Cramping and spotting **Update**

MAtoNCMAtoNC member
in Pregnant after a Loss

Thank you so much to those of you who offered words of encouragement in my last post about cramping and spotting: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/64097889.aspx

Last night the brown spotting turned bright red. Only when I wiped, but this is how my m/c started, so I was sure that everything was doomed. It turned back to brown this morning and has subsided.

It looks like I get to stick around (for a little while anyway).

I received a call that the betas I had drawn today have risen "beautifully" (not quite 48hr doubling time, though, so of course I'm all worried still).

I am scheduled for an u/s on Wednesday (5w4d) "to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy" (so I can go on my lovenox) and then if all continues along, I will have another ultrasound a week later to look for fetal pole and hb.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. I don't feel alone since I have my PGals. You know what this is like, and it makes it all more bearable.

    I'm really glad things are looking up!  This may help your nerves a little: I've always heard (on here, other beta info websites, and from two OBs) that the doubling time is actually 48-72 hours, not a strict 48.  I think you're doing just fine.  Plus, they start slowing down after a certain level.  Stick and grow for mama, LO!
