Fresh Bleed 8-9 Weeks

Hi everyone.

I sneezed this morning (after having a cold all weekend) and had quite a large fresh bleed. Went straight through my trousers, luckily I was wearing black! It happened at work at around 8.15. Seems to have slowed down, and is just like when you’re coming off your period. It’s still red but not bright in colour. I have sneezed since and have had no further big gushes, and have no cramping, although perhaps a slight tenderness.

I am taking cyclogest pressures twice a day (rectally), aspirin 150mg and a higher dose of folic acid because of 4 previous miscarriages. I am already under the EPAU due to my history, and have had 2 scans already, with strong heartbeat seen at 6 and 8 weeks. I have called them and they won’t scan me due to my last scan being less than a week ago (10th July).

I’m hoping the sheer amount of sneezing and coughing has just irritated my cervix, but there was so much blood to not be worried. Naturally, because of my history, I am absolutely terrified. Work were amazing this morning and took me straight home, so I am resting in bed, trying to resist going to the toilet every 2 minutes.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this before? EPAU weren’t exactly reassuring ☹️

Thank you @Flopsy145 and @DrunkTinkerbell40s. Found out baby stopped growing between Wednesday and Friday (9+3) last week from dating on previous scans. Who knows if it was caused by the bleed on Monday?

Had my D&C yesterday, the EPAU nurse was an angel and got me in so quickly. Recovering well with minimal bleeding. We have sent tissue off for cytogenetic testing too, which I’m grateful for.

Going to be very kind to myself, try and enjoy the summer holidays, and have even convinced the husband to book a holiday 😊

Again, thank you for your support. It truly means the world 🩷
