Bleeding

[coolblue89]

Help...
I have googled and googled and googled trying to figure out why I keep getting pink discharge when I wipe. I know it's not implantation bleeding because it's too late in the cycle. I had a very small bleed a couple of days ago then it stopped and now at least once or twice a day I wipe and it looks like blood. I have had several miscarriages and I'm just not getting a clear answer as to what is going on

Don't want you to go unanswered op. How many weeks are you?
Light bleeding isn't a clear answer - it could be nothing, just happens sometimes, could be early stages of a miscarriage.
Are you far enough along to go to an epu? Sorry you have this worry

@tomhazard I'm only 6 weeks and I'm fed up of the "some bleeding is normal in early pregnancy" the word "normal" really p**ses me off

Well to be completely honest in my experience bleeding during the first trimester doesn't usually end well and I wouldn't call it normal. But there is always a few examples of people who bleed early on and it does turn out fine. You should ring your midwife or epu.

Hope everything turns out alright

@tomhazard Thankyou I appreciate the honesty because I find a lot of people tell you what you want to hear. I have had 1 successful pregnancy and had several little bleeds from start to finish in that pregnancy and each time I went straight to the midwife. I was left feeling like I had wasted their time because baby was fine but due to previous experiences I wasn't taking any chances. So now when I see any sign of blood I am reluctant to go x

Ah well if you've had bleeding in a successful pregnancy it might be an unfortunate feature of your pregnancies.
I would give somebody a ring, you might be a bit early on for a scan that would actually tell you anything but somebody might be able to give you a bit more info

I had this, went to the early pregnancy unit, had a scan but it was too early. So have another one booked next week.
Sorry you’ve had a bad experience in the past. But if you’re worried then I’d get it checked out. Waiting another 6 weeks for your first scan is a long wait.

I will call them today and see what the outcome is. Thankyou x

Hope you have a positive outcome. If your looking for honesty I had the same last week at 6+8 and I am now in hospital with an ectopic pregnancy.

I was in the same boat as you and went to the GP who kind of fobbed me off. I was on the phone every day and he said it was ‘normal’ he didn’t send me for a scan or take blood as he said it was too early.

I have also had a successful pregnancy and did have some bleeding but I did get sent for an early scan and got scanned every week until 13 weeks. Fingers crossed for you, I do know how frustrating the ‘it’s normal is’

@loveMyWeeDog sorry to hear your news. It's horrid isn't it?! Was you in pain? I'm not in pain at all but you really do get tossed aside until it's too late I know these things can't be helped but the mental damage does enough damage let alone anything else. Thinking of you x

@coolblue89 Thank you x

I had some slight discomfort but it felt a bit more like trapped wind than anything else.

I totally know exactly what you mean about feeling tossed aside. I’ve went through so much stress the last few weeks due to the uncertainty that I think it will take me a long time to recover from that and I’m 39 so time is not on my side if we want to try again.

Wishing you all the best and update if you can. Thinking of you too, it’s a difficult time x

I'm 6 weeks too, experienced some spotting/early bleeding. Was really upset and thought the worse. My EPU booked me in for a scan yesterday, everything was perfect and even saw a nice flicker of a heartbeat. Obviously like any pregnancy, there's still time for things to go wrong, however I was told yesterday that everything is brilliant, as it should be and I have nothing to worry about unless I have bad pain or a period like bleed. Hoping the best for you OP, try not to worry yourself so much, I know how hard it is x

I had spotting like this all through 5-6 weeks. Thought I was losing baby (I'm now due so it turned out fine.) I had a private scan at almost 7 weeks and they found an area of my uterus outside of the gestational sack that had a light 'abrasion'. You could actually pinpoint it on the scan. What she said was the slight bleed travelled over the sack and past my baby and was harmless. So it's a possibility in your case.
I so hope you have a good outcome and I really understand your anxiety. I spoke to 3 women when this was happening to me who had all spotted and I found this very reassuring, it doesn't always mean the worst.

I really wish you all the best.

@annoyingcat my last pregnancy I had an abrasion on my cervix which is why I was bleeding slightly but I will keep you posted thanks everyone x

I had some spotting and on the scan last week at 7+4 they said I have a chorionic bump (never heard of it!). Basically a hematoma I think (mass of blood). And just said it can increase your risk of miscarriage and to come back in two weeks. So I have an anxious wait. Virtual hand hold for you lovely!

My mind is in overdrive I have only had 1 slight bleed today and it was after a mad Sunday clean of my home, some pages suggest after strenuous exercise you can spot...I have read all kinds of info as to why I may be bleeding I don't know if I am just trying to read what I want to read and being ignorant to the fact this is happening again. I have taken a picture of my underwear tonight I haven't changed them just so I can keep an eye on things.if people don't mind I would put it on but don't want to disgust people it's hard to explain they say a picture speaks a thousand words

It wouldn't bother me seeing it.

It wouldn’t bother me either

Hi OP. I'm sorry you're going through this. I had some spotting from about 4 weeks to 5 weeks and it's terrifying isn't it.

I'm now 6+4 and touches wood have had none for just over a week now.

I'm going to speak to my midwife on Thursday at my booking in appointment as I knew they wouldn't send me for a scan when it was happening as I was til early.

I hope you get some answers soon. If you want to post a photo, feel free.

Look after yourself.

Sorry for the graphic photo but this was yesterday

Hi OP. Are you in pain or having cramps? Is that bleeding heavier than it has been?
I really hope you're able to get some answers soon. I know the uncertainty is awful.

@Glitterandunicorns no pain no cramps that's the heaviest it's been xx

I can't promise everything is going to be ok, but I think it's a good sign that you're not having any pain.
Have you spoken to a midwife or EPU yet?

@coolblue89 how are things going? X

I had similar at five weeks ended in miscarriage and again similar at seven weeks which is progressing fine now, I’m 30 weeks... at seven weeks epu did offer me a scan, is that an option for you op?
