Hi all - long post, not sure what I’m trying to get out of it. Maybe I just need to hear someone tell me there’s a glimmer of hope.

Pregnant with my third pregnancy (1MC, 1 living child). We’re under the care of a private Fertility doctor. Had my first scan at around six weeks and all looked fine. A couple of days later, I started having some bleeding. Went to my early pregnancy unit for a scan, and they found that I had a bleed (quite a big one). Baby looked fine and heart rate was seen but told to come back in two weeks for a scan to look at the bleeding.

Today I’ve been to see my private Fertility doctor as he wanted to scan me due to the bleeding. Should just add the bleeding is taping off, still there but not as bad as it was and scan showed it was clotting and reducing in size. Again baby itself looked okay growth wise, but the heart rate was measured at 75 bpm, which I know is low.

I’m booked in for a follow-up scan next week to see what’s happening and have been told that it could go either way at this point. Am I just kidding myself or is there a chance that things could work themselves out?

Im on medication to try and give us the best possible chance of a good outcome. I trust my doctor completely but would just appreciate hearing other people’s real life experiences.

Would really welcome any positive stories at this point.

So sorry you're going through this, OP. I'm just bumping your thread in the hope someone with a similar experience sees it. You might also find our support pages helpful while you wait for your scan. Wishing you all the best.
