Sorry I've been fairly quiet on here since finding out I was PG two weeks ago - had a bit of a crappy time and it's hard to get too excited just at the moment.
8 days ago I started with 5 days of brown spotting, then it disappeared until yesterday when I had a little more (just once when I went to the loo) and then nothing all day.
This morning I was stood at the bathroom mirror and oh dear - a load of fresh blood (all I can say is, thank god for tiled floors
). It was really watery in consistency, but really dark red in colour. I went to the loo. Then the next time I went, nothing! Clear as anything (and thankfully I've not had any more all day) but anyway I headed up the EPFAU (they keep changing their name - now they are called the 'Early Pregnancy & Foetal Assessment Unit').
They did a scan and found five things: a sac, a yolk, a cyst, a clot and a fibroid! Was very surprised to see the sac and the yolk - I suppose I was just expecting the worst, ie nothing there - so very pleased about that.
She thinks this morning's bleed was caused by the clot - she pointed it out on the screen, it was next to the pregnancy sac but she said they are fairly common and nothing to worry about. She said I might have more bleeding, but anything that's left in it might just re-absorb back into my body instead.
She then said she thought she saw a cyst next to one of my ovaries, but she also said it could just be where the egg was released, and so it might not actually be a cyst. And the fibroid, well, I knew about that anyway so that didn't come as any surprise.
So - next scan next Monday, when I'll be 6w 5d. She said all being well we should see the heartbeat, so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed all week!
