Bleeding/spotting

Wondering if others are going/have gone through this...

 Had my 1st appointment Jan 2nd and nurse found a polyp, said I would bleed a few days. Spotted on and off, mostly after peeing. Stopped over the weekend. Had flu shot Tuesday and felt awful for a couple of days, mostly achy/crampy. Started spotting, too, brown/dark red, again, only after peeing and really only seeing it on TP when wiping. I would see some spotting on a panty liner that seemed to only happen after peeing and not in between bathroom breaks. This has been going on since Wed. Went to Dr today and nurse said old blood, could be from polyp. Also didn't find HB on doppler. Didn't seem concerned, seemed rather nonchalant about the whole thing, but sending me for an u/s later today. She said on exam I feel pregnant. Asked me if I "still feel" pregnant and I said aside from peeing more, I have not felt any different since before my BFP.

I haven't had any big bleeding episodes or intense cramping, but seeing blood is nerve wrecking of course, and now waiting 4 hours for either good or bad news is stressful. I know bleeding during the 1st trimester is, well, not normal, but happens. Wondering also how common it would be to not get a HB-she didn't find it at my 10 week exam either. And she didn't seem concerned about that.

If she did a pelvic, she was checking to see if your cervix was closed. If was open, you are probably miscarrying. Since she didn't seem concerned, it's still closed so that's a good sign. Doctors weren't able to find a HB on the doppler for either of my children until 16 weeks. Don't fret about that part.

Thank you. After I left I was like,"Why didn't I ask about cervix?!" But I think I was more concerned she didn't find HB that I wasn't thinking. Good to know it can be tricky to hear with doppler even until 16 weeks.

Yep, can definitely be tricky to find this early. I'm sorry you're having to wait -- I know how hard that is. I had bleeding on and off through week 14 of this pregnancy for various reasons and everything is just fine -- FX that it's the same for you. Let us know how your u/s goes!

I have been having almost exact same issue with spotting for a week. I just found out I am pregnant. I have doctors appointment today to find out what is going on.

So, I lost the baby-apparently stopped developing around 8-9 weeks. I pretty much knew that was going to be the end result as I just did not feel pregnant. I think because of that, I already accepted it and it was a relief of sorts to hear the Dr say it. I will have a D&C Wed and we will try again in two months. 

 I have always been a realistic type of person, not really optimistic or pessimistic, so I choose to view this as it was nature's way of saying this baby was not meant to be. Ironic as I found out, a friend texted me to say she just got her BFP and another pregnant friend texted worried about some cramping. I am so happy for both and tried to advise as best I could, and believe in a few months I will be back! This was literally our 1st attempt, so at least out of this sad time, I learned I can get pregnant, I have the most amazing husband and support system and I found Drs I like! 

A very happy and healthy rest of 1st Trimester to you all!!!
