Hi
Can anyone help. I have had some bleeding today, it was not enough to be a period but a bit more than spots. It has eased off a bit now and is more like spotting now. Was a wee bit red but mainly brownish.
I had a positive result on Tuesday 133, then a further blood test on Friday 699. It is coming up for 3 weeks since the embryos went back.
Called the hospital, they said to leave work and go home and rest, I was so upset and frightened when I saw it. Need to go for another blood test in the morning, the hospital also said that the bleeding was not necessarily a miscarriage.
Am really frightened though, has anyone else experienced this.
Please help
Wendy

Hi Wendy,
Just wanted to say I had bleeding for 2 weeks & like you was in a right state. Just take things easy, you need to rest. that is really important. I had spotting from week 9 & bled also which completely stopped at week 12. I am 16 weeks now & everything is fine, had scan last week, so try not to worry too much, but if it gets heavier then get to docs to get checked over just to give you peace of mind. But you really do need to rest.

Wendy PLEASE try not to panic - my clinic told me that something like 85% of people bleed a bit after the 2WW and a positive. Sorry to be a bit blunt - but you have been jabbed about a bit - and there might just be a bit of aftermath.
Good luck with the bloods am quite sure it will all be fine
Take it very easy and try to be optimistic - you have every reason to!
Take care

Hi
Thanks for all your posts, I really don't know what I would do without you all, when I first came home from work I was convinced it was all over but after reading all your stuff I feel much more positive and think there is still a chance everything will be ok. The bleeding has eased off and its just brown very light spotting now, still no pain. I am hoping that if I go through the night without anymore that things might be ok. Hopefully the result of the blood test tomorrow afternoon will be fine.
I hope I am just over reacting, which considering what we all go through to get here in the first place is maybe understandable.
Thanks again, will be in touch tomorrow

hi Wendy,
Just to tell you I bled twice during this pregnancy and was in quite a panic both times, once around 6 and once around 9 weeks I think (might have even forgotten by now) but was fine really, I am almost 34 weeks now. Try not to worry, well I did worry like hell all the time but if the beelding is subsiding it's really a very good sign, juts have a good rest and it will be ok!

Hi
I had my blood test and the result was 3046, so the hospital think that everything is fine.
Its a huge sigh of relief, but will not feel 100% until I have my first scan on 8th September.
My dh thinks 3046 is a wee bit low as we were 133 last tues, 699 on friday. He expected nearer 4000, but I am sure if the hospital were concerned at all they would have asked mr back for another blood test.
Thanks again for all the posts

hihi wendy, im sure if there was any doubt the hospital would have said,
try and take the positives from what they have said and box the
negative thoughts (so easy to say i know) yes its going to be a mentally
tough couple of weeks till the scan, but the best u can do is take it easy
a lot of the girls on here including me were never given levels all we did
was a home test and was told if it was +itve then u were pregnant so
there was no scrutinizing of no.s which i think gets your head in a spin,
I hope you and your dh enjoy the bank holiday weekend, just think
u will soon have the sickness, being tired etc all to come will look forward
to hearing all about it. take care alisonn

As the others have said, PLEASE PLEASE do not panic, I bled before test day, and from week 7-14 and am a Mummy to 20 week old Megan, so don't fear the worst.
Mine ranged from brown/red spotting, to heavier bleeding, so all I did was rest up, drank lots, and I even went to a chinese herbalist and got a brew, which helped my body to accept the pregnancy, rather than reject it - if that makes sense?
If you need any more advice, please feel free to drop me a separate email, and I will give you a contact number etc, but bleeding is so common, so try and chill out and take care.

Wendy,
Have been with my head in the clouds of late, I hadn't caught up with your news..That's sooo good!!..I'm so happy for you Wendy.
As the other girls have said, your numbers are great, bleeding is common (my best friend had a huge amount of blood between week four and five of her pregnancy, she was convinced it was all over, her bub is now nine weeks old and very healthy). Easier said than done I know, but do try to de-stress, will be fine.
I so look forward to hearing your scan news, and news of bubby developing and growing!

Wendy,
Was so sorry to hear your news. Is an awful time Wendy, be kind to yourself, take it easy and gently, and when you're ready go again. It gave me great hope to know that I could fall pregnant on IVF after my miscarriage, I took that as a really positive sign and came into my next cycle a little more positively.
I'm thinking of you

Wendy,
I can't stop reading this thread. I go back to it every few days. I've been bleeding too, every couple of days. I am terrified and feel horrible. I've spent the whole holiday weekend fighting with DH and feeling depressed. I am trying to schedule a blood test tommorrow, but I have to say that my case sounds a lot like yours.
I don't think I can ever do this again. I hope things are feeling a little better for you by now. You give me hope that I can get through this regardless of the result.

Try and stay calm, they do say bleeding is very normal. I only freaked out after really heavy bleeding, it was running everywhere and the clots I had were a variety of sizes but the biggest was about the size of my fast and one solid one the size and shape of my thumb.
I can totally understand how you are feeling, I fought with Martin as well because with the second bleed I called him and made him come home from work to take me to the hospital and he thought I was over reacting, till he saw the blood when they did the internal scan.
Have you looked at the other post bleeding again, loads of people had loads of blood and most all went on to have a healthy pregnancy.
Please try not to worry and try not to fight with your dh it won't make you feel any better. My Hcg levels had still gone up on the Friday it wasn't till they tested and scanned me on the Monday that they found anything wrong.
Have you had any clots or pain?
I had an appointment today and we are going to do it again before the end of year, m/c is so common but getting pregnant from IVF is a miracle which hopefully can repeat itself.
My heart goes out to you, don't lose hope. Feel free to come back with any other questions. I'm just going for a bath but won't be too long, post here or on the pm bit.
Lots of Love & Hugs

Wendy,
Thank you SO much for your reply. It really helps me feel less alone with all of this. Actually, I have not had clots and hadn't had any pain until last night, but it seems to have subsided today.
I'm so glad to hear that you will try again soon. I really feel like this is the last go for us because it has been so confusing. It is a relief to know that we won't necessarily always feel this way. I'm feeling a little better also knowing that I may get some reassurance tommorrow with the blood test.
Thank you,
Alicia
