New (again) to bump and newly pg w/?

Hi all!

Just thought I'd introduce myself...DH and I have been TTC #1 for almost 7 1/2 years.  We've been to several OBs, 2 REs, I have had three surgeries for endometriosis, had 2 chemical pgs.  This IUI was the fourth by current RE.

My first beta was 36 12dpiui and 120 14dpiui.  EDD is 9/1/13.  

Now onto my question!  I'm using Endometrin 3x/day.  I've had pinkish/reddish spotting and cramping daily since 11.  The nurse said it wad normal and likely from the Endometrin and applicator.  I'm still just really nervous about it though!!! We are out of town until Christmas Day, so can't really do anything about it.  Has anyone else experienced this and gone on to a healthy pregnancy???  TIA

Hello and welcome! Also congrats! :)

i never had any spotting from the endometrin, but I know others have had spotting or even bleeding and everything went on to be fine. I would make sure you aren't sticking it up too high...getting it right up by your cervix can irritate what may already be a sensitive spot. Those tablets aren't exactly soft and squishy.

I had mild cramping for the first few weeks, and that seems pretty common, though it freaked me out. Your beta more than doubled, so that is a good sign. Even if you weren't out of town, there isn't really much they can do/tell you other than more betas. (Sometimes you can do a beta at an oit of town lab...maybe ask your nurse if this is a possibility?) I would try not to worry, especially if it stays light spotting. Hopefully you will get some reassuring news at your next appointment! :)

Thanks for the welcome and advice...I will try to not go up so close to the cervix and see if that helps...the cramping has gone down significantly over the past two hours.

Welcome and sending lots of sticky baby vibes to you!

I didn't do endometrin, but I know that any suppository has the potential to cause irritation. Good luck and try not to panic.

Congratulations! I was on endo 3x a day until 10 weeks. I have been spotting regularly since the middle of that time. (I *almost* asked to switch to PIO shots, I was so scared!) I actually kept spotting afterwards, but I'm 29w1d and still a healthy pregnancy. I hope all goes well for you!

I'm also on endometrin and it's SOOO nasty.  I luckily haven't had bleeding yet, but with as irritating as it is, I'm sure it won't be long.  I refuse to have sex with DH...I don't want to hurry along the inevitable spotting.  GL!

Thanks for the welcome and advice ladies!  I haven't had any pink or red spotting for the past 2-3 days, thank goodness!!  My cramps have even lessened a bunch!  I'm wondering if that was still from implantation??  Either way, I'll take it!
