so sorry ttcstill
Hi ready4baby
I really hope that you've just experienced a bit of isolated spotting and that all is well. Try not to worry.
About 3 hours ago, I got some browny-coloured mucus when I wiped and went into an immediate panic. The doctor I spoke to on the phone was reassuring, saying many women experience slight bleeding like this and go on to have healthy pregnancies. She advised that if I bled more than I would for a normal period or if I had cramps or passed clots, I should contact A&E. I am hoping and praying that it was just a one-off and my bean is ok. The doctor booked me in for an early scan, but that is a whole week away (next Tuesday).

Thank you Minky! The doc I spoke to last night was equally reassuring about how common it is as the little bean settles into the thick lining...still nerve-wracking though! So far today, I have not had any more spotting. I had my blood drawn today, so we will see what it says. to you and I hope your spotting, like mine, will be nothing to worry about!
I'm due September 23rd!!
Hey Minky, has your spotting stayed away? Mine has not been back today and I'm glad for that. HCG today was 313 at probably 17dpo; that's in the normal range so I'm happy about that too! Anyone else have any hcg values to compare with?
Okay so my scan showed that I have not passed the products of the pregnancy.... we are going to wait until next Tuesday and if it has not passed by then we will have a DNC on Wednesday. I have to wait 6 weeks after the DNC or after I start bleeding to begin testing.... they are going to do a genetic profile on me and the OH to be sure that there is not a genetic problem between the two of us. Plus they will do multiple tests on me to determine if there is a factor that I have that is causing the problem.... finally light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully its not a genetic problem between the two of us and whatever they find can be fixed.
