were still clinging to hope because the RE said heavy bleeding can still result in a healthy pregnancy, but deep down I knew that wasn't going to be the case for us. The numbers showed a decline. I have a cycle follow up with my RE on Wednesday and another blood test on Friday to make sure my levels are back to 0. Overnight the bleeding has really picked up. I checked in with my doctor's office and am told due to the significant decrease in my levels, everything is normal. I'm just curious as to how long this might go on? My level dropped from 900s to 100s in three days... Surely this has to almost be over right? My cramps are manageable with Tylenol, but this bleeding is making me feel chained to the house! We have a family function to attend today and I really don't want to miss it... But it's miserable to have this constant bleeding. I've basically been on bed rest for a week, hoping things would improve, but the inevitable was already happening. I can't stand laying around the house anymore. I'm ready to move forward with things and get back to living life, but just wish this bleeding would stop! Or at least taper off... I've been bleeding for a week already. Any experience, ideas, or thoughts are welcome...
