Well I guess I will update in this thread as well.

Went for a scan at my Ob yesterday and was met by his ultrasound lady who also happens to be his wife! Have met her a couple of times before and so were comfortable with what she would tell us.

We were all prepared for the worst news, but it wasn't. Bub was there with a hb of 189 and measuring what it should. She found the source of the bleed which was nowhere near the implantation site which looked fined.

She said that hormones can get out of whack and if progesterone levels are too low then this can trigger like a period (not one obviously cause I'm pg) where the lining of the uterus which doesn't have the implantation is lost. Apparently this is how women get to 20 weeks not knowing they were pg as they kept getting periods. The pregnancy could progress as normal and I could just get some bleesing every couple of weeks (the timing fits as I am 8 weeks 1 day, so a period would have been due had I not been pg!)

The bleeding got heavier yesterday afternoon and was quite dark. It eased off later in the afternoon and stopped by the time I went to bed. This morning just a couple of brownish smears, but since coming back from the shops, some more bright red bleeding. Not nearly as much as yesterday or enough to reach a pad, but enough to freak me out everytime I go to the loo.

I was quite confident yesterday after leaving the ultrasound, but as the day wore on and the bleeding got worse I realised that bleeding like this can't possible have a happy ending. I was so confused when I left yesterday as I was ready to be told it was all over. I had accepted it. But to be told it hadn't gave us that little glimmer of hope that we didn't really want. I feel so bad for DH as he had such a good feeling about this pg and was so confident after we left yesterday, but I have been sharing too much info with him and have upset him.

You guys are the only ones who understand where I am coming from. I know he has been through the last 3 mc with me, but when it is happening in your body, it is different.

I know some ladies have success with getting progesterone up with vitex. Would it be too late to take it now do you think? I have my first "official" appointment tomorrow with the Ob and he will do another scan. I am not confident that he will see a viable foetus. I think I might let nature take its course with this one rather than elect to have a D&C as I did the last 3 times. I have a list of questions to ask him tomorrow and I want some answers as the info we get will determine if we try again or call it quits.

THank you all for listening and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
