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.

:hug:
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. :hug:

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

:hug: 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.

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?

Rest rest rest. Take it easy and try not to do too much.

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?

Big :hug:

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.
xx :hug:

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all your advice and support.

Bleeding again. **** it. Im just going to assume its gone and if I'm wrong, well thats great.
Asked DF to go buy me a test. Apparently we cant afford it (which is crap, we just cant afford it AND what he wants to do today). *******.

oh Calluna big congratulations hun!!!!!!!!

i just read your announcement, then i saw this.... i'm crossing everything possible for you hun... sending lots of hugs your way. rest up and take it easy. when do you get your blood tests results back?

:hug:

Havent been yet, appointment at 2 20. Still bleeding everytime I go to the toilet. Going to ask for the results to be rushed so I can be put out of my misery. Thinking I'll ask for an US as well even though I know they wont see more than a sack even if it is viable. Just knowing if its in the right place or even still there would be extremely reassuring!
Slightly worried it might be an ectopic now as I have sharp pain in the left side of my abdomen. Thought about going to hospy but dont want to look like a moron and my appointment is in less than an hour anyway. Plus I have some other random stabby pains and crampyness so it could just be a slightly more intense version of that. None of it is particularly painful, Id say the worst (being the left side pain) is about a 4. Quite uncomfortable but not unbearable itms?

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.

thinking of you, sending lots of sticky vibes :hug:

Yep you can get results rushed within a few hours.

All the best hun.
