Hi everyone, just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience to me. So I am currently 17 weeks pregnant. Had my 12 week scan as well as a scan at 16 weeks and everything seems fine. I am also low risk.
Prior to this pregnancy I had 3 x miscarriages one after the other that didn't make it past 6 weeks. Had tests done and everyone was fine so this one seems to have stuck.
At 6 weeks I had spotting and have had this throughout on a daily basis. From week 8 I had red blood. This is normally there in the morning when I use the toilet. I would say around 5-10 drops falling into the toilet. The constipation didn't help but that has eased now. No pain with blood and it goes away after the morning and turns into brown spotting again.
I've had this throughout from week 8 to present (week 17). I went to see a consultant and they said it looks like it is coming from my cervix and not internally. So perhaps my cervix is weak I'm not sure. He said I could take cyclogest which can help with the bleeding. But it's my choice. In a nutshell he said to monitor it and see how it goes.
I am in two minds about taking it. Baby is fine, placenta is fine, I'm fine...just this odd bleeding every few days. Some studies have shown it's reduces the chances of miscarriage but there's insufficient data on this plus I'm not having a miscarriage so I don't want to think that way. Not to mention any side affects I will get from it.
What are your thoughts?
