Amanda you have every reason to vent. I have never had any bleeding while pregnant but from being a member of this board it is very common. I would hate to be in limbo too. If it were me I would assume I am still pregnant and hope for the best. I had a friend that miscarried, her level went down and 2 weeks later found out there was another baby, she went on to have a healthy baby but did need to take progesterone supplements until she was 12 weeks. I do not think you are more high risk or that you will have a problem pregnancy because of it.

I hope you get some answers soon!

Thank you for understanding my need to vent, it is hard in these early stages when you havent told the whole world yet it is soo much easier to talk to you guys.
I want more than anything to just assume that I am still pregnant and hope for the best, but I am worried about being crushed again like I was Friday night/Sat morning when I had so much cramping.
Lets hope that I am not more high risk that would be nice, I dont need any more problems.
Lets just hope that my hCG level is thru the roof.  it was 57 on the 1st and 197 on the 4th so lets hope its 1000+ tomorrow on the 9th.  My low hCG levels are not cool, so they need to go up, I think that would help my mind, so lets hope my darn body cooperates haha...

I remember the waiting too but I was spotting for about 5 weeks or so and baby is fine as far as we know. Saw heartbeat at 6 weeks still spotting. Heard heartbeart at 11 weeks still a little spotting but not as much. I know the waiting is awful and until I see this little one again or hear the heartbeat Wednesday at my next appointment I still worry. Not worrying is usually not possible but if there was no awful pain and the bleeding was mild and all still think on the positive side some. I am not high risk because of the spotting though. I am high risk from previous pregnancies and losses. So keep talking when you need to. It helps to hear other people.

I need to hear other people otherwise I am just going to be talking to myself. and if I am still PG the baby doesnt need a crazy mom that talks to herself haha!!

The bad cramping Friday night was just something I have never experienced before in my life.

Tomorrow I am going at lunch to visit the vampires (getting my blood drawn)  they are doing a full OB pannel so we will know more wednesday.  Maybe we still need the ultrasound apointment for the 18th, my boss already gave me it off (she doesnt know i had the pos pregnancy test, she just knows I needed to go to the doctor).

I am hoping that I dont end up high risk, but we will see.

I have to say I love my DH SOO much he has been so level headed and patient, and sweet and amazingly patient (almost to a fault) he is so positive to, just thinks that everything will be okay, went on record today and said he thinks were still pregnant.  I really wish I could be as positive as him, I guess just being scared it seems to be my coping mecanism just to assume the worst.

Amanda,
I just wanted to say you are in my thoughts.  I have had bleeding with this current pregnancy, and it was scary as hell.  I can say in very early pregnancy I had cramping that was painful, but it seems that it was stretching and implanting type thing...because I usually get no cramps during AF so I was alarmed.  The pregnancy I did have a m/c I had 3 streaks of light brown discharge type blood and no pain at all.  I was shocked when I had lost the baby.  But what I did learn from that m/c was that my OB office was not supportive and made little sense.  They kept delaying my appointments and bloodwork.  They only did HcG once, and that was it.  I have to tell you though I know m/c happen I truely blame them (and me a little) for not pushing for more blood work.  I went to a new Dr for my pregnancy with DD and this time, they immediately do full blood work and at least 2 HcG's to compair and watch the rise...they also monitor with almostly weekly u/s in the beginning to make sure implantation is in the uterus, there is a sak, etc.  We found out from their good care I must have progesterone supplements to sustain my pregnancies (which is why I think my first m/c could have been prevented).  Make sure you ask about those levels and insist on top notch care.  Keeping u and ur family in my thoughts.

I do have to say that is one thing my doctor has done pretty well, she has had me in to have my blood drawn more often than I ever did for my RNY, This will be my 3rd blood draw since we had the positive test on the 31st of May.
I am going to have the blood drawn today :)  So it will be less than 24 hours before some answers thank god!

And just on a side note thank you all for being so kind understanding and sympathetic to me and my situation, I really thought that I was going to get the " you worry to much" "just realx" but you guys really seem to understand why I am so freaked out.
