Hi Hereshoping,
I am 11 wks and had been bleeding lightly since 3 1/2 weeks until last week. Two early scans have shown a small bleed next to the sac (which they referred to as a small clot).
The bleed varys between light brown and bright red, but is never much despite being there on every toilet trip (Sorry, just trying to give detail!)
Its only meant to be a risk if the area is large. Mine was quite small (but enough to cause bleeding most days). Its also riskier in later pregnancy, but quite common in early pregnancy apparently.
I have been told that the area will just be absorbed into the body, and Im sure I read somewhere that this is likely around the time the placenta kicks in. (but I might have dreamed this!).
My bleeding has now been gone for a week so im hoping that's it - scan tomorrow so guess I will see if the clot is still there. THe time also seems consistant with the time the placenta would have kicked in.
Like you I also saw a Heartbeat.
I think you can expect more bleeding, and I know its really difficult because you dont expect to have to deal with bleeding so much when pregnant. THe bright red is also quite alarming.
But it sounds exactly like what I have.
I know its been a few weeks since you posted - how are you now?
