I'm thinking of you. I have been through IF and miscarriage and IVF and I know how terrifying it can be to be bleeding. But bleeding, including clots, happens in TONS of normal pregnancies. I hope your doctor can reassure you.

I am sorry for your stress. My OB had told me that once you see the heartbeat that there is only a 5% chance you will have a m/c. There are lots of causes for 1st tri bleeding. Hope everything is okay.
I had bright red blood and fist sized clots off and on for weeks with my first. Every time I thought I'd miscarried and I'd go in for an ultrasound and she was always fine. The bleeding resided after several weeks. I have a happy healthy 4 year old today. I know it's scary!! Sending you positive thoughts!! (Prematurity noted in sig had nothing to do with bleeding)
Sending you such good thoughts. I know my stories aren't totally positive but this happened to me with both pregnancies. It was very difficult mentally. Big hugs.
Two stories for you: First pregnancy I had no bleeding whatsoever and I m/c'ed at the end of first tri/beginning of second tri. I had pregnancy symptoms the entire time.
Second pregnancy i had virtually no pregnancy symptoms and I bled from pretty much 9 weeks until I delivered at full term - totally viable pregnancy resulting in the birth of a perfectly healthy ds. I literally bled every single week and every time I saw it my heart sank and I assumed the worst. It ranged from spotting to gushing depending on the week. First bleed was due to a sch, second bleed was due to a bad uti, and from 17 weeks on it was attributed to complete placenta previa. The bleed at 17 weeks I was sure was a m/c because there was so.much.blood...and clots. But nope everything was fine and I saw ds squirming around on the u/s. All this to say blood doesn't always = m/c especially if there is no cramping or mucus. I'm sorry you are going through this mindfuck but try to stay positive unless some medical professional tells you otherwise. The lack of cramping and mucus though is positive.
