I feel like I am losing my mind. I have been through so much with this pregnancy that I never experienced with my son who I had four years ago. It seems like I have been bleeding practically the whole time which is enough to make anyone a little crazy. It took me almost two years to conceive my son and I had the most normal pregnancy ever. This was a one shot deal and I feel like I am experiencing pregnancy for the first time all over again. Here is what has occurred:
3 weeks- Positive test
4 weeks- Spotting
5 weeks- moderate bleeding- early ultrasound, no problems or SCH detected. Put down to implantation/increased blood flow to the cervix.
6 weeks- Spotting
7 weeks- episode of bright red bleeding- ER ultrasound showed small SCH above the cervix, baby measured to dates and had strong heartbeat.
8 weeks- bleeding subsided- internal ultrasound at OBGYN showed no more SCH, baby measuring to dates, strong heartbeat.
9 weeks- had sex and began bleeding 48 hours later. Ultrasound at OBGYN shows no SCH, baby measuring to dates, strong heartbeat.
10 weeks- still spotting--sometimes red, sometimes brown, sometimes small clots. Some days there is nothing.
I can't help but feel like my OBGYN is missing something. Only once has anyone bothered to examine my cervix or take blood since my initial labs and that was in the ER. I asked the ultrasound tech if a SCH could develop or reoccur and she said that it is usually a developmental thing around the time of implantation which implies to me that this was the source of bleeding all along. Could it be that the tech is missing the SCH because it is so small? I find it strange that it could not be seen at any of her ultrasounds--which last 5 minutes--while the ER tech spent 30 minutes looking and found it.
Also, has anyone else experienced this or anything similar? I am really holding onto hope that the baby will be okay and this bleeding/spotting will stop. I really just need some support right now. This board was my go-to with my son. Thanks ladies.
