    Thanks Ladies,

    KitFaerie - At this stage, just spotting (*TMI - it is dark brown spotting). Although yesterday I did have a couple of cramps (not bad ones though - so more a couple of pains).

    Mum-2-Be- I had dark brown spotting at 8 weeks and again at 10 weeks. Scared the $%#@ out of me but US's at 6 and 13 weeks showed a completely healthy bub. The OB told me that the bleeding may have been from a ruptured capillary. Apparently that can happen when the placenta is forming. I was told that if I wasn't having pain then I shouldn't be too worried.

    fingers crossed babe

    Hi Ladies,

    Unfortunately the u/s showed that the baby only grew 2 days over the last week and there was no heartbeat.

    I thank everyone who has posted in here because it has really helped me cope over the last week. Although I was trying to be positive, I guess deep down I knew it wasn't meant to be - not this little baby anyway. So, although it is a sad outcome, you all have made it easier.

    Going in for D&C today (nice and quick). So we can soon begin to look forward and plan for our next IVF treatment - we have 2 frozen embies left!

    Thanks Ladies.
