AND THE DRAMA BEGINS.........................................................

[Nickey1]

OK, I just HAD to post, I'm sooooooo afraid right now.  As you all know, I'm only 5 weeks pregnant (today).  This morning when I got up and went to the bathroom I noticed VERY light blood on the toilet paper, non in my underwear (sorry for tmi).  I went on with my day, and of course while at work, I went to the bathroom to check about 50 times within 8 hours, and I didn't see anything........now tonight, over 12 hours later, I go to the bathroom, and there it is again.  It's very light and was only there once.  Of course over the last hour, since I first saw it, I've checked several times, and I don't see anything.  Now I'm starting to get a few cramps, BUT honestly I'm not sure if they're actual cramps or anxiety..........As of now, I'm not going to go to the ER, for starters I'm NOT mentally ready for any bad news, and mainly because I know I'm so early that it'll be nothing they can do, unless I'm passing clots or something (which I'm not)........so I just have to wait it out.  My 1st doctor's appointment isn't for another 3 weeks (March 7th) they want me to be 8 weeks, so as of now, unless it worsens, the only thing I can do is wait it out, but I just need some comfort before I pass out before the appointment gets here.

OH, and very briefly for those of you who don't know my history, I lost a baby at 19 weeks back in June, due to fibroids.  The doc had since said the fibroids supply has been cut, so they're pretty much taking care of themselves.  I'm pretty healthy (other than needing/wanting to lose a few pounds) and befor last year (fibroids), I've never had any health problems............

As I type, my cramps are worsening, but NOT unbearable............I think I'm going to TRY and just sleep the anxiety away, and PRAY for a better day tomorrow.

Thanks EVERYONE for listening!

I am praying for you. I am also about 5 wks. and I saw alittle pinkish spottine on thursday. I also misscarried in aug of 07. I went to doc and he did ultrasound(vaginal) he seen sac and my blood levels have been tested just waiting to se them rise. I have been assured that this us very common in early pregnancy and some women bleed up until mid-to-late preg. say a prayer for me and i'll do the same for you.

Its normal to have cramps in early pregnancy. As long as the spotting isn't red and you're not cramping as you spot I wouldn't be too corncerned. I bled pretty bad during my pregnancy and I would never cramp as I bled only after. She is now 7 weeks and doing good. Keep faith everything could be okay. Also, if you did go to the ER they most likely wouldn't be able to see anything this early and it would only make you worry more than you already are.
