| Okay, I posted in the Waiting for Ovulation thread last week that I wasn't sure what was happening, because it looked like AF had arrived, but I really don't know what's going on!! Last Monday I started bleeding, not much, only enough for a liner - it was brown blood and I thought okay, maybe it's just ovulation bleeding (I had my usual O pain and sore boobs etc etc). BUT it's still happening a week later. 95% of the time it's brown blood, but there have been a few occasions of bright red blood. This is NOT normal for me. Does anyone have any ideas what it could possibly be? Alternatively, how long should I wait before going to the doctor? I am due for treatment on my cervix in 2 weeks which I can't be bleeding for (for obvious reasons). |

| Thanks Jess, it's freaked me out a little and I hope it stops soon - I'm still having my o pain which is a little weird...I just need it to stop before my treatment!! |

Fair enough for being freaked out! Have you done any pg tests lately? There is a chance of m/c if you have 'old blood'. Is there anything you are having treatment for which could be causing the bleeding? -------------  |

| I haven't done any pg tests recently no - I thought about it because I've been feeling really nauseous lately, but thought bleh. I haven't been having treatment for anything lately, although I do have ovarian cysts - also thought it could be one of them bursting, but then it wouldn't be old blood would it? And cysts are supposed to be very painful when they burst, and I haven't had any pain over and above my usual pain... The blood got worse after BDing, but only for a day - which I thought may have been from DF hitting my cervix (I have cancerous cells on my cervix which is what I'm going in for treatment on) but then again - it's never happened any other time after BDing. |

I would definately recommend a pregnancy test. I had the same thing and it turned out to be implantation bleeding. Do you still have sore boobs? That was the give away sign for me. ------------- [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Sometimes it can be fresh blood. Like I explained on bumblefoots thread (she asked the same thing last week) the ovum literally blasts out of the ovary and this causes your lining to sometimes shift this is old and new blood. You say that you are having surgery coming up, is that for CIN? Could be that if you do have precancerous cells that do need removing they might be playing a little havoc as well. I honestly thing that if you are worried about it then contact your OBGYN that is performing the surgery. And as others have suggested, a HPT just in case  ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

| Yep, it's for CIN cells although past pre-cancerous grade. My obgyn isn't exactly my fave person, but I might ask my GP if it doesn't stop in a couple days. I will prob do a HPT tomorrow... |

Date Posted: 12 June 2007 at 5:30am
| Ummm, I guess I'll be contacting my ObGyn to say I won't be able to have treatment... 2 lines is 2 lines right? I have no idea how far along I will be, as I only had my period 2-3 weeks ago... |

Yep, cramps are normal, they are usually your uterus starting to expand. It would pay to goto your doctor to confirm the pregnancy and then just to make sure all is okay with the bleeding and cramps. You'll feel a lot better once you have been able to discuss it all with a doctor. -------------

Ok I went to the doctor...the test there was very faint (I showed him the one I did at home this morning but he wanted to confirm) so he's done urgent bloods, as I may need to go to the Early Pregnancy Clinic tomorrow for a scan. He's baffled because it shouldn't be showing up so clearly if I only ovulated last week...so he wants to get a dating scan, and also keep an eye on me because of the bleeding...
fleury - I kept it quiet cos I did it at 5am this morning!!!! I haven't even had a chance to tell DF yet - waiting for him to get home for breakfast (he was at work at 5am). |

| They won't let you have it if you're pregnant, because they're burning off part of the cervix, and your uterus contracts in sympathy. I'm trying not to think - a lot of women say that getting pg has been the best thing that they've ever done when they've had similar problems, as after the pg everything has gone away. |

hey minik8e - a big congrats, how exciting for you.
I had a colposcopy for CNI and the surgeon dude said that getting pregnant was the best way of sorting out the problem, so hopefully pregancy will be a good thing for me in that respect. so you are going the right way about it ! ------------- http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/">

Hugs Kate Sorry, I asked a question on your other thread but you kinda answered it here. You are still really early in your cycle though which might explain why your hcg levels are low. Was that the only reason he thought you might be m/c'ing?
Hugs to you either way, what a torrent of emotions you have been through over the last few days. -------------

Don't feel bad about being sad! You've been TTC so your hopes were already part up in a way, now to finally conceive just to m/c  And your body and hormones now has to go through the whole thing, take care of yourself. There is a thread on here somewhere about m/c symptoms.------------- |

| Well I've been to the doc for my second set of bloods... I get the results this afternoon. He looked at it, and if I actually conceived last week, then my hcg level is in the normal range. But the blood makes things uncertain. He also did the usual antenatal tests, just so we know for the future (ie. blood group, rubella etc). |

| I'm frustrated. I'm supposed to have treatment for CIN cells in 13 days, which they won't do if pg or bleeding...if I'm def not pg, then I want stuff sorted so I can get my treatment over and done with!! I'm just so up and down and feel like throttling someone until they give me a straight answer...even DF asking, and I can only tell him - I'm not pg with a viable foetus, but it's not going anywhere fast either...so he says well are you or aren't you? What do you say to that? I am, but not really??? |

I'm sorry you haven't got support from your mum at this time. With the hcg changes I was wondering perhaps if there were twins and you still have one? Doesn't sound like your levels would be high enough though. Pretty baffling. The unfortunate thing is that with a m/c you may bleed for 2 weeks which is a pain for your surgery! ------------- |

