Oh my gosh girls! I am so touched by the outpouring of caring and support!!!! Friday was a very scary day, but yesterday and today have just been very, very busy. I am so sorry I have not checked the forums earlier!
I'll try to keep this short if I can...
Well, you know I started bleeding brown on Thursday...so naturally I have it in my head that I am miscarrying again.
Friday morning I went to see the doctor. He finds a fetal pole dating 5wk5d - which is exactly where I thought I should date based on my positive OPK on CD17/18 last month! But because I had a natural m/c, the bleeding has both me and him very worried. At that time, I am convinced I am miscarrying again. The doctor sends me for more blood tests (hcg and progesterone) for Saturday and Monday. And I also have to go get a Rhogam shot because I have O Neg blood and OH has O Pos blood. Ouch! Those shots really hurt!
Later Friday night, I noticed the bleeding has actually stopped! And I still have sore boobs and nausea. This is after I have spent an entire evening at a wedding and had to try and act "happy"... not so easy to do under the circumstances. OH was a doll though and stayed as sober as me for the party!
Saturday morning, the bleeding is still gone. The symptoms are still there. I go and give blood for hcg and progesterone. Saturday afternoon, my mom throws me a surprise bridal shower!!! Talk about an emotional rollercoaster of a weekend!
Sunday, I spent the entire day doing things I *had* to do...church, breakfast, and then making my wedding centerpieces, and placecards, and table markers, laundry... This is the very first opportunity I have had to get on the Internet to let you all know how things are going!
So tomorrow morning I will go give more blood for hcg levels and hopefully Tuesday I will know really where things are...for now anyway!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT! You are such a wonderful group of women and it means so much to me to know that I was in your thoughts during this scary time.
With all my love and friendship,
Jeannie
