Hi everyone,
I have been lurking but feeling strangely paranoid about posting this last week or so. Not sure why! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. Welcome cwtch, great to see another egg buddy come over to this side.
All ok here at the moment. Following the bleed and then ok scan a couple of weeks ago, I was released by the fertility clinic and I am now registered back with my OB/GYN at the hospital. (I am in the US so things are done a bit differently here, there don't seem to be midwives as such). It was soooo weird at first and like a few of you also said, I really missed the fertility clinic at first - it was just so much smaller and I knew all the staff well.
I had a scan last week at 8 weeks and all looked well, but the bleed (subchorionic hematoma) is really big compared to the sac. The Dr. who did the scan said that these can be a cause for concern but my Dr wasn't overly concerned and said that these things usually take care of themselves, but ..there is always that 'BUT'. Since the scan, I have been bleeding for the last 6 (!) days, always brown very old blood and not much of it. On the one hand I have almost got used to it, on the other other it still freaks me out! I have to take things easy - no sex/exercise/carrying anything heavy for now. Am hoping this bleeding is the hematoma bleeding out and resolving itself, but we will see. I have another scan tomorrow (9w 3d) to check the progress and starting to get nervous about that.
Other than that, feeling very nauseous most days all day and ridiculously emotional - absolutely anything remotely sentimental (or even not) has me in tears! I had my booking in appointment and bloodwork done earlier this week, and on the referral note to the lab it said 'supervision of normal pregnancy', and that had me in tears because nothing has seemed 'normal' (ie straightforward and easy) about this whole business over the last couple of years!
Hope everyone is doing well, slowly the days pass by and we get closer to the 12 week mark.
