Thanks so much Nikki
Brier, I have what you have. It sounds like cervical entropian or cervical erosion or simply an irritated cervix. Really common!! When I had spotting at 12 weeks I told the hospital I had a scan 2 days prior and everything was fine and dandy so I don't believe tje bleeding was coming from my uterus as a clot would of shown two days ago, i'd like to see if its coming from my cervix. They just wanted to take a blood test to check pregnancy hormone levels. I pointed out that with a successful scan two days prior even if the baby had died the levels would still be high, not to mention 12w is an impossible time to determine what a normal level would be. But alas no cervix check. Then at 13w when I had bleeding the hospital gave me ultrasounds and a large amount of tests and I saw a midwife, even tho I had all my results and we had our answers I asked her to kindly check my cervix I just feel like I have to know its fine. So she got an ob in who took one look and said yep cervical entropian! I was told to avoid sex and that it'll fix itself. I know my bleeding was due to our loss of the second sac/twin but during the conversation about the entropian she said it can cause little ulcers which are more like irritated parts, if you bump one during sex they can cause a lot of bleeding and freak the pregnant women right out!!!! Lol. Which sounds like what happened to you.
Ducky - I just can't even process the difficulty you must face losing your sister. My friend lost her brother about a year ago and the healing and dealing with it is such a long process, she obviously still gets very upset by his passing and its so hard for her and I imagine it is for you too. When I was in November sparklers a mumma lost her sister suddenly, she was found dead on her lounge they believe the cause as a heart condition she had which everyone was told (including the sister) was non life threatening. But this mumma in sparklers really really struggled with her sisters passing. She was very lost for quite some time. I hope you are recieveing the support and help someone in your situation would need. I have 3 sisters and 3 brothers and I cant even allow myself to imagine what it would be like to lose one of them. I'm so terribly sorry.
