Thanks for checking on me like you always do Jane.
My first appt is Thursday. I'll get to hear the heartbeat. I don't know if they do a scan this early or if they just use a Doppler to hear the heart. Either way, I'll take it. Praying that they find the HB, sometimes they may not find it in week 6 since it's so early, but her nurse is on the ball and such a pro that I think she is probably pretty good at tracking those little suckers down.
I'm officially 6 weeks today. Woohoo. I only made it to 5+2 before. I thought I'd be relieved and relax a little, but no. I am having less symptoms today after having some weird twingey feelings and light headedness that I had right before the m/c yesterday. I panicked before I realized they were normal in early pregnancy and last time I had them they were probably pregnancy symptoms, not m/c symptoms. I started getting heartburn today and that actually has calmed me down some since I NEVER get heartburn.
I also bought 3 more pregnancy tests at lunch so I can make sure they are staying dark before my appt. The line got nice and dark before the entire test even got moisture wicked thru it, and I started laughing at myself for being a dork in the bathroom at work. It helped me feel better since I just hit the loo before lunch, so it was far from FMU. Hopefully nobody was in the bathroom wondering what I was laughing at. My HCG already dropped to 3 right the day of my m/c, so that means there was some problem and the HCG started dropping well before the bleeding started. I think I'll still use the remaining tests just to keep myself from totally freaking before Thursday.
In week 6 you have less than a 5% chance of m/c. That drops even lower if you hear the heartbeat. Praying if I hear the HB I may actually let myself enjoy this a bit. My sister started talking to me about showers yesterday, I told her we can discuss that in the spring. We are going down there to TX to visit her after xmas, and she was also talking about going shopping for baby stuff and maternity clothes. A-We have no money. If I am with a sticky bean we really need to focus on paying off our debt before the arrival. Plus it will be RIGHT after xmas, and we have to pay about $200 to board our dogs. There will be no shopping for me until I am busting out of my pants! B-There is no way I can buy baby stuff yet. I'm too scared. She can be really pushy so I'm hoping I can get that point across.
