View Full Version : Spotting....

I am 9 weeks today, and i had some spotting this afternoon :gloomy:
It was not a huge amount of blood, and it seems to have stopped now. Obviously i am concerned, and if it starts again i am going to the hospital to demand a scan (seeing as nobody would give me one previously, i have no idea if everything is ok or not!!!!)
Anyone else had spotting, and go on to have a healthy pregnancy? I hope the fact that its stopped, and that it was very light is a good sign (if it can be considered a good sign...)

Oh hun! I understand why you are worried!!
Are you having any cramps??
Apparently its quite common to spot during pregnancy and as long as there arent cramps along with it its normally fine.
But if you are still worried hun just go have it checked out!!!
I had a tiny bit of spotting at 11 weeks with DS and it turned out to be nothing!

yip, i had spotting with DS too.
Scared us so much, we went straight to an after hours doctor, just to be sure. They listened to the heartbeat and decided everything was fine.
Spotting can be caused by so many things - recently having had sex, or being constapated included.

Thanks guys :hugs:
I havent had any more spotting since i posted last night which is good :fingerscrossed:
It was a very small amount of blood, sort of like my normal fluid was just tinted with blood, like a pink colour. It was only 3 or so wipes and it was gone.
I tried to call my Ob last night but noone was there. I am not sure what to do now though. Its stopped, so i dont feel like i need to go to the hospital... is it ok to wait until Monday morning and call my Ob? Do you think i should go to an after hours clinic even though its stopped?
I havent had any cramps, and when i noticed the blood i had some small pains in my cervix area (if you know what i mean, not inside my uterus, on the outside..) - barely bad enough to even notice.
I was so worried last night, but this morning i am feeling ok, i have a gut feeling its going to be ok...

Well i am back from the hospital, and with bad news. Im having a miscarriage :crying:
They tested my HCG and it was lower than it was 2 weeks ago, and they still didnt want to give me a scan so i put my foot down and demanded a scan. They finally did one today and there was a sac with nothing in it, about 6 weeks in size....
I KNEW something wasnt right and NOBODY would listen, "no you cant have a scan, you are worrying too much...." I am so p***ed off at the drs who sent me away. I have intuition, and i needed some help.
I still havent had much bleeding, but i am getting a call from the hospital tomorrow or tonight to book in a D&C.
Im so sad, why did this happen, its not fair, all i have wanted for so long is a baby. i did everything right, i took the vitamins for 3 months before, i ate all the right foods.
Thanks to all of you guys who are nothing but supportive, and have helped me through the past 6 weeks. It really has helped me more than i can say.
I wish you all the very best, and i will check in periodically to see how you are all going. And i dont want to see any more m/c, we have had too many this month..... :hugs:

Dont give up though hun! You'll get your baby real soon! I just know it!!
I'm thinking of you!

Thanks Fluffball :hugs:
I know, there has been so many this month.
And you are right, i am not giving up, i am going to pick myself up after this, its going to be ok, and i will have my baby very soon.
If there is anything to be learnt from this, girls please speak up if you have concerns, and dont take no for an answer, because intuition is strong, and you know when something is not right.

Oh Katie, I've been watching you for quite a while now, I was in the ttc thread for a long time and you were there too! When I saw that you got your BFP I was so excited and happy for you!!
I'm deeply sorry about your loss but like you say, you'll pull yourself together and if anything can come from these situations is that we do need to stand up and demand things sometimes!!!
:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs: and more for you right now!! I'm deeply saddened for you!!

Thank you so so much you guys, your kind words really mean so much to me. I cant ask for better friends, you are all so supportive :hugs:
I am probably going to have a rough week, but its ok i will be alright, i will work through it. i plan to get back on the ttc wagon, but not sure how soon, I'll see what the doctor says. Maybe early next year.
I am going to take it easy, i have a week off work to just relax.
And i will be a mummy soon enough, i am destined for it, there is nothing i want more, so i am sure it will happen. This time it wasnt meant to be.
Thanks guys xoxoxoxoxx All the best to every single one of you, you all deserve it.

hi katie, i'm so sorry for your loss. but it goes to show that you really know whats going on in your own body. I was the same as you with the symptoms and the pregnancy...well... the pregnancy kind of didnt feel like it should. I even asked my dr when she got me my bloods back "so i'm definately pregnant?" At least i lost mine within a week of finding out i'm pregnant. Being further along would make it that bit more difficult I would think. Keep your chin up and you'll be pregnant again in no time!!!
