Just my experiences so far…

Not necessarily a point to this other than to vent. I’m 36, I’ve had one fine pregnancy and one healthy kid (she’s 12 now). My boyfriend and I tried once and got pregnant. At 5.5 weeks I had brown spotting (I know it’s old blood but I still called my OB) she did blood work. Progesterone was low (10.9) hcg was fine. Did the 48 hour redraw. Hcg didn’t double, not even close. Had another redraw after 72 hours (weekend made it impossible to do 48 hours). This one had almost doubled. She was happy but ordered an ultrasound just to make sure. 6 weeks 5 days baby was fine, everything measured perfectly including a 122 heart rate. 7 weeks exactly woke up to red blood (not enough to get into my panties but enough to panic me). Went to the ER. They didn’t want to do another vaginal ultrasound and traumatize my vagina more and cause more bleeding. I followed up with my OB and she said it’s not enough blood to worry that it was most likely the ultrasound and my progesterone suppositories. I also had to take 10 days of antibiotics around week 4 due to an ear infection, and now my other ear is infected too. My first pregnancy (which I was alone except for my mom) was so easy! This one has done nothing but stress me out! Hopefully stress subsides soon.
