    Thankyou all, your support is invaluable.
    After a full day in bed on Saturday, things seemed better yesterday. Still some cramping but bleeding almost stopped. Today woke up feeling ok and headed to clinic as was due BT anyway.
    As soon as I got there, I was hit with excruciating pain. Not cramping, sharp, horrible pain a bit like i have had with kidney stones although much lower. Struggled to toilet to find HEAVY bleeding yet again. Fortunately, got a scan almost immediately.
    So, at 5w6d, we have twins again! Both with HBs (96 and 110bpm) and both measuring 6w. NO sign of where bleeding coming from at all although given it has only just started again, may be to early to see SC haematoma. Ovaries are huge with some blood and fluid around them but this would have been there since the IVF EPU and not the source of current horrific pain.
    So I am happy and sad today. Great of course that we are still in with a chance but petrified by the not good symptoms which could still indicate bad news to come.
    It is very much like my last loss when an initial scan after bleeding looked fine but 1 week later, i had massive, massive bleeding and the babies died. i don't ever seem to actually "lose" them , just something goes on in there to cause bleeding etc to kill them.

    Congratulations Meredith on two live little babies today!

    Can I ask how much prednisone you are on? You are doing all you can to bring these babies to your arms. I know that you didn't mention this but it is very very possible that you have a cystic ovary from the ivf and this erupted - I had excruciating pain at around 5-6 weeks with Immy and we put it down to that. The blood floating around your pelvic cavity causes pain also. That blood could be from there as well.

    Those babies are alive. You are pregnant. They are measuring equal to dates. This is all all all positive! I am so happy for you...

    Meredith, saw your brief post in IVF with PGD thread but finally stalked you to here and caught up on the progress...I am so happy that there are two little heart beats there and all going well...I know you are anxious and can't help to compare what happened before, but try to be positive and sending you loads of sticky vibes your way and whatever the bleeding is hope it will stop soon...

    Thinking of you...

    Oh Meredith big big to you, what an awful anxious time. But wonderful news that you have 2 babies in there that are looking good.

    I have had bleeding this pg, but nothing like you, and still it scared the absolute cr@p out of me, as the only bleeding I had ever had before did not end well It is an awful thing to be going through.

    that the bleeding stops for you and everything works out - stick little ones stick!
