I'm in week 8 of pregnancy (actually due to have my first scan tomorrow) and have had brown 'bleeds' off and on for the last couple of weeks with the occasional red bit in it.
The spotting stopped 2 or 3 days ago but then today it's back - and it's not just spotting, and it's not brown, it's bright red. Also had a bit of crampy pain earlier today.
Went to the loo just now and amongst the red there was 'something' very dark in the loo - about 2 or 3cm long, maybe 5or 6mm across, and question mark shaped.
I'm now panicking - could it have been my bean?
Never seen anything like it before :(

Hi Cazkat

Just wanted to say I hope your scan today has given you some positive news. I guess nobody can say for sure what it is that you saw, but a scan will be able to tell you 100% if everything is okay.

Take care

Thanks Helen....

unfortunately my scan was not conclusive, so I have to go back in another week for another scan.

Looks like both embies had implanted and what I saw was one of them mc'ing. The other one is still hanging in there but is smaller than it should be - there WAS a heartbeat, even though that was slower than it should be... so I still don't know for certain.

My remaining bean was 7mm and it should have been 9mm by now, so it's not a long way behind in terms of size and I think the slow heartbeat is probably more of an issue :(

Hey ho, going to take it as easy as I can for the next week or so and just hope and pray that my 'too small' one makes it...

Hi Caz

I have read your reports and I hope you are OK?

I had a similar experience at the beginning of the year with twins and was in and out for scane. A very hard time. Mine didnt work out in the end as I ended up being ill and I guess my beans just were not meant to be. I am not back on it and hopefully starting a new cycle in July/August.

I really hope everything was OK at your last scan. You can bleed in the early stages so everything could be totally fine with your tiny bean.

Take care

Hi Braxton

just wanted to reply and say yes, everything is fine now with the 2nd embie :) had a scan earlier today and all is as it should be!

Spoke to my DP's mum the other day ans apparently she bled all the way through her pregnancy too... so I'm now blaming DP for my bleeding ;)

Anyway - panic over, lol... and thanks for asking ;)
