A place I'd rather be.


Went to the bathroom for the third time in two hours. Noticed lots of bright red blood and tissue on pad. Tried to breath hard quietly. Tried to not sob loudly. Folded up the pad and laid it in the trash can. Wiped my eyes. Put a new pad in. Flushed. Opened the door of my stall in the crowded public restroom and washed my hands without making eye contact with anyone. Walked out to the mall where D was waiting. Bumped in to a woman rocking her beautiful baby in her arms. Put on my sunglasses. Struggled to find my breath to answer D when he asked where I wanted to go next. Whispered: "home". 

We didn't talk much on the way home. Well, I tried, but was sobbing too much to really make any sense. When we got home D walked me to our bed, put me in it and wrapped himself around me. He kissed me and told me everything is going to be alright. I love that man.

The neighbors are having a bonfire party. I'm having a pity party. I'd rather be over there.

  6. Please don't be so sad. Spotting is not abnormal. I know how scary it is but it happens, even with very normal pregnancies. You're 18dpo now, please ask your GP for that beta asap and put your mind at ease. And possibly they can schedule an u/s for as soon as you hit week the week after next.

    And by all means, stay away from Dr. Google.

    My thoughts and hopes are with you, honey.

  16. It ain't over til the fat lady sings. Go get that test. Then mourn or celebrate.

    In the meantime, take good care of yourself!

  17. I'm so sorry. That must be incredibly scary, and devastating for what it can mean for your pregnancy. I am, however, with Jem. Get a test to know for sure what's going on. While all signs may point to miscarriage, after reading countless accounts of early pregnancy, I found that bleeding in early pregnancy, even very heavy bleeding, is very common, and lots of women have gone on to have healthy pregnancies after a bleeding incident.

    All the same, I will be keeping you in my thoughts... sending you the biggest dose of peace I can muster.

  18. Bleeding isn't always a bad sign, but it sure is scary. The +hpt has to be good news. Are you getting betas done? That would at least tell you how high the hcg is, and whether they are increasing or decreasing. The waiting is hard and scary, but there really are reasons you could be bleeding and everything could be okay. Hang in there, and don't give up hope yet! - tkeys
