Please do stick around Sebs. I'm afraid I'm not much use in the knowledge front, but I am happy to offer Cake and support that you hopefully won't need! I would definately mention all of this to the doctor, put on the crazy woman act, tears and hysterics, and tell him you need to know what is going on, if it is going to end you need to know asap so you can move forward and look to the future. But I am hopeful it will all be ok, especially now the bleeding has stopped.

Yep I will definitely mention the bleeding to the doctor and say there was dark red as well as brown. He is the one who wasn't particularly interested about my fertility concerns last week so I'm not sure if he will refer me, if not I think I will try and self refer and see if they will do an early scan. Otherwise I will go private for some peace of mind xxxx

These are my tests so far, line is defo getting darker I think pray

Sorry you are going through all this worry Sebs. You know we are all thinking of you and hoping this will be ok. I would say the fact you got an early bfp and line is getting darker is a v good sign against EP, but they are all different. I would definitely mention fear of EP to doctor, or even better call EPU directly and self refer. They won't usually scan before 5/6 weeks but can monitor HCG which would give early indications of issues.

Definitely stay with us until you are more confident. We are all rooting for you.xx

I've decided to come off the antenatal thread for the time being as I just don't feel confident this is going to be ok. So I might hang around a little bit longer if that's ok.

I would rather it ended quicker if it's going to end and let me get back on the TTC road and moving forward.

That's good re the line. Mine was always quite faint with the last pregnancy so sound like yours is just getting settled in. Fx you won't need those sanitary products xxx

Thanks fed up xxx

Well last night was interesting. No more bleeding but I was up at 12, went to bed again after I'd gone downstairs, watched TV, had a milky drink. Then somehow I slept till about 6am. So not too bad.

Think I'll be able to deal with today a little better as I can at least go to the shops and stock up a bit on sanitary products. The line on the HPT was a lot darker this morning, so that's reassuring.

It's a waiting game now Confused

Yeah it's usually a six week scan to determine location but at 5 weeks of you are very concerned they can usually see it. Yes, at 15 dpo you will be 4 weeks preggo now. It does sound good that it's all subsided on pant watch, fx sebs.

With the bleeding doctors norm do suggest scans just to rule out ectopic but he might not if the bleeding has stopped (that's a good thing tho) I'm which case I would pay for an early one at 7 or 8 weeks for piece of mind!!

sebsmummy1 · 17/01/2014 00:16

I fell asleep and then woke up thinking it was morning and I've only been asleep an hour and a half. Long night I think!!

The ectopic thing really scares me particularly since they symptoms seem so sketchy really. Well nothing else is happening on pant watch. Had a little bit of stringy dark brown mucous but otherwise the panty liner is pretty clean.

I just don't feel I can start trying to have a scan so early. I conceived 2 weeks ago, so I guess they'd say I was around 4 weeks? I don't think they'd even see anything would they? I have a docs appointment on Wed so if I'm still pregnant I will tell him about the early bleeding and see if they will do a six week scan. It's the same doc who laughed me put the room before so I don't hold out too much hope!!

Mum and I had such aovely day yesterday with my son. It's such a shame it ended with so much stress!!

fedupofrainydays · 16/01/2014 23:24

But just re read and you said light brown... It's usually dark brown, prune juice they worry about with ectopic (I had this) so think it sounds like it's tapering off for you now and all will be gone and normal tomorrow we hope!! Xx

fedupofrainydays · 16/01/2014 23:22

Hope you manage to get some sleep sebs and aren't jumping up every 5 mins on knicker check. I so wish it wasn't happening and all was going smoothly but hopefully it's just a scare and that the red blood has gone makes me think it is. And there are all those stories of bleeding which turned out fine. It won't be implantation as you already been past that as pos test was few days ago now, but could be residual bleeding from it or breakthrough bleeding.

I would say, but don't want to scare you, that watery brown stuff is what they worry about too as can mean ectopic. So if it carries on I would get down to EPU pronto. But very much doubt it's that chick.

I've just been watching sunny beach programme... Amused but also a bit frightened for our kids!! My son if not going there... Ever!

Lucyjojo · 16/01/2014 21:55

Brown is good! Is a mooncup the thing you were on about to use when ttc? I'd just make yourself some hot chocolate, or preferably horlicks, get an early night, read a book and try and get some sleep. I so hope everything is ok for you in the morning. Good news on the opk reading though. Will be thinking of you xxxx

sebsmummy1 · 16/01/2014 21:35

I would say the same, too late for implantation.

