Bleeding and spotting for 2 weeks (from 8.5 - 10.5 weeks and counting...)
After a long TTC journey and IVF, I’m 10.5 weeks along and have been having bleeding and spotting with cramps for the last two weeks. My pregnancy had seemed totally normal until one morning, at 8.5 weeks, when I suddenly started gushing bright red blood. I called my clinic and went in a couple of hours later. By the time I got there, the bleeding had slowed down but I had an examination and scan anyway. The baby looked perfect, there was no sign of anything wrong and my cervix was closed. The next evening, I started gushing red blood again and cramping badly. I called my clinic and the hospital and both said that, if I was miscarrying, nothing could be done anyway so the best treatment was just to rest up. The heavy bleeding again subsided on its own after a couple of hours. Now, two weeks on, I am still cramping up and spotting – it is very light and has changed from bright red to brown old blood. I saw my ob for the first time a few days ago and our baby looked perfect (wriggling and kicking) on the scan and there was no obvious problem with my pregnancy. So why am I still spotting? I am so confused and terrified that this will turn back into heavy bleeding and something unthinkably bad. Any thoughts for me?
