Bleeding (Update at bottom)

I am 6wks3days and I started spotting over the weekend. I was sure it was all over again, b/c that's how it started last time....

So I take myself to bed, and wait. It goes away. I convince myself that it's fine, normal, whatever.

Go to work yesterday and in the afternoon I go to the bathroom and my liner is full of bright red blood. (sorry TMI) Now I am sure that I am m/c again because last time I spotted for a day and then started bleeding heavier....within 3 hours of seeing blood like this last time I was bleeding heavily and cramping.

So I cry, pull myself together (I am a teacher so I had to finish out the day.) I call the doc after school, and the nurse says she is sorry, that this is why the doc says to wait 3 cycles (which she DID NOT!!!) They schedule me to come in for an U/S today to make sure it's all proceeding okay...

I drag my butt home, clean myself up, crawl into bed waiting for the cramping to start.....and the bleeding just stops. Totally gone. No cramps, no blood.

I have no clue what is happening. Chat Icon

ETA - I don't know why the nurse mentioned the 3 months to you.
Not waiting/ waiting doesn't guarantee anything.

Re: Bleeding

There was a blog I read about a woman who bled heavily off and on throughout the whole first trimester, and everything was fine. For some people, it's normal. I know it's hard because you experienced this once before, but try not to worry/be sad until you have to.Chat Icon Chat Icon

First of all I am so sorry you are going through all this. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon .

Can I share my personal story with you? When I was around 8 weeks pregnant - and didn't know I was pregnant at that time yet - I was standing at the ice cream shop and felt a trickle running down my leg (SORRY BUT TMI COMING UP). I looked down and saw bright red blood curling all the way down to the floor. I panic, run out of there and get to my car. I lift up my skirt and notice my underwear is just completely soaked with bright red blood. I get home, run to the bathroom, sit on the toilet and more blood and even little clots. At this point I am in hysterics, counting back days/months trying to figure out if I am pregnant. I keep bleeding what feels like gallons of red blood for about an hour. I clean up, crawl into bed, and just try to calm down. The next day I go to the doctor (bleeding totally stopped at this point), tell them what happened and say I may have been pregnant but didn't know - but given all the blood I thought there was no way I could be anymore. They did an ultrasound, told me to be prepared to see nothing, but what I saw instead was a flickering heartbeat. The doctor said the excessing bleeding may have been caused by - please forgive me because I don't remember exactly what she said since I was in shock that I was pregnant - either a dip or surge in progesterone levels (I don't remember which one). Nine months later I had my healthy baby boy.

I guess what I am trying to tell you is don't think the worse yet - hang in there till you go see your doctor!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Bleeding

Thanks everyone.Chat Icon I think it's coming back- just went to the bathroom and there was more bright red blood and some small clots (TMI).

I can't believe this is happening again. I don't know why I came to work today- I have to try and keep it together for 26 10 year old when all I want to do is curl up and cry right now.

I will update tonight when I get home.Chat Icon

Re: Bleeding

Just got home from the doctor- let's just say it wasn't exactly how I dreamed my first sonogram would be....

Basically, she couldn't find anything in my uterus. As in, no fetus. At all. She found what she thinks is the beginning of a sac, but it was tiny- not even a centimeter. She said that it is a sac, it looks to be under 5 weeks. So, she thinks my O date might have been late, or it's another m/c OR it's ectopic but she says she doesn't see any signs of that.

The thing is, I know my O date wasn't late because I was using digital OPKs. And I spotted in my O day just like I always do......

So they drew blood to check my progesterone levels and I go back to get more blood drawn on Friday. I will know for sure on Saturday, but in my heart I already know. Ugh.

I will keep you in my prayers and hope for the best. Will you get your progesterone levels tomorrow? This way if they are low they can get you on progesteron supplements rather than ahving to wait a few days?

I would definately ask about your progesterone levels and then ask about being put on suppliments for your next cycle. If she saw a sac in your uterus, chances are this is not an ectopic pregnancy.

I'm so sorry you are going through this.
