went to doc today.. and.. also a tmi.

in 1st Trimester

so my urine test was light, but still positive. so it shows that i am indeed pregnant but early. she didnt do an exam yet but did take blood. i go back in 48 hrs.

 

ok so now for the tmi part.

i spotted, light bleed, and nothing off n on for 4 days. i had absolutely no tinging yesterday and  nothing for half of today. hubby and i did have sex twice in past couple days with no spotting. i didnt orgasm. today.. (while embarrassed to say) had alone time and spotted afterwards.

doc told me to try to refrain from sexual activity till we see my levels and why i might be spotting. she said depending on my levels.. i may need a shot of progesterone. if after the 48 hrs my numbers double she will see me for my 1st prenatal care visit. 

after reading about the symptoms of low progesterone, it does sound like mine might be that case. can nuvaring cause this? the symptoms that it said only showed up after being on the nuvaring for me. i know, i should have asked her this but didnt think of it right then n there.

    I have heard of many people spotting after getting off the nuvaring.  Also, sex or any sexual activity can make you spot as there is increased sensitivity and blood flow down there.

    im still having all my symptoms.. but they are getting worse. so i guess thats a good sign right? like.. my appetite has gone. im usually a pig. but i dont feel like eating anymore. ive lost a pound. im not throwing up, just not eating like a pig like i usually do. but not enough not eaten to lose weight. so i dunno how this one pound was lost.

    do you burn more calories in early pregnancy?

    Yes you do.  I read to increase your calories to 2500 in your first tri.. which is no small feat considering fruits and veggies are so low cal.  Im pretty certain all the development that takes place right away burns calories and then the baby requires some.   Some days my symptoms are horrible, some days I dont even feel pregnant.  Its been very odd so far.
