Hey, everybody! *Mention of MC

[peanutbuttersugar]

Tested yesterday with FRER (one day early) and got a very strong positive! EDD is October 3rd, but DS was induced 3 days early due to low amniotic fluid, so I might end up with S15. We weren't "trying" but we weren't not trying. DH and I have a 3.5 month (15 week) old boy. So if you're doing the math, yes, he was born in October of 2014. From 6 weeks throughout the entire pregnancy, I suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum. During my pregnancy with DS I was just a lowly lurker on the O14 board on TB, but I learned a lot from those knowledgeable (and wonderfully blunt!) women. DH and I chose to not go on birth control following his birth because of our history. We started TTGP in May of 2013 and were fortunate enough to get pregnant immediately, but we suffered a MC in June of 2013. I struggled emotionally with this, and still do, and we struggled to conceive again for another 6 months. I know many have tried for much longer and have had much worse happen. I don't mean to trivialize what anyone has been through. This morning I experienced some brown spotting and very mild cramping, so due to my history, my OB requested I come in for blood work. FX it's just implantation bleeding! Hope to continue to see you all here! Best wishes to everyone!!

Congratulations on your BFP. I hope your bloodwork comes back fast and puts your mind at ease.

Congratulations on both babies and I am so sorry for your loss. FX that the bleeding stops and you have a boring H&H 9 months.

Sorry for your loss. Congrats on the BFP and FX for good bloodwork results!

[peanutbuttersugar]

Thanks, guys! Results should be back Sunday or Monday, but I'll probably have a clearer idea by then anyway... Depending on if it stops or continues. The good news is that it hasn't increased - it may have even decreased.

I'm already nauseous too... but that could be a result of the monstrous headache from holding my 3 month old who was screaming in my ear like a howler monkey. The kid has no patience when he's hungry. Good thing you're so darn cute, little man!

*Update* The blood work I had done on Friday had results already back yesterday! My OB called and said everything looks really good for now. Progesterone is good and HCG was over 200. If the spotting doesn't completely stop by tomorrow, he's asked me to come back in for more "reassurance" (another blood draw to compare). Thank you ladies for all your support and well wishes!!

That's a great update!

That's great news!

Glad to hear the blood work looks good! Congrats on your bfp!

Welcome! Happy to hear your blood work went well. FX for a sticky baby!

*NEW Update!* I went in yesterday (Monday) for another blood draw and the results came back super fast again. My OB called today and said everything looks even better than expected. As I mentioned earlier, Friday's HCG level was over 200, so I was just hoping for something at least over 400... it was over 1,000! I'm just so relieved since my loss in 2013 started with spotting, and I expected the worst when the spotting happened this time around. With these HCG numbers, my OB said he doesn't want me to wait until the 17th to have my first appointment, so he moved us up a week to the 10th! I'll be 6 weeks 3 days by LMP calculation, so I'm really hoping to hear that beautiful heartbeat! I feel super lucky already to have you ladies here, so thank you again for all your kind words and support.
