Serial posting, mostly cuz I need support. Bare with me ladies!
I thought I was due May 14 2015, making me 8 weeks 1 day today. Since 6 weeks 2 days ive been spotting. Varying colours, all very lightly. Usually only one or two bathroom trips during the day I would see red, pink, tan or brown. It happens pretty much daily. Not much cramping to speak of, nothing more then mild period style cramps. My boobs have been sore, I can smell everything, I'm usually asleep by 9 daily which is hours before my usual and I've had some neausea.
Broke down and went to the ER cuz calls to my Dr weren't going anywhere. They took bloods, which they said were exactly where they should be for 7 weeks. Went for a formal ultrasound this last Wednesday at what I thought was 7 weeks 6 days but the scan measured at 6 weeks 5 days. Otherwise, I saw the flicker. It was wonderful. Still baffling that I was 8 days behind. Then someone here recommended using a due date calc that allows you to put your cycle length in, as mine is average 33 days. Well!! That made a 5 day difference, which makes baby measuring 3 days behind Vs 8. That was a relief, and gave hope.
But I'm still spotting, everyday without fail. I find myself checking myself at night to see if I'm bleeding. I get up to pee when I don't have to to check for bleeding in the middle of the night. I have no idea if I'm an anomilie or this baby is doomed. If I could ultrasound every few days I would. The worry kills me, I find myself checking my boobs to make sure they still hurt cuz that's reassuring to me. I hate this feeling, I don't handle worry well. The hospital hasn't called back when I did blood 48 hours after initial to check for doubling. I'd like to go the no news good news route. My Dr did see me in the midst of all this and said cervix was closed and uterus was where it should be. I'm just in a constant state of panic. This is our last baby, it took almost a year to get pregnant. But bleeding, even after seeing a heartbeat, could still mean bad news. It's terrifying.
I'm sorry that was long, I'm venting. If someone is still reading, thanks for hanging in there til the end. Xo.
