Corpus Luteum Causing Bleeding ?? Posted: 06-03-07 18:35pm
Ok, this might be kind of long, so sorry
for that. About a week after I found out I
was pregnant I started having pain in my
left ovary and in my left shoulder. I
wasn't having any bleeding, but I was
worried, so I went to the ER as I didn't
have a Dr yet. They did a trans-vag
ultrasound and found a large complex cyst
on my left ovary, which they classified as
a corpus luteum cyst. They didn't find a
heartbeat at the time, but said it was
early. I was also diagnose with a bladder
infection and BV. That night I started
bleeding heavy (like a period). Less than
a week later I went to the Dr and they did
another trans-vag ultrasound. By this time
I had stopped bleeding and the Dr said it
was probably the ultrasound along with the
infection. They found a heartbeat this
time! After all the bleeding I was so
relieved! But then I started bleeding
again that night. I figured it was just
the ultrasound and tried not to worry. The
Dr said that the pain was just the cyst
and that it would go away at around 10
weeks. He put me on Metrogel for the BV.
Well, I just finished the Metrogel last
night. Throughout the treatment I had
chunks of dark reddish brown stuff coming
out that, on very close inspection,
definatley was NOT clots. Now I'm having
pain in the ovary again and the the stuff
is coming out thinner and more of it.
Still no clots. I'm wondering if it could
be the cyst in the ovary causing the
bleeding. Every time I've had the heavy
bleeding I've also had the pain in the
ovary. And with 3 ulrasounds showing a
healthy, growing baby I just don't know
when to worry. And I'm wondering if I
should worry about the cyst rupturing.
I've still got the pain in my shoulder on
that side that I can't figure out. Sorry
if this is a little jumbled. I've got so
many worries and issues right now I feel
like I'm going to explode! So ANY help
would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

shoulder pain = get to the er!
ok now I got that out I'll explain.
shoulder tip pain is commonly a symptom of
an ectopic pregnancy and should never be
taken lightly.
If you go to the ER and they find that you
are safe then that's good, but it's better
to be safe than sorry.
corpus luteum does not cause bleeding.
the corpus luteum is the ruptured follicle
that the egg came out of.
it produces progesterone which prevents
bleeding.
If you have not conceived: as the corpus
luteum dies off the progeterone drops and
so you get your period.
If you have conceived the hcg prolongs the
life of the corpus luteum which continues
to produce progesterone and helps keep the
pregnancy until the placenta is fully
developed and takes over the hormone
production.
