I'm 6 weeks 1 day pregnant. That gestation is exact as I got pregnant with IVF with a frozen embryo transfer.
On Thursday night I felt that my cervix was really low (I have to insert progesterone pessaries so felt it low) but didn't think too much about it. On Friday morning at 8am I started getting cramping and bleeding. I bled, fairly heavily though not soaking through pads or anything, for about 4-5 hours. There were clots the size of a 5p and a much longer thin one too.
I assumed I was having a miscarriage so called the IVF clinic. They obviously couldn't say what was happening but advised I do another pregnancy test. This came back strongly positive, but I know pregnancy hormones can linger even after a miscarriage. I have a scan on Monday so will know either way then, but in the meantime I'm torturing myself with 'was it / wasn't it'.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience they could share with miscarrying at 6 weeks. Even though it's still so early I expected more than four hours bleeding. I know bleeding in pregnancy is fairly common but bleeding that much, including clots? Has anyone had that level of bleeding and remained pregnant? Thanks in advance.
