I'm pregnant for the sixth time, after 5 early pregnancy losses. I'm about 6 weeks now which is the furthest I've ever made it. We're cautiously excited. I've been using progesterone suppositories rectally for almost 4 weeks, since we found out we were pregnant.
Over the weekend I had a small bleed so they scanned me at the EPAU on Monday - pregnancy was in the right place and the right size. No heartbeat or fetal pole but as I was expecting to be about 5.5 weeks along I wasn't too worried about that. I'll be rescanned next Wednesday, great.
Overnight I had another small bleed. Bright red but hardly anything on the pad, it's brown now. I was really proud of myself for being calm and rationale. Had a lazy morning (day off), all was well.
The recurrent miscarriage midwife rang to offer me a reassurance scan at 9 weeks - perfect, I'd love that! I told her about my scan, the one booked next week and the small bleeds I'd had. Her tone totally changed and she started saying things like "when you miscarry", "when you have a negative pregnancy test" and "we'll send the pregnancy tissue off to be tested". I asked her whether she thought the pregnancy wasn't viable and she said "no no, it's just that you shouldn't bleed when you're taking progesterone".
I'm left feeling totally deflated and the sense of calm I've worked so hard to maintain is gone. I just want to get to next Wednesday now. Has anyone else had experiences of bleeding in early pregnancy and everything being fine?
