Hi Team Hopers!
I have posted in first tri-- but thought I would post here as you can never have too many good thoughts and prayers.
I have been having a bit of spotting the last few days, so I went to dr today. The Dr was very reassuring. She did an TVU--and I got to see the Yolk sac and gestational sac(that was all there was to see at 5 weeks/4 days). She said I was spot on where I should be and that was exactly what she was hoping to see. She said Bean was in in my upper uterus, which is also good as it is not low down by my cervix. When she pulled the ultrasound wand out.. there was a lot of brown blood on it so she did put me on pelvic rest (no sex) and no exercise as a precaution until I see the dr again two weeks from today. I am cramping pretty badly right now, but I usually do after TVU's. Then I went to have the blood drawn and will have it drawn again on Monday. She said they are not even going to call me with any blood results until they have both of the numbers on Tuesday. She said there is nothing I can do so she does not want me stressing. She is feeling very positive, but being cautious with the no sex and exercising just to be safe. (I have an incompetent cervix-- so I go to a high risk dr already)
I do feel better after seeing the little ring and sac on the screen, she also gave me a pic to bring home. The appt was last minute so my partner was not there, he is excited to see the picture!
So I am taking it easy this weekend. I was already working from home today so I am just laying on the couch getting caught up. I think it will be a good time to watch the Netflix movies!
