Spotting=Ugh!

Last night I spotted a tiny bit. (TMI warning...) DH & I were headed to  bed. I went to the bathroom and wiped, and there was a tiny bit of brown discharge. I freaked, just stared at it for a minute, and then DH came in and asked what it was. I explained it and tried not to cry, but I did anyways. Tried to go to bed, and ended up getting up 4 or 5 times to go to the bathroom to check. The next 2 times there was a teeny tiny bit of pink. I mean minuscule. But I still freaked again, brown, ok well thats old, but WTF is this pink?? I ended up getting sick to my stomach, 1 because I was nauseous all day, but 2 because I was freaking out. Went to bed a little bit later.

When I woke up, I called out of work, and waited until 9 to call the doc's office. I left a message with one of the nurse receptionist, and a nurse called me back in a 1/2 hour. Thankfully I got a positive one, she was really nice and didn't give me the whole end of the world talk. She talked about the nausea first, gave me the whole "saltines saltines saltines" talk. She said when I come in they can also discuss vitamins and possibly meds. I'm hoping to ask about B6, my sister took it and it helped her a ton. She then went on to ask about the spotting, and asked about cramping, which I explained I haven't had anything bad. I have had a little bit, but its been since we got our BFP. She said it was possibly from the last time we had sex, but that was almost a week ago. She was able to move up our ultrasound from Monday 4/4 to tomorrow at 1:55. DH was ablet o switch days at work so he can come. I'm praying and hoping all is well. I also posted on the Bump, and got so much support. I love you Bump girls!!! So nice to be able to go some where that other people understand how I'm feeling. I'll post tomorrow, hopefully with good news and a picture of our little sweet pea!!

1948!!! Woohoo!! I feel like a million pounds have been lifted off my chest. So relieved! Now just waiting for my RE's office to call back to schedule my first ultrasound appointment to see the heartbeat, then I get released to my regular OB/GYN. So happy!!! :)

Kind of early...

But why not? Its somewhere to look back on when I'm huge and trying to remember what it was like not to be pregnant. ;)

Milestones: Had 2 betas, 1st  26 & 2nd 75. 

Beta #2...

I forgot to post about my 2nd beta...it was 75. At first I thought it was good, but then the nurse went on to say that it "wasn't where they wanted it.." and I freaked and had a meltdown. But the sweet girls on the bump Nov 2011 board made me feel so much better, introducing me to the betabase.info site. Turns out, my #s did double, and in the time they should have. I go back next Monday for a third test, hopefully it will be good! I hope we'll get our ultrasound scheduled then, too. I can't wait to go back to my regular OB/GYN, his office is much easier to deal with, and I love my doctor, he's so funny and makes me so relaxed. I believe they will release me from the RE at 8 weeks, and they do a "send off" with the ultrasound and an appointment.

Beta# 1

Came back at 26! I'm pregnant!! Woohoo! I go back Monday at 8AM for the 2nd.

Here are the tests:

This was the Wondfo test that I did first, it was sooo light!

Here was the 2 Wondfo's, 8DPO and 9DPO (both afternoon urine, FMU really didn't show much as strange as that is!) 

FRER, barely there! I still wasn't convinced. 

And finally, what made me cry and laugh and shake!

So happy, still can't believe it. Praying & hoping all goes well, thanks for reading!
