Still bleeding, I have been using tampons because seeing all the blood was doing my head in, there is no clots or stringy bits or anything but still just bright red blood. I just keep hoping ill go to change my tampon and it will be white still!! Sorry everyone for the TMI!!

Maybe avoid tampons if you can - I don't think they're recommended when pregnant.
I have the results but they haven't helped me at all!!!! :( my hcg levels are at 450 so the nurse said that's around 5-6 weeks pregnant, I did have really sore ovaries for 2 weeks about 6 weeks ago but then got af so figured it must have been me ovulating. Now I'm thinking maybe what I thought was af was actually implantation, would it last 2 days with big cramping though?? That doesn't explain why I'm bleeding now though or why I never got a positive on the opks since they record hcg levels. I'm still thinking I'm only 3.5 weeks though, could it be a twins thing possibly?? Gah! I don't know, going to get more bloods tomoro so I guess I just gotta wait!!

oh reet :hug:. FX everything is fine and you have a sticky bubba. all the best for tomorrow
Congrats on the good blood test results. Now lets just hope the bleeding stops!
Oh my, I say you just need to run with it and don't worry too much about what the OPK's didn't or did show up. They could have been a faulty batch or anything.
Try and keep positive (seriously difficult I know!) and just get to the next blood test tomorrow and see what happens.
I am so excited for you, I know how much you have wanted this - I really really hope it all goes to plan.
Big hugs, and fingers crossed!
Reet - my HCG at 5wks+5 was 15,560, so I am surprised that your nurse thinks your that far along? My HCG at 4w+3 was 479.1 It may have been twins and you may be losing one. I have heard of that before. Still getting AF but still being pg. I think only a scan will tell you why your bleeding. Not too sure if you would be able to see bubs yet, but maybe the cause of bleeding since you are pg. Congratulations on being pg :)
It sounds a bit similar to when I lost DS's twin, the bleeding eased after a few days. But I spent those days lying down which you don't get to do with a toddler! Remember it is really common to bleed in early pregnancy, are you getting follow up bloods to see what the levels are doing? I *need* to know everything that's going on with my pregnancy/ies so I get why you really want the information. I only relax with a list of results/scans in my hand :)
good luck reet!
Congrats! I guess it's just a waiting game now to see how things go
Congratulations Reet at least it is confirmed you are pregnant xxxxx
I understand it's going to be a tough wait over the next few days, try and take it easy as much as you can, I know bed rest is impossible while you are on your own with a toddler in tow, just do as little as possible xxx
I hope your levels rise nicely!!!
Ps, my first blood levels were 23, so try keep positive and hope for the best x
Congratulations xox
Try to rest and not to worry xox some bleeding is normal. There are women out there that have had bleeding the whole way through xoxox
Firstly :hug:
I can't explain the bleeding but I have a good feeling about this pg. (told you you were next!! Once again I've predicted a pregnancy for you lol) No cramping or clots is good. I know how scary it is to bleed in early pg, and nothing I can say will really help.
But we're here holding your hand. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Text me with your results or I'll be going out of my mind in the office :) In fact text me anytime. :hug:

Chody47- Im trying not to use tampons but it makes me want to cry when i see all the blood! :( I did ask the Dr yesterday if it was ok too and she said that it is, there is a risk of infection but it is very small. I havent had one in for the last couple hours but i cant deal with it, Ill leave it out for bed tonight but i will go back to wearing them tomoro i think, waaay better for my sanity!
Thankyou to M&D2b and Sahbear! xx
Vic- well yeah now that I have looked up a hcg chart i dont think im that far along either according to my levels, maybe 4 something weeks at the most. The chart also says that from woman to woman the levels vary a lot so i guess the nurse was just giving me an estimate... the variance is huge on the charts for lowest to highest hcg levels for how many weeks u are... Thanks for letting me know ur numbers and for the congratulations! :)
Kit- Yep I definitely need hard evidence that everything is ok before i can stop stressing and relax! I really thought the next time i fell pregnant after DD things wld be different and it wldnt be such a stress.. why oh why do i have to be bleeding?!?!! I could be so happy right now! :( U had pain with DSs twin didnt you?? I have had none whatsoever. And i have been bleeding for 10 days, so i dont think it wld be a twin miscarrying... i guess I wont really know until i can get in for a scan though! :/ And yep getting more blood tests done tomoro to check levels. Freaking out!!!! x
Thankyou Jellybean and Saffy (and a big congratulations to u Saffy!!!! :) x
Murraycod- I know its been confirmed that Im pregnant but i still dont feel it at all!!! Maybe its just my mind protecting itself from the hurt if i do m/c. I know nothing will make it easier though if i do, so I shld just accept it. Its just so hard, as u know! It wld have been so scary for u in those first few weeks not knowing if ur body cld do it by itself. I wld have been an absolute mess!!!
Catastrophic, thankyou for the reassurance! God i hope i dont bleed all the way thru! I wld be an absolute nutcase by the time baby is born!! :)
Forshelby- Thankyou so much!! And yes ur prediction once again has come true! So many ppl have been saying they have had a good feeling about me falling pregnant soon, I havent believed any of them though! haha. I just hope it is true and its a successful pregnancy. I wld love to prove everyone right! ;) Thankyou for being there, i will text u when i know more. I was at the park today and my battery was about to die otherwise i wldnt have made u wait so long to hear the latest! :) x
I am definitey thinking now i am only 3.5 weeks pregnant, the most I could be is 11-12 dpo since i only saw dh for the first time in 2 weeks on the 29th November. I guess i could be further along, but that wld be a worry because my levels arent high enough I dont think. I just think I fell pregnant when I was in darwin visiting him, my hormones are out of whack because im still breastfeeding so im bleeding but that I am very lucky that i have a very sticky bub which is giving me higher then normal hcg levels for how early i am! I am still pretty confused that the pregnancy test was so strong at 9dpo... but who knows!!
I need to stop trying to work things out in my head because I really have no idea... obviously!! Bring on thursday and getting my results. In the meantime will this bleeding PLEASE STOP!!!! do u think drinking heaps of water might slow it down or wont make any difference...?
Thanks again everybody xx
Hi honey,
I don't have any advice for you, but just wanted to offer you a big:hug:
After waiting so long for your cycle to return I'm praying this one sticks for you.
Make sure you keep us updated!

Got some more blood tests today, one vial of blood clotted the other day when they were testing it so they have to re-do a couple more of the blood samples. I have a drs appointment tomorrow at 12.15pm so hcg levels will be in by then (I'm trying my hardest not to call before then to find out!!) I am going to have a better Dr this time that specialises in women's health that can do a bit of an internal examination to check my cervix so that's good. The nurse I saw today said its definitely normal that I am feeling so anxious since I have had a bad papsmear in the past and that this bleeding isn't like a m/c since there's no cramping etc and that we really need to fond out what the problem is sooner rather then later...she made me feel like not so much of a stresshead! I am going to push for my progesterone levels to be tested tomoro too, i wld hate to have a m/c and then find out it might have been prevented. Hopefully the Dr tomoro will send me for a scan before the weekend... I will show her my bleeding fingernails and she might realise I won't be able to get thru the weekend without one! :) I'm just so terrified of beginning to cramp, but I also can't handle not knowing what's going on much longer!! I just want answers... Or for the bleeding to please stop!!
Oh hun, this is such a stressful situation for you. I really hope you get wonderful results tomorrow!
