6 weeks, heartbeat seen but started bleeding

[Poly1982]

Hi there,

I’m not sure if anyone will be able to help but it’s the wee small hours of the morning and I’m sure we all know how we drive ourselves mad.

I had an early scan today (6 weeks and 2 days since lmp) after a seemingly successful round of IVF. All was well, everything was where it should be. Measured at 6 weeks and the heartbeat was visible. I will say I have adenomyosis which is basically a dodgy uterus and the sonographer was quite rough when pressing in sideways to get a view. So much so that I winced at one point.

Came home delighted and went for a meal to celebrate. When I stood up after the meal I had started to bleed out of nowhere. It leaked through my dress and was bright red like a period. This continued for about 30 mins and then slowed down so that it’s now just a steady pace but I can’t feel it when I cough or move if that makes sense?

Sorry for the long post but I’m at my wits end. Did anyone else experience this after a scan? Do you think this a miscarriage or a haemorrhage? I have a very light tummy ache but nothing to write home about. Gosh this process is such a cruel rollercoaster.

If you're really set on surgical route ask for MVA. There is a much smaller risk of adhesions and its manual with no scraping of your uterus. I know it's difficult atm and you just want it over. You are quite early on so medication likely to be more effective.

Oh Poly I'm so so sorry, I've been thinking about you this week. I have no experience about the procedure but just sad to hear your pregnancy has ended. Hand holding here.

Are you ok @Poly1982
(Probably stupid question)

Thinking of you xx

Oh my goodness I can’t believe what I’ve just read. Thinking of you @Poly1982 sending love.
