Hi all. So I started spotting bright red this weekend with some wicked back pain. Called the OB this morning and I'm currently waiting for a blood draw to check progesterone levels and HCG levels. I have another blood draw on Wednesday and then my regular scheduled first tri ultrasound on Thursday. I'm 7 weeks 4 days today. I had spotting with my son that resolved so I know I shouldn't freak out just yet. Good thoughts appreciated!

Fingers crossed that it's nothing serious and stops soon!

Sorry to hear. Fingers crossed it's a nasty false alarm. Glad you've got appointments soon x

Thanks for all the positive thoughts and words. The waiting is hard. All of my pregnancy symptoms are gone, too. My husband doesn't seem worried at all, since the exact same thing happened when I was pregnant with my son. But I'm not going to be able to stop worrying until I see a heartbeat on Thursday and know my levels are going up.

So, my HCg numbers look good so far. My progesterone is low though, which explains the spotting. I have a supplement now and wait for the second blood draw tomorrow and the ultrasound. Anyone have experience taking progesterone pills?

Anyone have experience taking progesterone pills? I've only ever done the cream and suppositories, sorry. I think it can make you tired. If that's helpful. Fx for Thursday! |

Anyone have experience taking progesterone pills? No experience, but FX that's the only concern, and that the supplement fixes it. That could explain some of your lack of symptoms, especially since progesterone seems to be the culprit for most of them. |

Update:
My HCg went up 73% in two days. He said it's not ideal, but it doesn't matter because the ultrasound showed the baby in my uterus with a strong heartbeat of 150bpm and measuring right on time (according to my calculations at least). I have to keep up the progesterone until twelve weeks, but he thinks things will be just fine. Thanks for all the good thoughts ladies!
