Bleeding :(

I had a scary night last night. I woke up around 4 am to a gush of heavy, bright red bleeding. I think I had a little low back ache as well, although that could have been due to sleeping weird.

The bleeding seems to have stopped now, but I'm still pretty freaked out about it. I called my clinic and they agreed to see me today instead of waiting til next week. Wish me luck; I think I really need some!

Oh no, bleeding? I hope it stops for good and the ultrasound shows all is well!

It stopped by midmorning and is all brown now. Luckily the ultrasound was great and didn't show a hemorrhage, so who knows?? Thanks for the good thoughts!!

The Timeline So Far...

January '09 -- Our journey begins.
July '09 -- First pregnancy.
August '09 -- 7 week ultrasound showed a tiny embryo with a heartbeat, but the sac around it was very small. I miscarried a week later.
October '09 -- After months of charting my cycles, I realized that I had a Luteal Phase Defect (the time between ovulation and my period was too short). Asked my OB for a referral to a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE).
November '09 -- Second pregnancy.
December '09 -- 6 week ultrasound again showed an abnormal sac. My RE scheduled a D & C for the following week. The day before the surgery, the baby had a heartbeat, so we cancelled the D & C.
January '10 -- Miscarried at 10 weeks.
March '10 -- Fertility testing revealed I have a high FSH level of 12.8. RE recommended ovarian stimulation injections and either IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) or IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization). We chose IUI and I wound up with a chemical pregnancy.
May '10 -- Second IUI, second chemical pregnancy.
June '10 -- Operative hysteroscopy to remove a fibroid.
July '10 -- Fifth pregnancy (natural).
August '10 -- Consecutive ultrasounds showed nothing. Ectopic suspected, so I was given methotrexate and miscarried at 8 weeks.
September '10 -- New RE and recurrent pregnancy loss testing. Discovered I have anticardiolipin antibodies and will need to be on blood thinners while pregnant.
October '10 -- Operative hysteroscopy & removed another fibroid and polyp. Started birth control pills in preparation for IVF.
November '10 -- First IVF cycle: antagonist protocol. I only produced 3 eggs on maximum stimulation. We transferred two 5 day embryos on the 29th.
December '10 -- Found out I was pregnant with twins! But only 1 heartbeat at 6 weeks 5 days.
January '11 -- Lost the second twin, but the first is doing great.
February '11 -- It's a boy!
August '11 -- Eli Anderle was born on August 5th, 2011
July '12 -- Begin TTC for #2
Oct '12 -- IUI and positive pregnancy test
Jan '13 -- Never saw anything on the ultrasound, assumed ectopic pregnancy. Finally ended early in the month.
Feb '13 -- high dose Follistim IUI. I produced 4 eggs, but didn't get pregnant.
May '13 -- Surprise natural BFP!
Oct '13 - Lucas Alexander born still on October 4th, 2013 at 24 weeks. We will miss him forever. :-(
