@IWM20 I hope the scan later goes OK. Are you able to take your partner with you to the private scan? A 4 hr round trip on your own might be quite hard especially while you are so worried x

IWM20 · 08/07/2020 11:53

@MichT4 it's horrible isn't it. I know bleeding doesn't always mean a MC but I think when you've had a MC and had bleeding it's automatically what you think of. My clear blue digital didn't progress either which has added to the worry. It stuck on 2-3 and I know loads of women have trouble with them and there's a big jump in hormones to 3+ but that coupled with the bleeding isn't great. It's at 3.10 so we will be leaving soonish really xxx

@MrsK21 my husband's coming with me, I thought he could come in initially with it being private but this particular clinic isn't allowing partners although most of their others do. It will be nice having him there regardless and I agree, I think driving all that way would be hard. Especially the drive home, probably won't be able to drive through my tears! 😂 (laughing but also serious 😂) xxx

Northernsoul90 · 08/07/2020 11:57

@MichT4 @SmileyT @MrsK21
I know it’s annoying they wouldn’t scan, but yes hopefully the hcg has dropped to that level. I couldn’t really ask the questions I wanted as the lady who did my bloods didn’t usually work on that ward. I am going to ask about my levels when I get the phone call tonight.

@IWM20 Sorry to hear that you’ve been having some bleeding really hoping for you that it’s something else. Welcome to the group and we are all here for you whatever the outcome is xxx

VP91x · 08/07/2020 11:57

@IWM20 I'm so sorry that it might be happening again. I hope your scan shows otherwise - keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

IWM20 · 08/07/2020 11:59

@Northernsoul90 @VP91x thank you both. I'll keep the group updated with the outcome but I'm sure I know what's happening. It's now starting to just go onto a panty liner... Only slightly but clearly is getting heavier as it wasn't before now 😔 xxx

Northernsoul90 · 08/07/2020 11:59

@IWM20 fingers crossed for your scan I hope everything’s okay xx

chloedancer897 · 08/07/2020 12:05

@IWM20 fingers crossed for you both xo

2020wish · 08/07/2020 12:13

@IWM20 good luck on your scan and fingers crossed for a positive outcome! Thinking of you x

Lollol86 · 08/07/2020 12:20

@IWM20 I really hope everything is ok for you x

MichT4 · 08/07/2020 12:25

@IWM20 it's really difficult to detach from those thoughts when you've experienced it before, it's hard to stay positive sometimes.
How far apart did you take the Clearblue tests? I know the weeks thing can be misleading, which is why I'm a little nervous about using it xx

Rb486 · 08/07/2020 12:43

@IWM20 sorry to hear your experiencing this bleeding. Maybe I can repost these for you as you would have missed them. Read them when times are feeling tough. Hope your scan has a positive outcome today, but like everyone says we are all here and understand exactly how you feel. So just write all your emotions down here and we will work through them!

@MichT4 how far do you think you are 4 weeks? It’s such a hard time isn’t it the first trimester because everything seems to feel so far away. The first appointment and the first scan. Would you consider not retesting or is it something you feel you need to do? Be some reassurance if the weeks change?

@renna So strange whats going on, but uv covered dtd loads so maybe uv just had a really short peak and missed it when testing, or u might have peaked over night, can that happen too?

@SmileyT Im good, little bit of nausea today, but iv been pretty good, i dnt blame u waiting a bit a few have done the same, its getting busy in the chat now which is a good thing obviously:) ...just got a random call from hosp for an appt tomorrow 9am at the rainbow clinic which iv since found out is a clinic for women who have previously lost, so dnt really know what to expect at that and it was so last min to call me today for tomorrow 9am appt.

Iv booked a little trip to spain with my mum on sunday for a few days as my hubby is too busy with work and i have lots of holidays to take before the end of the month and iv checked and it is safe to fly and everything so im really looking forward to getting out this house for a few days of vitamin D, working from home is making me feel so fed up so i need a pick me up!

@MichT4 when is ur next scan, how far are u now? X xx

@IWM20 really hoping it just a scare and nothing serious, ull get the answers soon and either way we are all here for u x x sending virtual hugs xxx

MichT4 · 08/07/2020 12:58

@Rb486 @Hayleylou89 I think I’ll be 5 weeks on Friday, so still very early days.

It does go really slowly as at the moment there’s not much to be done. I’m not going to call the doctor until I know what’s happening, and I think I’ll book a private scan for about 8 weeks (if everything is ok in there). So the next 3 weeks are a bit of a limbo.
I think I need to test to make sure the spotting was nothing more than a little breakthrough. Otherwise if something isn’t right then I’ll turn up to a scan I’ve paid for and be told the same news.

