Just need to vent a minute, hope that's alright.
This week has been super stressful. We found out we were expecting 9 days ago, and on Monday I started spotting dark brown/dusty rose....Which is what happened during my last pregnancy, about 5 days after that we lost our LO. So, in two days I will hit my milestone day and I hope to pass it without any red coming along, but it's hard to stay hopeful.
How are you all getting through this?? I felt like I was ready and this wouldn't be so nerve wracking, but I guess I was wrong.....
Thanks for the little vent ![]()
Re: ho-hum
Make a pregnancy ticker
The only reason I am not a nervous wreck right now is because I have an amazing doctor! She keeps testing my levels and is bringing me in next week to make sure we see the heartbeat at 6 weeks!
My OB told me that if I started spotting she wanted to check my progesterone levels again because they could have went down and just weren't enough to support the pg. But if they had gone down she would put me on progesterone pills. The corpus luteum produces progesterone for I believe the first 10 wks or so of pregnancy and if we have a deficiency, then we need to be monitered for it.
I hope some of that helped
and if your afraid please call your doctor up!
This too! I had tons more spotting with this pregnancy than with my loss. Don't loose hope, as hard as it is to believe sometimes it doesn't mean the end
