Welcome newcomers.
Jaan just because the dr identified an SCH doesn't mean there would have been bleeding of you weren't on progesterone. Thats not the type of bleeding it prevents as an SCH is literally a small pool of blood that can randomly open and start to bleed. Its very rarely harmful - only if its located in a spot that,if it should bleed a lot, might affect the baby's attachment to the uterine wall. Agiajn like I said a very rare occurrence. Unless you've been told otherwise, bed rest is NOT necessary, but lifting and exercise restrictions might be helpful. An SCH is formed at implantation, and mine didn't even start to bleed until 14 weeks I didn't know I had one until then.
The Canadian equivalent of ACOG recommends one scan in pregnancy for most women, and most Canadian Drs will only do one or two routine scans. Because of your history and age I'm sure you could convince him to send you for an early scan. I personally think jts really better to wait until 7 weeks (unless there is an indication for an earlier one like bleeding or symptoms of ectopic etc) as prior to 7 weeks there's really nothing to see and more often than not can cause more worries than they alleviate. But thats just my opinion of course - you'll have to weigh your own risk vs benefit.

I consume very little caffeine due to a heart murmur, dont drink normally (though alcohol is one thing I would restrict in pregnancy if I did drink normally. I know too many people - my sister included - who have FAE or full blown FAS from their mother havjng just one or two drinks in pregnancy. Many are fine for sure, but there just isn't enough known yet about the affect of alcohol on babies development) and I don't like Brie and Camembert and other types of cheeses lol. If I had a craving I probably would indulge though.
i don't think it's unusual at all..I know my midwife doesn't see me typically till 12 weeks..I had a blighted ovum last preg so that's why I had a couple early ones..could always ask when your first ultrasound typically is??
! I haven’t experienced loss, so won’t pretend to understand how painful it must be, but I did have a small scare yesterday that gave me a small inkling in to how hard it must be on you to lose your little bean. I hope you’re next pregnant is a very healthy and sticky one!
. I don’t actually like soft drink, but it sounds interesting.
