    bleeding...

    Hi girls. Im bleeding. Cramps too (maybe gas? Please be gas...) Trying not to freak out.

    We DTD last night, bleeding bright red blood, about 2 tablespoons when I sat on the toilet this morning.

    Tell me this is normal and everything is fine.

    Are you sure of that measurement, hun? 2 tablespoons is quite a lot of blood...That is about half an average period total loss. So, very significant. How did you measure it? Often it can look like there is heaps when it really isn't that much in reality. Is it constantly bleeding or has it stopped?
    How far along are you? If you are sure of that measurement, I would go and see the doctor if I was more than 6 weeks.

    Just a guess. Its not as much as a full period. I dunno then, hard to tell as it was in the water. Its about equal to what I would consider medium flow. But it has stopped, nothing since I got off the toilet. I was only there a min or two.
    I put a pad on and nothing since.
    Only 4w2d havent even had a bt yet. Supposed to be going today...
    Sorry, hard to explain lol

    Hun, I agree with LS that sounds like a lot. If you see your GP I think at this early stage they are only going to tell you to take it easy and maybe to a series of bloods to see HCG.

    But you would have read on here that so many women have lots of bleeding during their pregnancies and they have a beautiful bub still. Try thinking positively. I hope that the bleeding has stopped or stops soon. Take it as easy as you can.

    bleeding...

    Could be from DTD. Can you get a BT so you have an idea of your current beta HCG and then have another in a couple of days to see if it's rising. So hard to know when your super early what is going on with bleeding.
    Goodluck x

    Bleeding has all but stopped, cramps have gone. Im hoping this is a good thing.

    Told DF about the bleeding, he asked a few questions. Now wants to go about our normal day, visit someone, go to the shops... Should I be resting or will it not make a difference and I should just get on with it?

    I think, if something is going to wrong then there is normally not much that can be done to nprevent it. I don't think taking it easy would do you any harm though. Let your body rest and repair where ever the blood came from.
    Glad that the bleeding and cramping has stopped though.

    I kind of want to go out, take my mind off it. Otherwise I would just flat refuse.
    Maybe I'll tell him we can go visit and I'll just sit down while he chases DS. The doctors is at the shops so we'll be there anyway so he wants to grab a few things. I might send him and DS off alone while Im at the doctors.

    Is that reasonable, or should it be a bed rest and dont even fart, kind of scenario?

    At this stage of pregnancy, I think if something was going to happen then bedrest probably wouldn't stop it, at least that was what I was told.

    I have everything crossed for you hun xxx

    I would do as little walking as possible.
    Head to the doctors, then leave with DS with DH and head home and put your feet up. DH can take him around and visiting and you can rest. Put on some comfy clothes, settle in to the couch and watch a movie or something. It is a good sign if the cramps and bleeding have stopped, it may very well have just been the sex that stirred things up a bit.

    bleeding...

    I'm sorry this is happening. I wouldn't rule out ectopic at this point. A friend if mine recently had ectopic and it sounded a bit similar to this. I wouldn't wait til the pain got heaps worse!! I'm sure your Gp will check this out though.

    i know when i had my m/c, and during my bloods i mentioned to the nurse that i was bleeding. she rang a courier straight away and i had my results in a few hours. make sure you tell the nurse the same thing.

    Saw the doctor. He did 2 pee tests and both came back negative. He's sent me for an ultrasounds to check for an ectopic. Us tech said because I'm only 4 weeks they might not be able to see anything anyway. He's done a transvaginal us which didn't show anything now waiting on an abdominal one as I drank the water on the way over and it hadn't gotten to my bladder yet.

    what will happen if he doesn't find anything? Is there other tests they do our will they just tell me to wait and see?

    He hadn't ordered a blood test.

    This sucks.

    Doctor just could not figure out how I had gotten a positive home test 4 days ago, 2 neg tests in the office and nothing showed on the scan. Despite my telling him the US tech said it was probably too early to see anything

    Well, yanno, Im no doctor but Id guess I WAS pregnant, lost it, hcg is gone and now my body is expelling it. And nothing on the scan is either cause its too early or its gone. Idiot.
    Or it was a false positive. Not sure how likely that is though.. I had symptoms Id never even considered, like nightmare, insomnia, frequent weeing (never had that with DS and assumed it would be the same or similar this time), etc. If it is my period its still 4 days late and it feels different. The pain is different.
    He gave me a blood test referral for tomorrow and marked it urgent. We'll see what that comes back with. I really dont hold much hope. Ive been cramping all day and bleeding has ramped up.
