@runnerd: @mamabolt: @lilteacherbee: @Mrs. Sunshine: @Alba4: thank you for sharing your experiences
@SweetCaroline: @mrskansas: @knittylady: thank you!
Update: no more bleeding, still no cramping. Whew! Ultrasound is scheduled for this Friday at 1:30. We're supposed to get snow tomorrow, so while they had availability then I didn't want to schedule it just to have it get canceled, or be unable to make it through the roads.
I'm tired, nauseous, and have a headache, but I'll take it.

@StrawberryBee: Late to post, but I had similar bleeding post-sex at around the same time with this pregnancy, nurse just said no sex until after they saw me next, and not to worry unless it continued which it didn't. 38 weeks today and no bleeding since.
Hoping for a good outcome for you!

I had a SCH that was diagnosed at my first ultrasound at 8 weeks. I did have minor bleeding a few times during the first tri and was put on pelvic rest (no sex, no high impact exercise, etc). By 12 weeks, the SCH corrected itself. I also had 2 miscarriages prior to my SCH pregnancy and one was natural where the bleeding and intense cramping made it pretty apparent what was happening. I'd take it easy until Friday and do your best to be optimistic. Sending good thoughts your way!

@periwinklebee: thanks for thinking of me right now
@2PeasinaPod: @mrskansas: thanks! Sitting in the waiting room with water sloshing inside of me. Strangely not stressed.

All is good!! Heart rate of 183, growth still on track, baby was even wiggling. Giant sigh of relief! Thank you to everyone for your shared stories and good thoughts, they were SO helpful! I cannot thank you all enough.

@StrawberryBee: Awesome! Did they say what could have caused the bleeding?

@StrawberryBee: Yay! So happy to hear. I was just about to post my story - I had a big gush of red bleeding at 10 weeks with my son. Went to the ER, they did a scan and exam and found absolutely nothing wrong. The doctor was like, "that happens more often than you'd think, and most of the time we don't even really know why." Everything turned out fine with the rest of the pregnancy. So glad for your good news!

@StrawberryBee: just saw this!! So glad everything looks good. Bleeding is super scary. I bled with L from our August '13 group and everything turned out fine with her. Best wishes to you for a healthy and uneventful pregnancy from here on out.

@T.H.O.U.: @2PeasinaPod: @josina: @KatieBklyn: @lilteacherbee: @mrskansas: @Mrsbells: @kiddosc: @delight: @Bibliolove: @erinbaderin: @psw27: thank you all! ultrasound tech said she wasn't allowed to diagnose anything, so I'm assuming my dr will call when they've had a chance to review things. She took a lot of different views, as well as color coding to show my blood flow. Hopefully this is the most exciting things get during this pregnancy!

@StrawberryBee: yay and fingers crossed the rest of your pregnancy is boring and uneventful!

Update: my dr called today after looking over the ultrasound pics, and confirmed that it was a SCH! She said it had already diminished significantly and would probably fully be absorbed by my next ultrasound (NT on March 7th), but that they'd look for it again then. So, I'm VERY glad that I have an answer. Thanks again to everyone!

@StrawberryBee: I'm so glad you got answers about what happened and that it is well on its way to healing.
I noticed in the description that you mentioned sex a bit before it happened, and my case was similar, we'd had sex both the day of and the day before the SCH formed. I know it was probably just a coincidence, but having lost a pregnancy to an SCH I think next time I'm going to be super paranoid about DTD the first few weeks after a BFP, until there are better connections formed between me and the baby and an SCH is less likely to derail things. Sorry, ugh, it just got me to thinking...

@periwinklebee: my first MC started the day after sex. It made me feel pretty concerned for the next pregnancy (also mmc but not after sex) and we avoided it until the 2nd tri with DD. We have had sex once this first tri but again we mostly avoid it. I helps that I feel pretty awful for my first tri's so I never want to do it!
Mentally it made me feel in control a little, and while it was unlikely the cause it still felt like a good precautionary measure.

@Banana330: Thank you for sharing your experience I agree that it probably doesn't ultimately make a difference, but is not that costly to avoid at the beginning of pregnancy. I've been on pelvic bedrest for over a month now, and with not feeling great in general, I can't say I've been in the mood that often anyways.
