I have a feeling this is going to get old...bleeding during early pregnancy. It is terrifying and nerve-wracking! It happened again to me this morning at 5am. The bleeding lasted longer this time around. I passed another clot. I am still spotting a bit at this point. The nurse had me come in for another scan to make sure everything was ok.
Well, everything is still ok! Amazing! The mini has doubled in size since Friday (CRL is now 10.07mm), the yolk sac (which feeds the baby and becomes the placenta) is really big, and the heartbeat was nice and strong. We got a good listen again today, and as the RE said...it must be like music to your ears...indeed! The RE mentioned that OB/Gyns do not see a lot of bleeding, but it is common for the REs to see it. He said that sometimes the bleeding happens as the ovaries and corpus luteums shrink. Other times, they really just do not know. He shook both of our hands and told us to keep the faith. So, that is what we are doing.
We now go back on Monday, Jan. 12th for another scan, unless I have to go in unexpectedly again. I am still supposed to call if the bleeding gets worse, or if I pass more clots. If the spotting continues as is and things do not change...then I will just keep my scheduled appointment.
So, for now...join us in just KEEPING THE FAITH!
