5w5d ultrasound and bleeding in the evening

I was a big ball of nerves this morning. I dropped Tristan off at school and then met Nick at the clinic.
Everything looked great! Still just one baby and measuring 5w4d and perfect!

It's a beautiful day outside and I just could not be happier!!!




However, in the evening, I had another subchorionic hematoma. I bled heavily with clots and cramps for about an hour and then it stopped completely. It is such a scary thing to see that much blood while pregnant, but I just had an ultrasound a few hours earlier, so now I know I am just one of those that fall into the 20% category of bleeding while pregnant.

5w1d - Bleeding

Emotions are high today.

On this day during my last pregnancy, I had a subchronic hemorage during lunch. I keep going to the bathroom to check the toilet paper to make sure there is no blood. Although, my rational side keeps telling me that pregnancy wasn't meant to be and the bleed was my body's way of flushing it out. I get it, but it still has me nervous. I just can't wait until my ultrasound on Thursday.

Nick is in NYC until Wednesday night, so I will have to get my mom to do my injection for me the next three days.

***Update. Just what I was afraid of. Right after lunch, I went to the bathroom and wiped bright blood. A few minutes later, I went back to bathroom and there was a huge clot and more blood. I promptly left work and headed to the clinic, crying the entire 45 minute trip there. Upon entering the building, I could feel blood dripping down my leg and went to the bathroom and I was soaked through and two more clots the size of my fist. I just knew it was over.

I was sobbing in the waiting room waiting for my turn. Ultrasound showed one gestational sac!! Still very early to see anything else, but Dr Yeh couldn't see another hemorage and told me to stop the blood thinners. After reviewing my bloodwork, he is increasing my progesterone to 3.5ml. I go back on Friday. I have never felt so relieved.

4w3d

I am hanging in here! So excited to be pregnant FINALLY.

Dr Yeh increased my progesterone from 1ml to 2ml and added 3 progesterone oral tabs per day, so all the extra progesterone on top of pregnancy is making me exhausted!

Here are my lab results from Monday:


I am anxious for my first ultrasound on 5w4d on March 1st to see if one or both embryos survived. I had a feeling last week it was two, but my beta results are indicative of only one. So time will tell.

Will I have a successful pregnancy?

4dp5dt Symptoms

I tested for the first time this am and stark white negative. I know today is too early, but my curiosity and lack of patience get the better of me.

I actually slept well last night besides getting up to potty and having an intense cramping in my ovary area.

All day I have had a headache. I really hope if this is meant to be, I get a BFP tomorrow on Valentine's Day, so that I can surprise Nick at dinner. I want to put the pregnancy test in a Tiffany's pen box and wrap it up.
