Maybe just play it by ear, if the discharge hasn't let up by the morning, then call in?
 
I had brown discharge at 7 weeks too. It went away after a couple days. It came back after my first ultrasound but was gone the next day. I hope it goes away for you too.
 
MissYogi, sorry about the discharge. Brown is ok from everything I know. Did you decide to call in sick?

Im taking Baby and Me prenatals that I got from my naturopath. They are rated #1 on a few sites and one of the few kinds that are made from whole foods, not synthetic. I'll stay on these until 12 weeks and probably switch back to materna as they are quite expensive.
 
I did call in sick, no more spotting so far but I'm glad I called anyways because I'd be so stressed.

Have you ladies heard of the hook effect? I discovered it this morning and it is seriously crazy. Basically, the idea is that when your hcg levels get too high, tests can show faint positives or go completely negative. If you dilute the urine, it goes back to dark positives. So imagine my terror when I tested this morning and it was fainter than before! I go ogled and discovered the hook effect and found that this was possible. So I drank a ton of water to dilute my urine and tested again and the line is nice and dark again! I had no idea this was a thing! So I'm feeling a lot better with dark tests and no more spotting so far.
 
I think you did the right thing calling in sick, glad there's no more spotting!!
 
Missyogi ive read about the hook affect, pretty crazy! Glad you haven't had anymore discharge!

Mediterranean I'll have to Google those as well. I know I can get some for free through my hospital but I think they're pretty generic :shrug:

Kitty happy 16 weeks:happydance:
 
Hi, everyone,

I lost my first pregnancy in September 2016 at 5 weeks, 5 days.

I got my first positive since that loss on February 22. I was 3 weeks, 4 days (about 10dpo). Finding out so early made me nervous, as well.

Today, I am 5 weeks, 3 days and nervous for the next couple of days to pass. I've had no spotting at all this pregnancy, I've watched my pregnancy tests get darker (Took my last one today. I won't be buying more, just wanted to see some progression for peace of mind).

I've been very peaceful with this pregnancy. A little anxious, once in a while, but I know that what will happen will happen. I have a huge amount of hope for this pregnancy, despite my mindset on what could happen.

I'll be in and out of this thread once in a while and will be watching your journeys as things progress.

Much love.
 
Hi Ebauerhaus! Glad to see you here! I'm rooting for you in the next few days, I know it's a scary time to wait to pass your previous loss day but it sounds like things are progressing well for you. Fingers crossed everything works out!
 
Ebauerhaus welcome:flower: I hope the next few days pass quickly for you! Just let me know when youd like your due date added :)
 
Ebauerhaus, welcome and congrats! I'm glad you have a more sound peace of mind this pregnancy.

MissYogi, I'm glad to hear the discharge has stopped, even if it is brown, we'd rather see none :). That is crazy about the hook effect. That would freak some women out for sure if they didn't know about it. According to my u/s, I'm 8 weeks today (I think I'm 8+3 based on O) and as of yesterday my HCG was 210210 so I'm thinking I should try out a test and see what happens. I anticipate my HCG should be starting to drop anytime now.

I have another LLOOONNNGG 2.5 weeks until my next OB apt where I'll get another ultrasound. Arrgghhhh. I'm planning on trying out my Doppler in the next few days and hope I'll be able to get the heartbeat. I booked my nuchal scan today and my husband just tells me tonight that his boss asked him to switch a couple of shifts and he's working that day. I only have a small window with my schedule and his and that was the only day we had off together in the 2 weeks. My only option is if they do the scans on the weekend I can try to bump it a day. I'm so perturbed right now. He never asks, he justs goes ahead and accommodates. Grrrr. Ok I just had to get that out.
 
Welcome, EBAUERHAUS! I hope you continue to find peace this week. You got this! I am much more confident in this pregnancy but my husband is still super nervous. I went into labor at 16w4d last year. I don't know why but I just know this will be our little rainbow. Keep your head up high. I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months.

Meditteranean - I hate you have to wait so long for your next ultrasound. Mine is in 6 days and I'm already impatient. I hope it works out where your husband can join you. If not, I hope your ultrasound technician is super sweet and celebrates with you. :)
 
Welcome ebauerhaus!!! Congrats on your pregnancy and I wish you a very happy and healthy pregnancy!!

Thanks so much, and I'm sorry for what you've gone through.
My husband actually brings up my pregnancy more often than I do. Well, maybe not more often, maybe what it is is he speaks of the future more than I do. Every once in a while, "I'm gonna be a dad." with this look of wonder, you know? He's the sweetest man.


I appreciate everyone's kind words! I have told myself until something happens that I believe is something to worry about, I will not get myself down. I'm worried once I get to 6 weeks, I'm just going to get ultra nervous again, since I've never experienced that part of pregnancy before.
I'm going to try my best not to. I think keeping myself calm will be best for baby.

Every time I say how far along I am, I'm like I'm still soooo early, though! I'm not even 6 weeks. Man. Time moves slow.
 
Ugh so here is my brain on pregnancy. Today after the day was over and I was about to leave my classroom to go home I realized I couldn't find my keys. So I searched and searched when finally I decided to go find the concealed key on my car and see about finding the keys tomorrow. So I go out to my car to find the doors unlocked with my keys sitting on the seat. Really nice. Also, I did this once before about a week ago, although that was only for a quick time while I went into Starbucks, not the whole day. So if you ladies ever feel like stealing a car, apparently I'll be an easy target for the next seven or eight months.
 
Missyogi that is hilarious!!!

Ebauerhaus the early weeks are the hardest. Just one day at a time :thumbup:

Mediterranean Sorry about the appointment fiasco, I hope you can get it sorted.

So I got my Doppler today and found the heartbeat:happydance:
I'm craving oreos so gonna run to the store.....lol tomorrow is my ultrasound!
 
How awesome, StillPraying! I'm saving up my tips so that I can buy one. Congrats! And have a great ultrasound!
 
I got mine from clinicalguard, I paid the extra 8.00 for 2 day shipping lol
I'm so.nervous for tomorrow :(
 
StillPraying, good luck tomorrow!!! It'll be so exciting and you'll be so relieved to see the little bean for the first time :)
 
Thinking of you today, StillPraying. Keep us posted. I hope all goes well!
