QOTW: Most of my dreams are about pregnancy so far, but the weirdest one I had was dropping all of my positive HPTs behind a toilet at school and then freaking out about it. The toilet was also located in a place we don't have a toilet, but a place I spend a ton of time. It was weird then, maybe not now haha.

AFM, 11w1d here. Feeling great.
QOTW: I don't even remember many of my dreams, just that they seem to last all night and are frighteningly real. The first few weeks after my BFP, I was having scary and/or bad dreams. Now they're benign but long and vivid!

I'm currently 6w3d with one beautiful baby with a hb of 119(6w2d).
**pregnancy/miscarriage/TMI talk** I went to grab lunch yesterday and when I was headed back to work, I started feeling these super sharp cramps. I made it inside my cubicle and went back to the bathroom because something just didn't feel right. When I sat down, my pantyliner and underwear were soaked in bright red blood. When I wiped, there was just so much blood. I then was getting huge clots, the size of a small fist. I lost so much blood I started shaking and luckily had taken my cell phone with me. I never do (eww germs) but was able to text my husband as to what I thought was happening. I made it out of the bathroom and a coworker was washing her hands. She said I was pale as a ghost, helped me wash my hands, and got me back to my cubicle so I could sit down. My asst. director called the doctor's office for me and my husband was on his way to pick me up. Of course I'm hyperventilating and crying hysterically.
Fast forward to the RE being able to squeeze me in an hour later. He was very sweet and made sure we were ready for whatever we saw on the u/s. As soon as he started it, we saw my uterus with the sack and a pulsing heartbeat!! So yes, we have one. The hb was 119 at 6w2d. The RE said that I was most likely carrying twins, and I had a complete miscarriage of one. He said that it wasn't a vanishing twin as it didn't just reabsorb in my body. It was a very bittersweet and traumatic day yesterday. He said the baby inside me is in a perfect spot and looked every bit of perfect inside me. I go back tomorrow morning for a follow-up ultrasound to check the surviving twin. I am trying to be logical in that the miscarriage of the one twin had to happen because of abnormalities or because it wasn't healthy. It hurts knowing I never saw the heartbeat, but I am thankful that I got to see the other's heartbeat. Hopefully it will keep fighting and be a successful full term pregnancy. I'm not trying to scare anyone or anything, I just wanted to share with you all. I haven't even told my parents. We just told them that we had one healthy baby. Both parents asked if I was okay not having twins... It hurt and I just said I was, because that will be my truth, but I do want to tell them in time once I process my own feelings. Thank you for reading this and helping me process and write out my feelings and what happened.
**end**
QOTW: What crazy dreams have you had since being pregnant? The PIO is causing some seriously vivid dreams, but most of them are my anxieties. I did have a dream a few days before the bittersweet day happened where I woke up and told DH that I think there was just one now... Coincidence or Intuition? I have no idea.
@terramae80 Thank you
@piperella I am so sorry for your loss, but am so glad you still have a healthy baby in there! Lots of good healing thoughts headed your way!
