Spotting and freaking out!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Beachy- am with the others, try to relax and not worry too much. I know that feeling too, just awful, hope you can get some reassurance and praying everything will be OK for your LO (((hugs)))

Indigo - are you still around? Where is that baby?!?!?!?!

[indigoviolet]

Yes still here! Baby on it's way though, am getting a few mild contractions (hind-waters broke last night) so things happening.

really hoping and praying all well with you and your LO. Did you get the results from the lab?

I had some more dark brown spotting yesterday, but it wasn't a lot at all and was just here or there. It stopped 100% again last night and so far nothing this morning. I hope it stays away ALL day today!

I am going to call about my labs in a few hours and see what my beta and progesterone were from yesterday. My temp is still above coverline too so hopefully all good signs.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Got my results back - Beta is 4,794 (she said indicates late 5 weeks which is good since I am early 5 weeks) and progesterone was 11.5 which she said is normal.

I had one incident of spotting today (TMI....after going #2). It was dark brown and that has been the only time.

Would you be happy with everything so far?

I think those numbers sound great!

The spotting after a bowel movement really sounds like either a sensitive cervix or even a fibroid...not a miscarriage! :-)

[auroara78]

I think the numbers are great and I agree, I think you may just have a sensitive cervix.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Thanks ladies! I haven't had any more spotting so I think it is gone. I stopped wearing panty liners (even though I didn't need it in the first place) and started to relax a little. I went back to the lab this AM and will get my second set of numbers back on Monday.

Keep your fingers crossed that everything is OK!

[Rosie85]

I am curious why it takes so long to get your numbers back from lab? Mine will have mine back in an hour. So glad to hear the spotting stopped! I really do think it was just a sensitive cervix!

[NCBeachyGrl]

I live in a smaller town...we don't have many OB options and they have to send off all blood to a lab (LabCorp). I think LabCorp comes around at 5 PM each day and picks up the blood, does testing, and then faxes over the results. The office won't open back up until Monday so I have to wait until then. It sucks!!!!!!!

[Rosie85]

Yikes! That would suck. I have zero patience :-) Well hopefully the numbers are what you want to hear, I am sure they will be!
