[quote=Anonymous]LJ here.

I had a scare last night. We are in CA on vacation and I did some hiking/climbing yesterday that was far more strenuous than I expected - about five hours in total. A few hours later, I started bleeding. A moderate to heavy amount at first, then it tapered off but is still going now, about 15 hours later. No cramping or any other symptoms.

I called the doctor on call and figured they would tell me just to wait and see, but they said to go to the ER.

I had to find an ER out here and it was not a fun experience. Probably most depressing ER I have ever been in.

The best case scenario, which isn't great, is what happened though. Essentially it is unexplained bleeding. Baby looked totally fine on the sonogram and blood tests showed my hcg levels are high, probably peaking (110,000)

Everything looked normal so there is really nothing to be done now. Which is better than the worst-case-scenarios that were running through my head. So scary!

The doctors said that the strenuous activity shouldn't have caused it, but I still feel like it could be related since it started like 2 hours after that activity and there seems to be no other explanation. I am just sort of hoping that was it and that this will be the end.

Not a fun way to spend the last few days of vacation![/quote]
