So hard to stay positive...

I've been TTC since my miscarriage last July. Last week I got a BFP test, and was so excited, and so scared. My son was born in 2009, and we tried for 4 years before I got pregnant again, which I miscarried at 8 weeks. Then we tried again for a year. I was pretty hopeful, as this time I'm nauseous, have sore bbs, and a sore back. Last time I was just tired all the time. But tonight I woke up 2.5 hours ago with some slight cramping, and now I'm spotting. I can't fall asleep, I'm so worried. I tried talking to my husband about it, but he says I'm worrying over nothing, and my negativity is getting on his nerves.
I hate knowing theres nothing I can do, and i cant stop crying

Spotting can be perfectly normal in early pregnancy !
I spotted with my first son and had a perfectly healthy pregnancy , second son I had a very heavy bleed and again healthy pregnancy !
My MMC I had no spotting or any signs of something being wrong ...
So my point is try not to worry . Take it one day at a time, it's completely out of our hands .
I say this but I know I would be feeling exactly the same as you. I need to take my own advice because when I'm pregnant I'm always so worried!
I hope you have a successful pregnancy this time.. Try not to stress!

I bled 9 days ago. Because I had a miscarriage before this one my doctor put me on progesterone right away. I haven't bled since and my pregnancy symptoms changed a bit. My chronic diarrhea turned into constipation. I feel in my case the progesterone really helped.

Bleeding can be very normal so it is hard to say if it will end in a miscarriage or not. Are your doctors monitoring you closely? Seeing how you have miscarried before and it took you long to get pregnant again it would be a good idea.

If you are spotting, see if they can get you in for some blood tests to check your hcg and progesterone levels. I personally haven't had much success with spotting during early pregnancy, but my sister spotted with her three girls and they all turned out fine (though she did need progesterone for the latter two). I had one day of spotting with this pregnancy and it turned out okay, but with my history of loss, my midwife got me into the hospital for blood tests right away so that we could closely monitor the situation.

Also, *BIG HUGS* -- I was a wreck with my most recent MC and my hubby said something very similar (suggesting that maybe my negativity was causing my repeated losses, the jerk). Men don't always realize how hurtful they're being, and they cope with the losses differently than we do.

I know you posted this days ago, so my fingers are tightly crossed that you and the baby are okay!
