Sch group (Subchorionic Hematoma)

[Angelmarie]

Thanks for that Alex. Its really interesting what you say about the sch not being that visible during active bleeding.

Once I am on my feet again I will definitely be pursuing this with my GP.

Yes the mention of a termination really pissed me off. I just thought that was a really cruel thing to say when I was obviously so worried. He was a really freaky doctor anyway - spoke too slowly and precisely and coldly and I swear I didnt see him blink once.

Will keep you posted. Thanks again

I was warned about the possiblity of terminating only if I started to hemorrhage and my life was in danger.

i know the same when my doctor was telling me if a miscaraige going to happen it's going to happen !!! it was so depressing ....

i intent to ask the specialist why the regular GYN or emergency doctor are so not well inform about the hematoma ....you go there you practically lose 1 liter of blood so to speak the only answer they have is...sometimes women bleed and we just don't why !!!

my ass they dont know why !!!...

Hi Ladies

Hope we are all doing ok .
Havent been around much cause of college and been having some really bad pains in stomach all low down so went to get checked and they are going to keep an eye on me as they dont know what is causing it.
When they 1st told me about the sch they advised me to have a termination and told them where to go because i had to have a medical termination in 07 due to the baby not being formed properly, but the consultant i was under was terrible thats why i moved my care to another hospital. Ladies if your not happy with any of your care please get 2nd doctor to check you over. xx

 

[miel]

[Kota]

well back from the OB and have no answers and have just been upset more. Again, another Dr telling me all about miscarriages and there being absoloutely nothing I can do to prevent it. Full details are in my journal but in short, I'm going to ignore him and stay on pretty much bedrest, maybe go for a short walk every couple of days if I haven't been spotting. They really don't have good bedside manner these Dr's do they???

 

[Fluxuspoem]

Miel -> GOOD LUCK I hope it all goes great!

Kota-> Honey I read your journal about that idiot doctor and have responded there. We are all here to support you, dont let stupid advise get you down

Mumof42009-> Honey, so sorry to hear your dd is not well, hopefully it will be just a cold and not that horrible swine flu. Glad to hear your pains are gone, stress can cause contractions so you've got to be very careful!

I posted in your journal. I still cant believe how rubbish the doc was I think all the docs and nurses whom deal with pregnant women should have compulsory training in sympathetic bedside manners! It would be different if it was them on the receiving end of their nonchalant, cruel attitudes

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

 

[Mumof42009]

Hello everyone

I am not even in the second trimester yet but its is the only group I can find with blood clots/bleeds. I would love to join this thread if that is OK?

Miel - I recognise you from LTTTC. I was TTC for 2 1/2 years before they diagnosed blocked fallopian tubes due to past chamydial infection. That was in Jan this year. I was due to start IVF end of May but got a shock mid may. Went into complete panic over ectopic for no other reason that I couldn't see how bubs could have made it down my tubes. After a torturous 11 day wait I found out it did. Yay. Anyway i was so pleased when you got your but now sorry to hear you are going through this stress now. Is there any let up for us??

I had a six week scan where we saw the heartbeat but we also saw another dark blob about the size of the embyo sac on the other side of my uterus. Nurse was not concerned and said its normal and some women have it. She warned me i might get bleeding and i didn't think anything of it.

On Monday I started to get brown mucus and went into panic, kind of forgot about the blob, and thought the worse. Rang up EPU and they politely told me to relax and wait and see, won't scan unless bleeding is critical. I started thinking and remembered the blob and rang doctor to talk about it. He confirmed its a blood clot and reckons its probably dissolving and coming out. I have had brown blood in mucus on and off and the worst was last night when I saw stringy slimy bits of brown coming out, quite long. With some light pink as well. This morning it is slight again with small stringy dark brown bits. I have ( and i am sorry TMI) loose stools and diarreah as well like when my period starts. Had some cramping but not severe and could be my guts anyway. Does this all sound normal for a blood clot? Did anyone here have old blood before more came out or was it fresh blood folowed by brown? what were peoples guts like (if that is not too personal?)

I am guessing mine is smallish as it was about the size of the sac at 6 weeks, maybe a touch bigger.

You all are so brave with what you are coping with and i really admire you all and am hope that things go alright. I have booked a private scan for Tuesday as need to know whats going on, think my DH thinks I am jumping the gun as NHS scan is in three weeks. Three weeks is a lifetime to me though.

Thanks for reading this and hoping someone can give me some advice.

Re;the brown,Ive had quite a few bleeds now and its been different each time,sometimes Ive bled brown then red but others Ive had nothing then red which turned to brown,sooo its quite a hard one really.
BUT brown blood is ok as its old blood,so keep up the PMA!obv if blood becomes red contact EPU or A+E!
hope everything works out ok for you hunni!

Hi Bramblettes - welcome here

With SCHs its absolutely normal to have quite a lot of brown CM. Stringy bits, clotty, mucus stuff they are all part of the whole thing. I personally had cramps when I had the brown bits as it was the old blood in my uterus causing mild contractions and was on paracetamol to avoid this.

I had brown stuff for a very long period of time ( I think a month and a half or two months) before it actually stopped. The hematoma is still there but reduced in size and the doctor told me that the brown stuff was that old blood coming out and not to worry about it. He specifically said, if I see any red blood to contact him right away.
Oh I forgot to say that I had loose stools till week 12 and we never found out why this happened. I actuallys till get that occasionally and not sure its SCH related.

I completely understand the need for a scan early to see what is happening. I would be the same too. Three weeks is way too long to wait.

One suggestion could be that you ask them to measure the clot so you get a better idea of the size of it?

Big hugs, I hope you get positive news on your next scan XXX

 

[Brambletess]

Thanks Fluxuspoem and Emma2810 - I feel better for your replies. I think the loose stools is probably ok as have also had this on and off and i do suffer from IBS. Its probablly stress as well. I have a headache today as well which is stress and dehyratioin I think as haven't peed in night last few nights and my pee this mortning was really yellow so am drinking gallons today.

I think i have to get used to this brown blood as it may be my annoying friend for a while. Just another little question - the cramps you had was it a bit like period pains as well?

 

[Fluxuspoem]

Yes my cramps were like mild to medium AF pains and my doctor prescribed paracetamol to stop my uterus from contracting ( its the blood traped inside that is causing this)

Drink LOTS of water, rest and take a paracetamol to ease the pain and relax your uterus a bit. The brown is not a bad thing, for me it was actually a good thing as it reduced my hematoma size eventually.

Big hugs -XXXX-

 

[Angelmarie]

Im still bleeding bright red and had more clots this morning. The cramps dont seem to have been as bad though so thats a good thing? LO has been going crazy dancing in my tummy today though which is really reassuring

I have booked an appointment with my GP for Monday morning to try to get a referral. Fingers crossed I might get some answers soon. It will be a week tomorrow since this patch of bleeding started and it has shown no signs of turning brown yet