Well for the moment I still just have some light brown watery cm. I really wanted to put a mooncup in because I have no other sanitary wear left and I'm scared I'm going to bleed heavily in the night, however I know your not meant to use them on pregnancy and I also can't get the bloody thing in. So I'm just going to have to hope tonight is quiet.

I saving my last hpt test for tomorrow morn and hoping the line is darker. I did have an opk though so did that and I have a stonking peak reading, so for the moment I still seem to be registering HCG which is something.

Xxxxxxx

Arrr Sebs only just reading your messages. How are you doing? Any updates? I know it is no consolation whatsoever as everyones situation is different but I know of a few people who had bleeding in early pregnancy and it was just one of those things. What has DP said?
I'm so sorry you have to go through this, while you were still living on your high too I bet. Life is just so shit sometimes, why do shit things have to happen to good people. It isn't fair that it can't just be a smooth sailing sex to bump to baby. It's what we're here for FFS why is it so complicated!
Sebs you made me get my rant on!!!!
I wouldn't have guessed it's implantation, probably too late on by now? It could just be your body doing weird things for no apparent reason. Did you ever see that programme I didn't know I was pregnant? Women were getting what they thought was their period for 8 months or so!! FX you are ok and this is just a minor and one and only hiccup for you.

sebsmummy1 · 16/01/2014 19:02

Thanks girls. DP is home now so I'm a little but more grounded.

Ok, I'm trying to look on the positive. The discharge is now brown and sludgy. The pad has a little dilute brown on it. There is no bright red blood.

I think it's the unknown that is freaking me out. It could go either way at this stage and I can't imagine being able to get a wink of sleep tonight. I am having twinges but I wouldn't say cramps.

I am only approx 14 dpo. I would usually have got my period full flow yesterday. I just think 14dpo is late for implantation, argh I have no idea.

Cakebaker35 · 16/01/2014 18:42

Oh sebs that sounds so frightening, poor you. As others have said try to rest if you can and it is a really positive sign that the bleeding has stopped. My best friend had a big bleed in early pregnancy, as with zippy it was never explained but all was fine. Keeping everything crossed for you x

zippygeorgebungle · 16/01/2014 18:05

Oh sebs, that sounds very scary. But I had what I assumed was a full period with my pregnancy, it lasted three or four days of intermittent bleeding. Turned out it must have been implantation or some other bleeding. I only did the pregnancy test a week later due to all the other symptoms. And nobody ever explained what the bleeding must have been. So don't lose hope sebs. Lots of rest if you can. fingers crossed xx

fedupofrainydays · 16/01/2014 18:00

That's good it's not continued but obviously very scary. Hoping its nothing and stops too xxxx

I have no idea, he is uncontactable unfortunately.

Well I haven't marked a pad so I guess that's something. I came back from soft play where there had been dark mucous, then as I drove home and run a bath there was dark red blood mixed in. I had a bath and got into my pyjamas, put a pad in and so far, and it's been over an hour, I haven't bled anymore.

I am praying it's something and nothing and it stops. I cannot stop shaking though, it's like I've gone into shock or something.

Rubbish that you are on your own. When is your dp home? So sorry sebs, this is so rubbish xxxxxxx

sebsmummy1 · 16/01/2014 16:28

You know when you just know your period is coming. It's like everything just feels really wet and heavy down there and you whack in a tampon or mooncup and know that at any minute full flow will appear. It feels like that.

I am shaking. I just cannot believe it's going to end so quickly. I guess at least I can get on with TTC again.

OP posts:
fedupofrainydays · 16/01/2014 16:22

How much bleeding is there? It could just be one of those things and all is fine but I know it's hard to keep your hopes up - I was the same with my last preg as had no bleeding with my son. But people do have this and bleeding in early preg is apparently normal so it's just a stupid, horrible, cruel waiting game. So sorry it's happening tho sebs as wish it was just a smooth, healthy pregnancy. Xx

I'm on my own, my Mums left and I cannot get hold of DP as he is in meetings all day and isn't picking up any messages. I just want the bleeding to stop and I can then think it was 'one of those things'. Realistically though I have a bad feeling about it.
