Help please!

Post by Kel »

Morning Girls,

Really need some help if anyone can??
Feeling very worried and so upset... Don't know what's going on but started spotting today but it's not like normal AF.. I am trying to convince myself it is implantation bleeding but I am so so worried and just don't know... I am on day 9 of 2WW, and the thing is I had another down reg injection 3 ish weeks ago and they last 5 weeks so I didn't I could get AF with that in my system??
Right so sorry for doing the horrid tmi bit, but just desperate to know if anyone has had implantation bleeding what it looks like? It's not really like blood as very thick but is a bit reddish (so sorry for that). Has anyone else had this?? I don't have normal AF symptoms either but everythings all weird anyway at the moment and I have been very emotional for 3 days now... I am praying soo hard and hoping it goes away. I don't test until Thursday and DH is at work :cry:
Any help would be so appreciated - thanks so much..

Kel - the same thing happened to me! I thought I was getting AF about 1 week after FET, called the doctor's office, told them, and they said it could be the implantation bleeding so still come in on the test day. Low and behold - I got a BFP!!!! I was pregnant with triplets, sadly lost one around 8 weeks and now I have identical twins that are due on 12/15/04.

Please be positive - easier said than done - but the good news is that for the first ICSI cycle - I did not have implantation bleeding and tested negative for that cycle. In March we did a FET and YEAH - it was implantation bleeding! It was a little red, not too much, but it looked like the beginning of AF...

Keep your chin up - think positive! Good Luck!! Have you had this spotting for 3 days?

Denise,

Thank you so much for replying and congratulations on your BFP!
It just started this morning, I am so trying to be positive but it's shaken me up so much and was feeling low anyway! I am hoping it is easing a bit but I don't want to speak to soon...
Thanks again so much for your positive vibes - I need that right now!
Wishing you lots of luck with your twins!

Hi Kel, you know I'm with Loopy and have a good, strong, positive feeling about your tmt.

Loads of people have bleeding then ++++++ in fact I read yesterday Day.8 is usual for implantation spotting so you'd be right there! With my failed cycle I started my AF in exactly the same way as I would have usually ie. not red to start with, slow start, got heavier and redder and lasted 5 days. It was a bog-standard AF from start to finish.

Does what you have/had look like your regular AF? What about how you feel? cramps/bloating/backache/boobs vs. normal??

Chin up sweetie, you're only a few days away!
love
Debra.

Hi Kel

Oh poor you, you sound like you are in such a panic. It could very well be implantation bleeding. There are no hard and fast rules as th when the embies embed and from what you describe it really does sound like it. Like others have said and me also we have a very good feeling about you so please do try not to worry. Hopefully you will have a good day with your Mum today she will try to take your mind off it.

I had exactly the same sort of thing when I got my positive with Katelyn and I thought it was game over.

Take care Kel and keep up the PMA!!!!!

Lots of love Dagny xkx

Sorry I can't speak from experience, but from what the others have said this bleeding is nothing to be worried about, easy for me to say I know :)

Thinking of you

Kel,

I have to agree with the other girls. This very well could be implantattion bleeding. I had a few spots and this continued weeks after I had my positive. I am 8 weeks pregnant with twins. They say it is common for some spotting.

Good luck for your test day and keep positive.

Girls,

I just want to say thank you all so much for being there for me and for all your messages. You are all amazing and I could not have gone through this without you..
But, unfortunately for us it's over... So hurt and gutted... It was AF although it played a cruel trick and went away for a whole day so it had me really believing it was implantation and started to feel positive after an awful weekend.. Luckily I was at my Mums when it all happened and I knew it was over. The most heart renching thing I have ever had to do was tell my DH who'd gone off to work so happy and positive that it was not happening and I think that is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.. But we'll get through this I know, because we are so close, but it's just very raw at the moment..
We're going away tonight for a couple of days in a B&B on the coast just to clear our heads and get out of the house.. Then we've got a review appointment on Friday which is very quick, but I really want some time to not think about this, I don't think we gave ourselves enough time to get over the ectopic in Feb, we jumped straight into this a few weeks after..
I was hoping I wouldn't be able to go, but now I'll be playing at a festival in Hungary next week, at least it will keep me busy..
I just want to wish everyone so much luck at every stage you are at - all the JCB's and all of you that have helped me through this, you are all stars and you inspire me to keep going... We won't give up... But I am so sorry I don't think I can be on here for a while because it's too hard, but I want you to know I am rooting for all of you and will be thinking of you too....
Thanks again special buddies,
Kel xx

Kel,

I really wish I could say something to make you feel better. I know how hard it is. Going away for the night with DH is a great idea. Just try your best to keep busy. Do all the things you couldn't do during treatment. I'm glad you're not giving up. You will get there eventually. Unfortunately, I guess it just takes some of us longer than others.

Take care of yourself.

Kel :cry:

I'm so sorry. I know you might not read this but wanted you to know how much I'm thinking about you. It's just 100% crap sometimes.

There are some positive spins but they'll seem pointless right now. Your clinic already know so much about your tmt that next will be easier esp. dosages etc. You know most people have several goes before striking lucky. You'll be there too.

Try to enjoy the festival and I hope the time away with DH helps a little.

love
Debra.
