Re: (TW) Spotting Support Thread

  • @megmac2010 fingers crossed for you. I had IVF too and that's exactly when I had the same bleeding and they said I had a subchorionic hemorrhage.  They checked on baby and everything was fine. The bleeding stopped completely within 24 hours and no more recurrences. I read some articles and my hematologist confirmed SCH are more common in women with IVF, which I wish my fertility specialist had mentioned... I hope all turns out well like it did for me ❤

  • I went in for a blood draw yesterday when the bleeding started. It came back good, over 20,000. Going back in on Monday for a repeat. This is going to be a loooooong weekend. 
  • I have had a very scary start. At 5.4 I started with pink spotting then by the next day it was full on bleeding. I have had 3 MC so assumed the worst and cancelled an early ultrasound I had at 7 weeks. But after a few days I still had no cramping just medium bleeding so I called to get an early ultrasound to see what was going on. Turned out my little sticky was fine but there is a lot of blood in my uterus so I was given the diagnosis of a threatened MC. That was on 3/28 and today it has finally slowed down and is only pink. I hope when I go for a recheck on Thursday all is still well and I’m done bleeding. Any bleeding or spotting is so scary. I hope everyone gets positive results. But man is the waiting and limbo period so hard. 
  • @JocelynMH14 I'm so glad baby is doing good. Hopefully your bleeding/spotting stops for good. Did they say you have a SCH? 
  • Glad to hear @JocelynMH14 !
    I started spotting a bit tonight after a BM and a walk, I felt a small gush and saw some everytime I wiped. I've been lying down for a few hours and went and checked again and it's brown now and way lighter. Hoping that goes away!!
  • It's pretty much stopped now (thankfully) just a light brown when I wipe. Is this common?? Kind of worried to go to work tomorrow.
  • @swedishmeatball some spotting can be very normal. Brown is always a good color. It means it's old blood. I would just drink as much water as you can to stay hydrated and rest as much as possible. 

    I had some spotting when I wiped with DD2. I only had it one time and never saw it again. 

    I'm glad it has stopped. Spotting can be so scary. Hugs! 
  • @emeraldcity1214 Thank you for that! Also called the nurse hotline and they said not to worry at that point. 
    Hopefully that doesn't happen again, I can't handle the stress!! 
  • Had my ultrasound last week and got to see a heartbeat!! Although they measured the bean at 6w when I should have been 7w by LMP. 

    Trying not to worry about the dating because the heartbeat was good and strong! Although I am of course still worrying...

    also still spotting daily! It’s been 3 weeks of spotting now!
  • @Kaydub7 That's awesome news!! That's all that matters! I did so much googling last night when I started spotting and can't believe how much women spot from week 5-10! Sometimes the whole time in the first trimester. Not fun! But so glad you have seen your little bean!
  • @Kaydub7 I'm glad your US went well. Hopefully the spotting stops soon. 
  • No they didn’t say anything. Honestly it was so fast and the doctor that came in was very rude. I actually emailed my midwife today to ask if that was in the report. 
  • That’s great to hear. Usually brown blood is old blood and it slowing down is a great sign! 
  • I understand that worrying is so hard not to do but try and stay positive. I have been spotting and bleeding off and on for 9 days. When is your next check? 
  • Of course as soon as I write my post, I started having bright red bleeding which I haven’t had for 2 weeks. It’s stopping now but I am worried sick all over again.
  • @Kaydub7 when is your next appointment? Just take it easy and lay around if you can. Drink lots of water and think positive. 
  • @Kaydub7 FXd it’s nothing!
  • @megmac2010, how did your appointment today go?

  • Had some more spotting today and I'm so jumpy after the good amount of bleeding I had on 3/18 for my SCH. It was definitely pink spotting when i went to the bathroom. My stomach sank...I didn't want another SCH. My office couldn't get me in today and I have instructions to go to the ER if the bleeding picks up and I have an ultrasound for noon tomorrow (I already had another follow up scheduled for 8 weeks on Wednesday) for peace of mind. They didn't seem concerned at all - especially when (sorry if it's TMI!) I told them I had a large bowel movement a few hours prior to the spotting. It does seem to have slowed down, thank god! Now it's just old blood spotting. Still keeping my fingers crossed. I hate this...it is SO DRAINING!
  • @alwayseloquent I'm sorry your spotting again. I really hope you haven't developed another SCH. 
  • @emeraldcity1214 I hope not too... they just checked me last Wednesday and said there were no signs of another one, but if it happened again, then I guess I will just have to accept it! Staying hopeful.
  • @musicgal05 thanks for checking in! I had a beta draw yesterday and it came back at 31000. So it’s still going up! I have an ultrasound scheduled on Friday, so I’m all butterflies until then. But the morning sickness has hit hard so I’m fairly confident I’m still pregnant. 
  • @alwayseloquent fingers crossed for you! It really is so draining to be this worried all the time. 
  • @JocelynMH14 I’m going to see my doctor on Thursday and hope she will send me for another ultrasound. I wish I could have an ultrasound every day just to see what’s going on in there ;)
  • I agree, the next ultrasound is at 20 weeks!!! I can't wait that long! 😂
  • @Kaydub7 if I can just make it to 8 weeks I will start using my Doppler and hope for the best. I go have an Ultrasound Thursday to see if my little heartbeat is holding on.. my spotting has turned like watered down brown so hope that’s a good sign. Let me know how your appointment goes!! 
  • @megmac2010 great to hear!! The morning sickness struggles make me feel the same way... so annoying, but comforting in a weird way!

  • @jocelynMH14 I'm so sorry for your loss. 
  • So sorry to all the ladies who had a loss. It’s almost 2 years since my miscarriage and my husband and I have been trying since. We are finally pregnant! Of course I freaked when I started to have tannish pink discharge this morning. Our RE is not concerned and said just to watch it and rest. But man does it have me worried!! I go Wednesday for my ultrasound and we are praying all is well with our little miracle!
  • @Kimbrlyg814 FX you will have a good scan. 
  • Having some bleeding today. Wiped and saw some brown and then wiped some more and had red. Hoping I just irritated my cervix somehow. I’m so paranoid this pregnancy and it’s my 3rd. Hoping it’s nothing 🤞🏻
  • Ok it seems to have stopped for now but having some minor cramping. Ugh. 
  • @ameliabird811 I'm so glad the spotting stopped. Hopefully it won't start up again. 
  • @ameliabird811 glad it’s let up, hopefully the cramping stays mild