Scan was....anticlimactic really. No sign of pg, or ectopic or anything. So could still be a really early pg, but that doesn't explain the numbers. There is a 4cm x 4.5cm cyst on my right ovary though, which has almost doubled in size in just over 2 months...
My doctor has said this is out of his expertise, he doesn't know what else could be happening except maybe I'm very very rare and have a cyst that is producing hcg. Either way, he's referring me to a gynaecologist, because something just isn't right. |

I'm testing that I have been/am pregnant and am either having a miscarriage or am in EARLY pg - although my hcg levels aren't rising, or falling...scan shows no pg, unless it's too early to show, and no m/c... but hcg levels are still high 20s...The doctor reckons he may do some reading this weekend to try and find other cases similar...
Not sure how long I will have to wait really, I have an appt with a gyn in a week and a half for CIN cell treatment so may see if the same one can deal with this issue. |

The thing that I have found with the gyn etc. at Waikato is that you are just another patient... nothing else. Just another NHI number really. My GP has been in contact with them and basically they don't want to know unless I'm still bleeding, and only then because it means the treatment won't go ahead. Answers would def be good though!! My doc has actually been fantastic, he's not my usual GP (who has left the Uni Health Centre as I found out) but he's been far more proactive than any other doc I've ever dealt with - I've had all the blood tests done for TTC and he's told me that once we start ACTIVELY trying, if nothing has happened after 6 months (because of our ages) then he will be taking action. That was a load off my mind.
BS - DF is...hrmm...not handling it so well. He even chose a boy's name just in case (we had already chosen a girl's name) and now...yeah, not so good. I think I'm handling it a lot better than him to be honest. |

I was just thinking about you today Kate. If your hormone levels drop and you do have a m/c, you will most likely experience the "baby blues", a few days of feeling kinda depressed. Watch your iron levels if you continue to bleed too. Just a few practical things. ------------- |

Hugs Kate, I am so sorry you are going thru all of this!
I had a dand c after my last miscarriage, and I know Janine had one recently too. It's usually day surgery, you have a general anaesthetic and then gently scrape out your uterus to remove any tissue remaining that shouldn't be there. I had a couple of days of spotting afterwards, I know some people have bleeding more like a period but it doesn't usually last too long. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Oh and they'll be able to test the tissue they remove to rule out a molar/partial molar pregnancy, altho I agree with your doc that it sounds unlikely, coz molar pregnancies are also associated with abnormally high levels of hCG in the blood. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Hey mini, sorry to hear about everything
I had a D&C 3 years ago. It was pretty straight forward. I booked into the hospital at 9 in the morning, they got me set up in a bed in the day stay unit and gave me a medication to dilate my cervix. I wasn't allowed anything to drink after 8pm the night before, so I was pretty dehydrated - they let me have a mouthful of water to swallow the pill. By 2pm I'd gone into surgery (general anaesthetic) and was awake again by 3pm. They'd hooked up IV fluids so I felt much more hydrated. It was pretty rough waking up. It was a bit of a shock and I had a little bit of bleeding and cramping. But I felt like myself physically a couple of days later. Of course, emotionally it's not a great time. But physically it's fairly unintrusive. I hope this helps

I'm so sorry.
There is a m/c section and Mum2Paris (Janine) recently posted her story in there (and a few others besides). ------------- |

| Well I'm about ready to strangle some doctors and demand serious investigations to find out just what the heck is going on with me. My hcg has come down to 17, from 28 a week ago - not typical of a m/c. According to the doc, the scan is indeterminate. An ectopic cannot be ruled out. An internal was painful. So next step, an urgent appt with a gyn first thing tomorrow morning. |

Fair enough. Personally I wouldn't want a D&C based on a Doctor's assumption
What is typical of hcg with m/c? I know it's supposed to drop but I don't know the numbers. At a guess I would have said what you said sounds about right ------------- |

| Apparently it's supposed to drop quickly...whereas I went down 1 over the space of 2 days, then 10 over the space of 5 days...I dunno much anymore!! I just know that to date, I've been bleeding for over 2 weeks, and something needs to be done...because no-one can say why. |

Oh Kate, that's awfull!  
All the best for tomorrow morning! I've always said, and I'll say again, that there's a reason they call it the medical practice!! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

I agree ginger - I just wish rather than keep testing for the same thing, they'd look to see what is actually wrong instead of maybe this, or maybe that.
DF is just as frustrated as I am, although the thing he is most concerned about (being a man and all) is when we can have sex again, as the doctor told me not to have sex cos if it is a miscarriage, semen can cause an infection in the uterus while it's healing. So all he wants to know is when he can get some action again!!! And thinks I'm being too soft and should get angry with the doctors to get some action....whereas I'm just not that sort of person. |

Mini - I hope your DF is as concerned about your physical and emotional well-being as he is about having sex.

| Well, have had my appt with the gyn, have been given a tablet or two to move things along, they're 99% sure it's a miscarriage. Then I have my cervical treatment and a laparoscopy on 16 July. My hcg results are still at 20 (they went up in the last 2 days) but yeah. At least now we know. |

Well I'm sad for you but I guess at least you can still have your treatment. Hmmmm that's not much comfort ------------- |

Sorry to hear of your loss, I guess now you can get your treatment, and on the plus side at you know you can conceive. Look after yourself and be gentle with your body.

Minik8e, Im sorry to hear that all is not well. At least now you know relatively what is going on. It can be so frustrating not knowing. I know this wont help you feel any better, and you will work thru it in your own time, but I guess this is my ham-footed way of saying Im thinking of you. Take care hun! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
