I’m not sure why I’m posting this really, I know there’s nothing I can do to change the outcome if this is a miscarriage but I could do with some support.
We’ve been trying to have a baby for nearly 9 years and I’ve had around 15 cycles of ivf (fresh cycles and medicated FETs), 11 embryos transferred in total and 2 previous miscarriages (1 MMC at 11 weeks in 2016, baby had trisomy 21, and a blighted ovum in 2020).
Had what is likely to be our final ever transfer with a euploid embryo last month and it was successful! I had a bit of spotting 3 days ago but wasn’t too worried as I know that can be normal. However, I started to get fairly intense backache the day after and cramps and then yesterday started bleeding. Dark red and fairly continuous, and the pain and cramping has continued.
I had a scan at EPU yesterday and they could see a gestational sac measuring about 6 weeks and potentially the start of a yolk sac but it wasn’t clear. So all of that is not inconsistent with my dates but the bleeding and the pain is extremely worrying, especially with my history. There was no sign of any clots in uterus so no obvious explanation for the bleeding. The feeling is very much like when I started bleeding following blighted ovum in 2020 so I’m fearing the worst.
Looking for some stories of hope. I just feel completely numb and can’t believe this is happening to us again. I thought getting pregnant with a euploid embryo would give us really good odds.
