Week 6 ivf pregnancy & bleeding

This is my first IVF and my first pregnancy. I saw my gynae today for the second time and there is a fetal pole, and we were able to see the baby’s heartbeat. However, I suddenly started bleeding quite a bit today while waiting for him for an hr in his clinic. I’ve had some discharge since week 5, but nothing like this. Dr hasn’t offered much beyond increasing my Duphaston and Progynova, Utrogestan inserts, advising bed rest, and taking a “wait and see” approach to whether the baby survives. Is this really all that can be done? I’m not sure who else to turn to and I’m feeling really worried and upset. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Week 6 ivf pregnancy & bleeding

That must have been really scary 😔 but the fact that you’ve already seen a heartbeat is a very positive sign. Bleeding (even quite a lot) can still happen in early pregnancy, especially with IVF, things like a subchorionic bleed are quite common. Unfortunately, your doctor is right that at this stage it often is a wait-and-see situation, with progesterone support and rest being the main things they can do. If you are really feeling anxious, you can head to the A&E or another doctor for second opinion. Hang in there

My first HCG when I was 5weeks plus was 891+ after 2 days it was 1400++, my gyne said it was only going up 57% not a ideal rate. I'm so worried and scared. My appointment is tmr. And I don't know what to expect. Is it really that bad 😢 #askmommies

I’d try not to panic yet 🤍 A 57% rise in 48 hours isn’t textbook “doubling,” but it’s still an increase and can be within a normal range early on. HCG trends can vary a lot between pregnancies. Your doc will likely repeat bloods and/or do a scan to get a clearer picture. Many mums have had slower rises and still gone on to have healthy pregnancies. Take it one step at a time. tomorrow’s appointment will give you more answers. Sending you calm vibes 💛

Chemical pregnancy?

I first tested on 14 DPO using clearblue ultra early pregnancy test kit - it shows positive, but not super dark. Then today 16 DPO i tested using guardian test strip. Still faint positive. Could this be chemical pregnancy?

IVF (FET) - Due date changed due to the baby's measurements

Hi I had a successful FET (5 days) and if based on the embryo transfer date, i should be 6 weeks along. However, after my 1st scan yesterday, baby is only measuring at 2mm and they dated the pregnancy as 5 weeks instead. There was a heartbeat and everything else seemed fine. Gynae, however, did not sound too positive but he did arrange for another scan in 3 weeks to see if fetus grows . I cant help but to feel anxious :(

Hi mama, first of all congratulations on your successful FET and please know your anxiety is completely valid and understood by so many of us here. A few things that might help ease your mind a little: Dating by embryo transfer date and dating by early scan measurements don't always match up perfectly, especially at this very early stage. At 5 weeks, even a tiny difference of a few days in how the embryo implanted and started growing can shift the measurements by a week. A 2mm embryo with a visible heartbeat is actually a really positive sign at 5 weeks. The heartbeat is the most important thing right now. That is what matters most at this stage and you have that. Gynaes can sometimes come across as cautious or neutral in their language during these early scans and it can feel discouraging even when there isn't necessarily cause for alarm. The fact that he scheduled a follow-up scan in 3 weeks rather than sooner suggests he isn't in panic mode, he just wants to monitor growth as he should. Three weeks feels like forever to wait, I know. But that window actually gives the baby meaningful time to grow so the next scan will show much clearer development and give you and your gynae a much better picture. You've come so far to get here. Hold onto that heartbeat. It's doing its job. 🤍

Yeah around 70% of women will feel symptoms by end the end of week 6. Normally fatigue, morning sickness, heightened smell, food aversion, breast tenderness, mood swings and light spotting!

Week 11 is it safe to take 13 hour flight

Is it safe to take 13 hour flight from sg to Germany straight?

VIP Member

Yes generally safe. But nausea and exhaustion will make flying uncomfy. There is a higher chance of dvt risk since this is a long haul. (Anything more than 4 hours have higher risk): so make sure you get compression socks, walk the aisle every hour, drink lots of water as cabin air is very dry and wear your seatbelt low across the upper thigh and not your abdomen. Do also ankle exercises while seated. Flex then, rotate them etc. Enjoy germany!!
