I'm not a very good PgAL member

I'm sorry I was so hesitant to be "secure" just yet and last night had a pretty bad scare and thought "Well, that's it"

I posted on TTCAL already, so there's nothing new inside:

I had some bleeding last night, but no cramps. I chugged three glasses of water and slept for 10 hours. I woke up this morning to slightly less bleeding (nothing on the pad I put on) but some dull pains on my left side. Scared _shitless it could be tubal, off to the ER I went (am not wanting to see that bill. I see payment plans in my future). I was only there about 4 hours, not bad.

No real diagnosis re: miscarriage, gave me a care sheet on threatened miscarriage, but the ER doc was pretty adamant about how he didn't think this was a m/c.

I do have a subchronic hematoma, I guess a blood clot where implantation happened. There's nothing that can be done and it's small, so I'm doing my best not to google b/c I know I'll freak out. He didn't think it would increase my likelihood of miscarriage, there's no real consensus I guess on that.

Nemnock (the LO) is measuring 7 weeks and 2 days (About on time, within perhaps one day on either side) and a hb of 140. My betas were 55,000. That seems low for a week ago having 22,000, but I don't know. At least they're not going down.

Doctor also didn't really know where the bleeding was coming from except for the fact that he didn't think it was coming from where Nemnock is. I think he said it was coming from my cervix, and that's ok b/c it wasn't heavy. (and dude, that pelvic exam HURT).

Ok, so I promise I'm going to try and be a better poster. It always annoys me on TTCAL when people posted for advice but never gave any.

I am sorry you had a scare I hope the Dr is correct & that it is not M/C related (((HUGS))) I know that spotting sucks :O( Are you calling the little one Nemnock? Maybe the baby wants a new nickname & is protesting :O) J.K. Hope the spotting stops completely so you can have a Merry Christmas

I responded to your other post too... I'm sorry for the scare, but glad the LO is doing well now. 

Hang in there!

I have a hard time posting here too.  I feel like I am so early, I don't have much baby stuff to talk about.... other than being scared to death.

I'm glad everything is okay!  I was so nervous for you.  I'm sure it's all going to be fine- as you know this happens to many people who go on having healthy pregnancies.  Just put those feet up and try to relax!

Hey Allison....

Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you... and Nemnock is going to be okay.  I'll keep praying for you both, and Little H and I both hope you have a Merry Christmas.  Hang in there, lady!!  :-)  ((((hugs))))

I'm sorry you had such a scare. I had a subchorionic hematoma that caused bleeding around 8 weeks and all turned out ok. Are you going to follow up with your OB? Mine was small also. I was on pelvic rest for a while and no heavy lifting, lots of rest. Hopefully the bleeding has stopped by now.

I'm so sorry for the bleeding scare. That must have been terrifying. It's very encouraging though that the Dr is confident it's only a SCH. Several women up here have had that Dx. I'll keep you and your LO in my prayers. And don't worry about the frequency of your posting. We're here for you whenever you need us. ~hugs~

I was just told "no fun times with DH' for three weeks and to rest until the bleeding stopped.

I try and do little things around the house, for 15 minutes, then rest for an hour.

Thank you everyone for your support, I'll certainly try to post more and return the favor
