Who's on the journey of IVF/FET for Aug/Sept 2011?

Hi Lala - just read your journal - this was so helpful, thank you so much.  I'm concerned about the clear fluid, this would be fluid from the placenta I guess?

[storkgirl]

Thank you SO much Lala.  Did you ever have clear fluid as well?  That is how mine started.  I thought og your hematoma right away last night and tried to find your posts.  I'll look for your journal....  How much blood did you have?  I had maybe 2+ tablespoons.  Thanks again for your posts.  I really appreciate it.

Oh, the comments in my journal about bleeding is under "occasional light brown and pink spotting. " That's how the bleeding started and then a week later I got the big gush of red.

Hang in there! I had red bleeding at 7 weeks and it was a hematoma which is quite common, and usually clears on its own by 20 weeks. I hear of a lot of other women who have had the same thing with tons of red blood and clots and their baby/babies were just  fine. Hang in there, and just because your doc says wait until Monday doesn't mean you can't go over to the emergency room and check with an ultrasound for peace of mind.  If you look at my journal under bleeding, you'll see some comments that will make you feel better.

OK - all was going so well - was coming off the hormones in two days and hitting 12 weeks on Friday.  Tonight I have bleeding, red and quite a bit.  I paged my doc.  He has me on bed rest until Monday when they will do the NT u/s that was supposed to be this Thursday.  I had a clear discharge before the blood.  Hope the babies are OK........  Going to be a long wait until Monday...

Hi Storkgirl!

I thought I gained about 10 pounds, but if the scale at my hematologist's is right, I only gained 2 in two weeks. The hematologist scale was different from my docs so maybe the 2 pounds weren't accurate. I think from my transfer to the time of my 7th week appointment I already gained about 6 from nervous eating and no exercise, but I am tracking my weight from my first weigh in at 7 weeks. The truth will be told on Wednesday when I get weighed at my docs. I am pretty sure I gained at least 8 in the last 3 weeks. I've been eating so much and have been on bed rest so no exercise. It's so nice to be tracking weight for my baby sake and not for my self! I am definitely showing, but maybe so much in clothes. My belly is round and not my shape and hard. It feels weird when I sit. My next ultrasound is at 11 weeks, next week. Always scary!
