We got a +, but I am nervous...

Original post by DecBride04

Hey girls, I have to tell you my story. It is so strange, but very true. Back on April 9th, DH woke up that morning, saying he had this dream and seemed to real to be a dream. He had the dream of where your teeth fall out. He said that he remembers learning that 'this' kind of dream represents someone you know will be prego! He called all are friends to far warn them to be carefully if they didn't want to be prego just yet. I didn't think anything of it. I was due for the Period that day, never came. I didn't get worried, because I am always abnormal with my flo. Come Monday April 11th, while at work...a girl was talking about the myth of when you string a ring on thread and place it over a woman's hand or belly, it will determine how many babies and the sex of each will be. So of course all of us being intersted in this, tried it. Well when it was my turn, the string spun out of control and the girl looked at me and goes 'your pregnant!'. I was like 'no', get out of here. Well the next morning I was off and happen to have a pregnancy test in my closet. I was so curious, I had to take it. Well it was true, it showed a BFP for me. I was so excited, had to call DH at work. We did another test that day, just to be sure. I saw my doctor the next day and had a blood test done and yes, that too came back +. So by Thursday we were all so excited and knew we are now 5 weeks prego! But this is where I have begun to get nervous.... Since Friday, I have had spotting... first it was a light pink tinge. On Sat I saw some red blood and on Sunday it has turn to brown. Today just a smear of brown blood. I only notice the blood when I wipe after using the toliet. It is not as if I am bleeding all that much, but it makes me so nervous. I am seeing my Gyno today to see what can be wrong. I truely hope nothing comes of it. I have already started my prenatal pills and have been feeling good. By breast are getting huge and supper sensitive. Another thing I notice, I can't stand the cold... Have to take supper hot showers and need lots of blankets, even when it is warm out. If anyone has any advise, please share. I am so nervous and just cant wait to have my appt. today over with and have an answer.... PS - how do they test you for a M/C??

Congratulations. I had the spotting also in the beginning of my pregnancy. I now have a beautiful little daughter.

Thank you ladies for all the support!

So I went to the OB on Monday and got some answers. We repeated my blood work and looks good, the BETA is still going up. They think it was implantation bleeding and just to be on the safe side, because my progesterone levels are lower than where they should be, so my doctor put me on a progesterone suppliment for the next 6 weeks. I am 6 weeks prego now, so it will be until I am 12 weeks. At week 10, the baby starts to make its own hormones, so to be on the safe side, they will have me on it till week 12. For now the spotting has stopped, but I am having some mild cramping. It almost feels like 'growing' pains, it is in my pelvis bone on the right side. Anyone experience this?

Tomorrow is my first offical 'pre-natal' visit. My DH is coming home early just to be there for it. I am excited! My due date is Dec 14th!!! How soon do they do an Ultra-sound?

Congrats!!! They could do an internal sono at your first visit. I was 7 weeks when they did mine.
