cramping, spotting, and now bleeding

All of the things I promised to do (emails, reviews, blog posts) have not been accomplished. Instead my body decided to betray me again, and yesterday I started bleeding. It slowed down overnight, but has started again today. I’m trying to do all of the things that I’m supposed to do, relax, feet up, but I’m just so sad and frustrated.

The paperwork from the clinic stated that I should take a home pregnancy test every week. It had been well over a week since I last tested, so I took it this morning. Positive. Of course it means absolutely nothing since I would obviously still have HCG in my system regardless of what is happening. I thought about calling the clinic and going in for an ultrasound, but I’m already on the schedule for Thursday and it seems pointless to make an extra trip. I wish I were here to give a happier update. For now I’m just waiting, and cramping, and spotting, and bleeding.

  3. I wish this would let up for you...it's so unfair that you can't enjoy this pregnancy. And that the fear continues.

    Holding you close in my thoughts and prayers.

    ((HUGS))

  9. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers.

    Fran, I'm 6 weeks, 5 days. If this gets any worse, I'm going to Holles. I was debating between Holles and Rotunda, but I think Holles is a bit closer, though the parking is a nightmare, or so I've heard.
