Soooo.... I took the pregnancy test and it was positive!! I was pretty excited about the whole thing that's for sure. Brad and I told our parents and siblings about the positive test. I'm still really nervous about the whole thing if you ask me.... I have a small reason of concern because this evening when I got home from work I checked my cervix and I had the TINIEST clot on my finger with a little bit of blood. There was nothing on the toilet paper or in my underwear- that was about 2 hours ago and I haven't gotten any other "spotting" if that's what you want to call it. Of course the second I saw it my heart totally dropped and I thought..."miscarriage". How could you not right? The second I came out of the bathroom I jumped on the computer and hopped on the internet- I concluded that i should not be checking my cervix because it becomes engorged with blood and can bleed easily when touched and can also cause infection. So I guess I won't be doing THAT anymore. I'll just have to worry when I see it in my underwear.
I just don't want to lose this little bean. My temp this morning was higher than it was yesterday so that is a good sign. Haven't gone to the doctor yet so I'll have to get with them to check my HCG levels to make sure they are increasing appropriately. This is exactly why we didn't want to tell a bunch of people right away- call me a realist. My boobs are pretty sore and i've had some cramping too- I hope it's my uterus stretching. By my calculations-I'm about 4 weeks and 3 days along....
I guess we'll have to see what happens. We were hoping to tell the rest of the family at Thanksgiving of the good but preliminary news and then cards for Christmas for the really extended family and friends- I hope to make it that far!!
So if the pregnancy sticks....
Yaaaayyyy!!!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you should stop checking your temps, too. They can be really erratic and don't really indicate anything now that you've got your + preggo test. ;) TRUST ME.
(yes, as a matter of fact, I did check mine a couple weeks ago and it was so low it scared me... I just had to tell myself I was being completely irrational and Isaac is FINE, as evidenced by yesterday's ultrasound)
I think I'll stop taking my temps after Friday when I have my first Dr appt to do my intake and do my lab work- I am just paranoid- I can't help it- I just need to relax and let nature take it's course- I also have my first appt with the OB and hopefully have my first ultrasound on the 11th so I hope to see a heartbeat!! That's when we'll start telling our closest friends (that includes you Kim so you have to act surprised and I hope you didn't tell anyone) who don't know yet- it still hasn't hit me yet- I don't know when it will- hopefully before he pops out!!
