Bleeding after stopping progesterone

I am 12 weeks 3 days pregnant via IVF, stopped meds at 12 weeks and today started red spotting. Not sure if this is normal or if I should ring my clinic.

Deffo call the clinic! I was on progesterone pessaries & didn't bleed when I stopped them. I was on them due to recurrent MC & had to stay on them for 34 weeks the first time & I came off them at 26 the next!!x

This happened to me but I had a diagnosed SCH. Basically at the first sign of bleeding at 8 weeks my RE pumped up my progesterone a TON. I didn’t bleed again until I was weaned from the progesterone and at that point I had a massive bleed and passed palm sized clots. Progesterone suppresses the bleeding I think so there may be a chance you had an undiagnosed SCH and this is just you expelling the blood. Definitely ring your doctor.

Call them this happened to me the medication had suppressed a miscarriage after stopping medication I started to bleed slowly

I had a diagnosed SCH at 6 weeks and they stopped blood thinners and it stopped. Thank you for sharing your experience, I called but keep getting voicemail and I also messaged them on the app

I had a scan on Monday and babies were doing very good. Waiting on response from doctor.

This happened to me Tuesday I ended up at the epu today and they said the bleed came from my placenta taking over and they can see more blood so to expect to spot more. I got represcribed progesterone up to 16 weeks. I also had to have an anti shot due to being a negative blood type

It has slowed down a lot and is dark brown. Nothing on a pad yesterday or today. My doctor said to keep with my original appointment for this coming Tuesday but if it got worst to go to the ER. I haven’t had any cramping which makes me feel like Telo’s cramping I did have just have been the progesterone. Just hoping everything is ok, I also used Doppler(I am not an expert) to listen for babies and heard both their heartbeats last night.

Am I making the right choice?

I have recently decided to go for an elective C-section.
If this was your last birth experience would you do the same? I know it’s an individual choice but I keep doubting myself but I just had such a bad time… 😞

It was a Vbac …. Ended with…

-episiotomy with forceps
-retained placenta
-2litres blood loss with transfusion.
-GBS positive (probably going to be positive again)
-since birth 4 years ago i have been having issues with bowel incontinence 🙈

Husband help

FTM
We have to have an early elective c section for medical reasons on Friday. My husband seems not to understand recovery at all, suggesting we have his brother's within the week and go out for dinner etc at 2 weeks as I should have 'recovered' by then. This seems too much to me, am I being unreasonable?

Induction

I'm being induced at 37 weeks on Saturday, please can you share your experiences with me.. I'd like to have an idea what to expect. I know everyone is different but I'm a little anxious

Questioning if I should be concerned

I had an etopic pregnancy last January which resulted in losing my right tube.

We just found out we were pregnant 2 weeks ago when I was 8dpo and since then, my line progression has done well. I ended up getting bloodwork done last week on Thursday which my hcg was 88 which I didn’t know until today after my ultrasound-

Today I am to be 5 weeks and 2 days well..

I had an ultrasound vaginal and stomach, I was told she couldn’t see anything and I was asking if we should be concerned. The nurse then told me what my hcg was on Thursday and said that it is very very early. I told her why we came early was to make sure we do not lose another tube. She said they wouldn’t see it until 6 plus weeks.

I just don’t know if I should be worried about her not seeing a gestational sac- nothing. And I was told to come back in 3 weeks.

Does my hcg of being 88 truly mean I am earlier then what I had thought.

Just looking for some comfort please, I don’t want to go through waves of feeling like everything is going to be alright and then crashing.

My line progression and flo dates I apparently ovulated on the 3rd of March

Should I be concerned. I am thinking to get more labs done to see what my hcg has went up to and hopefully they can tell me if it’s good or not.

12-18 month wait

Hi - my midwife said 12-18 month wait before having another baby post c section, I think I may be pregnant again too soon to test but I just have a feeling. I’m 8M PP, so baby would be due around December which would be 17-18 months. Has anyone had a second c section in this time frame? Is it 12-18 months from c section or to get pregnant after then?
