I have just had a positive result! Looks like I’m due early March 2026.
Second baby for me, eldest is 9 in September.

Thought it would be lovely to have somewhere to share our progress

I’ve had a really heavy bleed this morning like a period and very red it’s the day of my scan I’m so devastated 😭

It might be a haematoma
I had that last week

Bright red

Has it lessened yet?

Is it ivf pregnancy?
Are u on blood thinner?

Haematoma is common in ivf pregnancy

First time I was actually sick this morning too the nausea is so so bad 😩 it’s 11:20 but I almost don’t want to go with the fear they just confirm the worse that I’m thinking. thank you trying to stay positive

I was convinced id lost the pregnancy last tues
Yet last Wednesday was confirmed as a hematoma

Keep hopeful

FlossiePot91 · 22/07/2025 09:08

God I forgot how stressful this first part of pregnancy was. Really hope the scan today is ok @Hopeloveandkindness

MummyV2021 · 22/07/2025 09:08

Really sorry to hear your news @BeastAngelMadwoman please take care of yourself and accept any support you need at this time.

@Hopeloveandkindness that must be scary and stressful, I hope you get some much needed reassurance at your scan. Sending love and positive vibes!

These first few weeks are so hard! Even though I saw the heartbeat at my scan last week I still worry as know anything can happen in these early days. I did the same as you though @Orangelover and stopped testing a lot earlier than usual as it was driving me mad - I got 2-3 on digital at 14DPO and it was still 2-3 6 days later (should have waited longer). But all my other tests stalled too, so instead of buying more I just stepped away to protect my sanity! Just got to try and relax and put our faith in our bodies and hope for a good outcome!

I'm 7 weeks today and nausea has ramped up for me yesterday. Didn't have any nausea at all with my DS1 so this is very new to me! The lack of symptoms in my first pregnancy really scared me but I really should have relished every second now I know what the nausea is like!!

Hi not on blood thinner yes it’s lessened within the hour but still red here and there when wiping ivf pregnancy. Hopefully the scan will clarify they have moved to soon when I have rang

Bumblebee1984 · 22/07/2025 09:48

@Hopeloveandkindnesssorry you’re having a scary time but good you’ve already got a scan shortly. Hoping it’s just a heamatoma as others have said

Sounds like could be haematoma..

Hopeloveandkindness · 22/07/2025 11:29

Thanks all for all your kind words. We seen a heart beat everything was present yolk sac, fetal pole present. Crown measurements were 6.9mm measuring 6 weeks 4 days 🥹. I’m still bleeding but not heavy she couldn’t see a hematoma etc but said it could be implantation bleeding or irritation to the pessaries I am on. I have another scan next Friday 🙏🏻

TheFutureIs · 22/07/2025 11:33

That’s fab news! What a relief for you

Aw so happy for you @Hopeloveandkindness

Hopeloveandkindness · 22/07/2025 11:40

Thank you I went in honestly expecting the worse outcome was a lovely feeling getting to see on the screen ❤️I do hope the bleeding stops though as makes me so anxious

Bumblebee1984 · 22/07/2025 11:46

So happy for you @Hopeloveandkindnessand thank you for sharing your experience. Reassuring to know people are bleeding & still having positive news!

Casper94 · 22/07/2025 11:48

So happy for you @Hopeloveandkindness !!

Omg today I opened my fridge and nearly vomited, told my husband to clean it asap and he checked it and said there wasn't anything bad in there, so apparently the smell of fridges is now a no go for me 🤢

@Casper94OMG I’m like this at the moment, the fridge, the dishwasher and the bin are getting me the past couple of days 🤢 I think it’s the mixture of smells together.

mumtrovert · 22/07/2025 11:52

hahaha @Casper94 I keep thinking DS has had a poo when he’s not 😂 something smells of sh*t around here!!

MI55BumbleBea · 22/07/2025 12:17

@FlossiePot91 and @Casper94 I’m the same. Just stepping foot in the kitchen is causing dramatic wretching right now. In fact any smells, even nice ones are horrible - clean laundry, my deodorant … I just can’t. Haven’t actually thrown up as yet but with this level of nausea I’m guessing it’s just a matter of time. This first trimester business isn’t a joke.

Casper94 · 22/07/2025 12:20

@FlossiePot91 @mumtrovert @MI55BumbleBea honestly! It's so surreal to me because I had barely any symptoms my first pregnancy so this is all very new to me! Also can't eat apples, ready salted crisps or strawberry flavoured water now 🤣

Oh I'm glad this isn't just me, I'm suffering so bad right now 😩 the worst smell for me is my bedroom! Doesn't make sense, it smells of fresh laundry but I can't stand it! So I absolutely hate going to bed at night now! I just feel sooo sick now 24/7 it's exhausting 😟

Redsky01 · 22/07/2025 12:51

Went to GP to get bloods done was so emotional

CL05071998 · 22/07/2025 12:53

I'm feeling quite nauseous and I'm not even 5 weeks yet!! The tiredness is extreme, but trying to be positive and see it as a progressing pregnancy. Didn't get any nausea until 8 weeks with my son!

omg that was me last night. I was convinced DS had done a poo as could totally smell it. But he hadn't

ZoeOutdoors · 22/07/2025 13:36

Had my scan at the epu this morning following bleeding, measuring 6 weeks rather than the 7w3 i thought i was but there was a heartbeat, I couldn't believe it. Still bleeding now and they couldn't see where its come from, I've been given progesterone so hopefully that helps.
