Re: TW *Spotting/Bleeding/Threatened Miscarriage* Thread
My appointment went alright. She didn’t seem overly concerned, but we still don’t know why the spotting is happening. I should get my beta results sometime tomorrow.
@jaxtoby1117 a heartbeat is an excellent sign! Do you have more follow ups coming up, or instructions to message your Dr if the spotting changes to bright red?
I hope it is ok to post here, delete if not allowed. Im new here and in need for some advice as Im driving myself round the bend.
I am not trying to conceive as I am 40 and my partner is 42 and we already have 2 children 14 & 11. However my last period was Dec 15th, I have regular cycles of 30 days and my period always lasts 7 days with a heavy flow. So going to try explain this as simply as possible.
So Dec 26th we had unprotected sex and although he didnt blast his stuff in me as such, there had been pre cum- sorry too much information) so there is a possibility some could have got in. I cant be sure as I dont generally monitor when I ovulate but im sure I was due too ovulate that week somewhere between Tues 26th- Sun 31st. So going by my 30 day cycle I should have been due my period Fri 12th/ sat 13th/ Sun 14th Jan
So this is where it gets weird. From Fri 5th- Sat 13th I was cramping up mildly which is unusual for me to have it that long, I had been feeling nauseous on/ off, tender breasts, emotional, moody, forgetful, bloated, constipated, hot flushes, couldnt sleep feeling abit hungrier than usual, and when Sat 13th came I was convinced my period was coming but nothing.
Sun 14th, Mon 15th and Tuesday 16th no cramps and Wed 17th morning I took a pregnancy test and there was a faint line but it was after the 10 minutes( So doesnt really count)I was sick and then Wed lunch time I started light spotting with very mild cramping in back and stomach more like twinges.
By wed night I started bleeding like the mid flow of my normal period so it was half filling up pads this went on until Thurs afternoon and then it started to get lighter. Then Friday it was still bleeding but not as bad as the day before and I tested again, and again it was a faint positive but after the 10 minutes( So doesnt really count)
By Friday evening it had almost stopped again, then came back again Saturday but lighter than my normal period and completely stopped by Sat night. Woke up this morning and no blood at all, gone all day with no blood and then late this afternoon i cramped a little and theres small amount of blood again.
I ran out of tests so i randomly used a ovulation test last night and a faint line came up and i did another ovulation test this morning and a faint line but darker than yesterdays came up( I know it doesnt necessarily mean im pregnant) but im definitely not ovulating.
Anybody got any advice on what this could be? as im driving myself nuts wondering what the hell is going on.
The likely hood of being pregnant just seems so low as we are both older, his sperm would have had to have hung about a few days if it got in until ovulation. Ive been trying to search online and I see things like chemical pregnancies which is crossing my mind but ive had no pain just mild cramping/ twinges in mid back , tummy aches between my top of belly and my ribs. Ive never had a period this short which stops and starts either Im occasionally still feeling nauseous and my belly and boobs feels different but now im just not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me. Ive been pregnant twice before so i know the symptoms, I also had spotting with my daughter but not this heavy, im also prone to haemorrhaging in labour.
Should i keep testing or just assume its a weird period that was really late?
Has anyone else has something similar?
beta 2 - 14 dp 5 day transfer = 171
beta 3 - 16 dp 5 day transfer = 376
we will go for one more beta on Jan 29th but the nurse was very encouraging that the levels are doubling appropriately.
I don't have my first scan until 11 weeks at the end of February and I'm so worried. Any advice, mommas?