@hayleylou89 at what weeks did you have scans? xx

MichT4 · 08/07/2020 13:00

@Rb486 I haven’t done a weeks one before, so it’s really just to see if I’m still pregnant. I might just take the normal digi and not the weeks, but I am tempted to see what it says.

@Hayleylou89 your little trip sounds lovely! I’m very jealous xx

Hayleylou89 · 08/07/2020 13:03

@Mich2020
I had scans at 6wks and 9weeks and then my 12 week one is on 20th July, it went so slow at first but now it does seem to be going a little bit quicker...im 10 + 2 now x

Why dnt u change and do 6 and 9 private scan the its every 3 weeks ur being scanned x

MichT4 · 08/07/2020 13:05

@Hayleylou89 I could do that, just a little worried they don’t see the heartbeat at the 6 week mark, which I know they sometimes don’t. And that’ll panic me! Did you see yours? Did you get photos?

Need to see if I get there first 🤞🏼

Rb486 · 08/07/2020 13:07

@MichT4 maybe just do it then. The weeks one, we know what it’s like we say we won’t test and then we do. When you get that urge it’s to hard to resist! Lol! In a way it would be nice if tests didn’t pick it up so early so we didn’t have this terrible long wait. I don’t think I’m going to refer myself to the midwife next time until I’m like 9 weeks then I won’t feel like I’m waiting for them to call or waiting for a scan date and it should all happen pretty quickly then. I’ll just keep it to myself for a bit. Dunno if that would help or not but just an idea. Lol! Xxx

MichT4 · 08/07/2020 13:09

@Rb486 that’s sort of what I’m thinking. If we do an earlier scan and it’s all fine, I’ll call the doctor then. Last time I called straight away and they didn’t phone back until after the MC and it crushed me.
I wouldn’t test again (she says) if I hadn’t had that spotting. But I think I need to now for the reassurance xx

Emsnewmum · 08/07/2020 14:04

@smileyT

Huge congratulations on your BFP and all the best on your pregnancy!

@nothernsoul

Sorry to hear they wouldn't scan you my epu seem very hesitant to do scans! Hopefully you get some good results from your bloods x

#iwm20

So sorry to hear about your bleeding I have read a lot of peoples stories on bleeding and some people have bled alot and still had a healthy pregnancy fingers crossed for you wishing you all the best for your scan

@MichT4 sorry to hear about your bleeding it's just impossible not to worry at the sight of blood but always important to have hope as it is possible to have bleeding and still be ok. Wishing you all the best x

Tink20058 · 08/07/2020 14:04

@MichT4 I have had 3 early ones so far and the one on Tuesday is my nhs one, so hopefully will all be well, how are you feeling? Xxx

MichT4 · 08/07/2020 14:10

Thank you @Emsnewmum. I remember being worried first time, but once you've been there before, you can't help think the worst. I'm hoping that will be the last of it, and that I'll get some reassurance soon.

How are you doing?

@Tink20058 what weeks did you have them and what did you see each time?
I am fine thank you. I am waiting to test again to make sure it's all still OK so am nervous about that. I'm torn about it all, but think it'll drive me mad if I don't test again.
Excited for your scan next week. I'm sure it'll all be perfect xx

Emsnewmum · 08/07/2020 14:15

I was wondering if anyone could help me, I had alot of ewcm over the last few days (very rare for me think the only time I've had it is in the two cycles I concieved) so I took a ov stick with first urine and got the fainter line. Then I took the stronger one with my second urine but checked it after ten mins do you think it's still accurate? I did take a pic of them both long after ten mins and there Is such a difference.

Just want to know if it's def my peak I could resist and we dtd last night bit trying not to get my hopes up too much x

MichT4 · 08/07/2020 14:18

@Emsnewmum I would say that is your peak for sure, so if you can get another couple of nights DTD then go for it! Good luck! x

Rb486 · 08/07/2020 14:19

@MichT4 yeah just test then. This whole process costs such a lot of money. Like add up all the money we’ve ever spent on opks and pregnancy tests and early scans. Lol! But yeah I’d like to get an early scan next time... I did last time but went exactly at 7 weeks and they could just see the sac and yolk sac abdominally. Didn’t do transvaginal. I was booked to go back at 9 weeks then coronavirus hit. So had my 12 week scan at 12+4 with the nhs and mmc. Has anyone thought of buying or have got a Doppler? Xx
