Seeing Red
Over the weekend I saw something that no person who has wanted a pregnancy so bad ever wants to see. Red.
Monday was a quick trip to the doctor and a blood test and an order for an ultrasound, which was yesterday.
A beta of 3,362, and a diagnosis of low-progesterone, and the possibilty of a tubal pregnancy. Let the worry begin.
Our ultrasound was yesterday and I'm happy to report we do not have a tubal pregnancy, the baby is growing in the uterus just where it should be. Thank God. All I have to do now is take a progesterone suppository twice a day (lovely-let me tell you) for my first trimester.
A small price to pay considering the fact that we want this child more than anything.
But just to play on the safe side, no more window shopping at the baby stores. Don't want to jynx myself. But of course our family has already started buying items and letting us know that we are having a boy. How they think they know that, I don't know, we'll be happy either way. We just want it to be healthy.
And I know I won't think this way in about 7 months, but come on belly, grow!!!!! :)

Dazed had a similar episode. I know it has to be nerve-wracking, especially knowing how much the two of you want this child. I am sending much love and good thoughts your way. You deserve it.

What a horrible feeling! I had spotting too, around 8 weeks. I have never been so terrified in my life.
Keep taking care of yourself!
