I began to get cramps and brown spotting when I would wipe this past Monday. It instantly flew me into a panic, so I called my RE's nurse. She stated that it's perfectly "normal" to spot during pregnancy. She stated that I have nothing to worry about. However, by Tuesday the cramping continued and the spotting continued. By the time I got up in the middle of the night to go pee (late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning) I was passing nickle-sized brown blood clots. The cramping this morning (Wednesday) is noticeably stronger, especially in my lower back. And upon going pee this morning when I got up, I continued to pass brown blood clots. There isn't anything noticeable on my panty liner (thank God!) but I am beyond worried. I have also noticed as of this past Monday that my morning sickness has substantially subsided each day. These are not good signs. I am scheduled for an ultrasound this evening, which was already scheduled a week ago. But I can't help but feel that perhaps my nurse maybe should've taken me a bit more seriously. All she told me to do was to do as little physical activity as possible. I am especially concerned, since last week my RE took me off of my twice daily progesterone injections to simply a morning progesterone vaginal cream. It seemed like a pretty drastic change in the amount of progesterone to me. And progesterone is the very hormone that helps a miscarriage from happening!
I am left feeling helpless and angry from feeling that there's nothing I can do, but lie here and wait for my appointment to come this evening. I am praying that when he does my ultrasound this evening, he doesn't tell me that one or both of the babies have stopped growing and have died; hence the brown blood. A huge part of me will have died with them if that is the case.
Oh you poor thing. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. I wish I had words that would make any bit of a difference. Just know that you're in my thoughts and prayers and I hope only the best outcome.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you in my prayers today, and wish you the best. I'm not going to lie, that whole face tearing thingy kinda scared me and I don't know what to say.. ;)

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you are going through this. I know there isn't anything anyone can say to help. Will be thinking of you this evening.
Roxy, What did you find out? I really hope it was good news. I know you hope the same. Be positive. :) Let me know something as soon as you find out.
