Hi everyone. I was thankful to compare my experiences with those women who have posted in this thread for the last couple years. It reaffirmed some of the feelings and symptoms I have been experiencing. Hope this helps someone else as the stories of Starry Night and Imperfected helped me!
A brief history...
I had been experiencing issues with my period, breakthrough bleeding, shortened cycle length, heavy flow and extreme pain that caused me to miss work. We had been TTC since November 2010, and as she was leaving my doctors office too, my nurse practitioner sent me to a ob/gyn (there are several drs and 2 midwives in the practice). I had an ultrasound and an ovarian cyst was found as well as evidence that I had probably had one burst earlier in the year, this was June 2011. I was supposed to have a follow-up scan in early August because of a thickening in my uterine wall, but discovered I was pregnant! At approximately 6.5 weeks I miscarried. We began running all the basic tests and everything came back normal (except my Thyroid TSH - unrelated diagnosis of subclinical hyperthyroidism).
March 2012 I found out I was pregnant again. 5 days later I miscarried again. More tests and this time as I was approaching 35 a referral to a maternal-fetal specialist. He went over all my blood work from the last two years and decided that my progesterone levels were a little low. Decided that we would try again, adding progesterone once I was pregnant.
Once again found out I was maybe pregnant in August 2012, after a few days of having a very faint line went in to have blood work done, which confirmed a pregnancy, but even though I had started progesterone it was too late and miscarried again. Now we had three losses and had to decide on chromosomal testing. We did it and it came back normal. The next plan was to do progesterone after ovulation and then if I got pregnant to continue through week 12. If not, stop, have period and repeat.
In January it worked! I found out on January 21st that we were expecting again. As soon as my hcg levels were confirmed high enough my dr ordered an ultrasound and we saw a heartbeat (125) and the baby was measuring 5 days ahead of my last period date. Also, the tech saw a uterine polyp that was most likely the cause of my period issues and hormonal issues as well as the thickening of my uterine wall.
All was well until the baby was 8w1d. I couldn't get comfortable to sleep and that discomfort turned to pain and then to bleeding. Fearing another miscarriage, we headed to the ER at almost 2am Tuesday morning, Feb. 19. I was examined, cervix closed, but a lot of bright red bleeding. Blood work and urine samples taken, and then to an ultrasound. After a very uncomfortable half hour the tech took pity on us and showed us the baby and the heartbeat of 162! We were told it was an SCH. The ER doctor was very reassuring that most likely we would have a healthy baby. I was released to call my dr in the morning to be seen. The next day was given signs of what to expect and what to watch out for and put on bed rest till the bleeding stopped. Two days later I was back at work. Friday night I had another bright red bleeding episode. This one didn't last as long and I took it easy all day Saturday and Sunday. Then Sunday night I had a third episode of bright red blood. I called the after hours number and was told to come in for an ultrasound the next day, Monday.
Monday, Feb 25, 9w1d and we went in for an ultrasound and were afraid that was it the baby was gone. Instead it waved at us! Heartbeat 178. (The next day was my first official prenatal appt. at 8 wks.) More bed rest for a couple days and this time the bleeding went away, for almost 2 weeks... Then I began spotting brown again, then bled brown with small clots for nearly 2 weeks and had just started wearing just a pantyliner again when out of nowhere I had another large bleed dark red, this time at work.
Wednesday, March 27, 13w3d Left work, went home to change and pick up the hubby and into the dr's. Was examined, cervix closed, heard the heartbeat. Decided to do an ultrasound to see what was happening with the SCH. Tech almost couldn't find it and said it was so small that if I hadn't been having symptoms she wouldn't have mentioned it. No sign of the polyp! Midwife put me on restriction and modified bed rest for the rest of the week and weekend. Easter weekend.
Tuesday, April 9, 15w2d Next prenatal appt. Cervix closed. Heartbeat good. Still spotting but letting up. Dr doesn't consider me miscarriage risk anymore. Still cycling through bleeding, letting up then coming back every few days. End of the week started noticing when the baby was in a different spot and having tightening of my uterus where it was, BH? On 16w exactly had the quickening day were it wouldn't stop moving all day and the rest of the week pretty active.
16w6d Had a rough day and was passing medium to medium large (golf ball sized and a bit larger) clots with red blood running the color range from lighter to dark. Passed a lot of them over night and called the after hours service on the next day (Sunday). Dr wasn't too concerned. Pretty matter of fact. Spent most of the weekend reading this thread. Had another gush of brighter red blood Monday night and passed another clot and then one more early Tuesday morning. Stayed home on the couch on Tuesday.
Doing much better, the bleeding is letting up and hopefully it will stay that way! Baby is wiggling like crazy on some days and minimal on others. It isn't really comfortable because of the irritation of my uterus, but it is getting better. Also we rented a dopler from babybeats website. It has been a lifesaver for me to listen to the baby's heartbeat whenever I need reassurance.
Have next scan scheduled with the maternal-fetal specialist for my 20 wk anatomy scan. Baby will be 19w1d it is May 6th. Hopefully we will see a happy healthy baby with no SCH and maybe even find out the sex!
Sorry for the novel. Hope everyone is doing well. I will post back my updates.

I cant believe got here and neither can any of our doctors, between the sheer size of the bleed, my cervix shortening and my history of 4 preemies!
