Almost a week ago I started spotting. Nothing major, just a little that I thought it was implementation bleeding. The next day it changed to a bright red color which scared me. I called my doctor and they said do not worry it is probable normal and if I am miscarrying there is nothing to do about it. Plus, do not lift anything over 10lbs. Ok, I told myself all is good and to stop worrying... Well that only lasts as long as I do not go to the bathroom where I am reminded that I am still spotting.
I am scared shitless. I know it is normal but what is considered normal? What is considered normal for me may not be normal for the next lady. I keep telling myself to be patience, relax, and it is all working out but it is not working.
I am still spotting some days better than others but still spotting. I am trying to stay calm but I am screaming/crying inside. I keep telling my little embabies to hold on tight. But really, I am just scared shitless.
I also want to add I really do not have any symptoms. At least any that I might have could be from my amazing imagination!
oh Kelly. Please don't let your imagination run wild. Like you told me, take one day at a time. Rest as much as you can! Will you be seeing a dr. soon? or ultrasound done?
ReplyDeleteWhen I told you that, I had a sneaky feeling it will be used against me! Haha! However, I agree it us fabulous advise and now I will try my best to do it! My next dr appt/ultrasound is next monday so it is approaching! I just hope/pray that we see 1 or 2 little embabies attached and go strong!
DeleteC'mon! How could I not throw that at you!! I pray you will see an embaby or 2 as well. Envision them growing and holding on tight!
Deletexoxo
oh scary! You will be in my prayers, keep good thoughts and take it easy ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteHi Kelly, I found your blog through Toni's blog. I just wanted to tell you that I had bright red bleeding the day before my 6 week ultrasound (after IVF) and I thought for sure I was miscarrying. However, at the ultrasound we learned it was just a blood clot and guess what, we're having twins! My doctor put me on a few days bedrest and the clot worked itself out in a few days. I've heard so many stories especially with IVF about unexplained bleeding. So don't give up hope!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jules!! You have no idea how much you gave me a sense of relief. I hated googling because googling resulted in miscarriage.
DeleteTwins!!! That is so exciting. Thanks so much!
Step away from Dr. Google! :) I wrote a similar post 2 weeks ago when my bleeding started and a ton of my bloggy friends wrote reassuring comments to me with their stories. You might want to check it out: http://heyjbn.blogspot.com/2012/03/bleeding.html
Deletep.s. I still have spotting 2 weeks later! (though now it's dark red/brownish. I guess this is something I have to get used to!
DeleteMy one friends cousin spotted until week 20!! I think I would go insane!
DeleteHang in there... bleeding can be completely normal and I've known of many mums IRL and blogging that have had quite a bit of bleeding then gone on to have a healthy pregnancy and bub :) Thinking of you and know how hard it can be to go through this :( Love always xoxo
ReplyDeletePS. I've taken my blog public again today... so it will be much easier to follow from now on :)) xoxo
Thank you! I have talked some IRL friends and online friends lately that have really given me a sense of relief.
DeleteI am so glad you are public!
