Bleeding isn't always bad news

[plutosblue]

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to offer those ladies who have had bleeding some hope.

I found out I was pregnant on the 21st Dec, by Dec 23rd I started spotting when my AF was due, which soon turned into a 5 day bleed on/off but bright red and enough to fill a pad with clots. We went to the GP who said to just wait it out and test in a few weeks. Well a week later I tested and still a blazing +.

We worried all the way up to the scan which we had the other day but our bubs is fine and they can't find any reason for the bleed!

Hope this just helps someone out there, as I know I was googling like a crazy woman looking for stories

I also bled on Monday, 2 days after my scan. Not as bad as you though.

Had another scan today and baby is fine

I had bleeding in the first trimester too and with my history I thought for sure it was bad news. Everything was ok though and now I am about to go into the third trimester. This is a great thread! I know how worrisome first tri is.

Thanks ladies for sharing your stories, I know it can be so scary but my doctor said its more common than people think and actually a lot of the time things turn out ok

Thanks for posting! Monday, when I was 6 weeks and 1 day, I had two instances where I went to the restroom and there was bright red streaks in my cm. Nothing since, until today, 6 weeks and 4 days, and there it was again, only twice this time too. Had my hcg taken on 6.1 and it was 48,000. Yesterday, 6.3 it was 70,000. Tomorrow I go back since I spotted again, and getting my progesterone and my hcg taken. Is this anything I should worry about? I didn't spot at all in my last pregnancy.. I have wanted this baby for years, and I would be devastated if I lost it. My husband would be too. Any advice?
