Hi   

Never been on website like this before and bit nervous but going to launch into history.  I'm 36, so is DH. I have a son from previous relationship who's 12. DH and I been ttc for 5 years. Had ectopic at start, only had one tube anyway so that was end of that and after investigation IVF only option.  1st cycle may 07 BFN, 2nd cycle Jan 08 BFP! We are over moon and thought that finally we can relax and enjoy but I been spotting and bleeding on and off since 9 wks, amd 15 wks now.  Anybody else experienced this?

Hello Lornalou, welcome to fertiltiy Friends.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Yes, spotting and even bleeding in pregnancy is incredbly common. I myself had a huge bleed at 7 weeks and then spotted almost continiously until 18 weeks with another smaller bleed at 15 weeks. At this stage, if you've had a scan and no problems detected and heard a heartbeat ther chances are it's nothing much to worry about but, I know it's really hard not to fret.
Why don't you have a look on the Bun In The Oven section and meet other memmbers who have been succesful and are now pregnant after fertility treatment:

Hi Lornalou and welcome to the site

You have come to a fantastic site full of advice and support.

First of all a massive congrats on your pregnancy I had spotting at 6 weeks and scan showed all was ok and then at 10 weeks i had a very heavy bleed with clots and when i had a scan baby was all ok. I am now nearly 23 weeks and all is ok I know you must be worried as we all are when we spot/bleed in pregnancy, if you do still feel worried if you spot then see your GP or call your midwife. I wish you loads of luck for a healthy pregnancy.
