It's funny that I find myself doing the same thing each time I go to the bathroom too. Wouldn't you know that my fear was realized yesterday morning. Sure enough when I wiped yesterday I almost fainted. Immediately I went back to bed and contemplated whether to go to work or not. I eventually decided to go in. I called my RE and was told that spotting is usually normal at this stage. However, I'm still freaking out. I'm still spotting this morning and trying my best to cope and not let it stress me too muchit. I have an appointment this morning so I guess I'll get the news one way or the other. In the mean time I'm trying to keep the faith and take it as easy as possible.

OMG !!  I started spotting on Sunday and it lasted till yesterday.It started out pink and then turned brown.Yesterday it stopped thank God.I went in for some bloodwork and will get the results on Friday. I almost passed out also when I first saw it. I can't believe that it happened to both of us around the same time.My Dr is not too worried though because it is brown in color and not bright red.That means that it is old blood.She also asked if I had sex within 24 hours, which I did. she siad that it is common to spot after sex because the cervix is very sensitive and filled with blood vessels from being pregnant.
I was not cramping alot either. How are you feeling today? Please let me know how your Dr appt goes.You are in my thoughts and prayers!

Thank you for your prayers. You don’t know how much that means.

Funny how that happened to both of us around the same time. I went to my OB for the first time yesterday and she said that sex may have been the cause (I too had had sex within 24 hours). She did a thorough examination and found that there was no bleeding and everything looked good. The little heartbeat is still beating as strong as ever (Yeah!!) The spotting has finally gone away and I’m feeling fine now. However, she wants me to refrain from sex until I pass my first trimester just to be on the safe side. In addition, she wants me to see a maternal, fetal (high risk) doctor for the duration of my pregnancy because of the m/c. All in all, everything went great and I’m in good spirits.

BTW, I must tell you that I absolutely love her already. I never really did click with my last OB and this time around it was of major concern for me, but now I know she’s going to be great. She is absolutely awesome!!

That is great news! Sex is off limits for us too until I get past my 1st ulrasound on the 10th. I don't think we could wait till the 1st trimester is over anyway.  I stopped spotting and had my progesterone and hcg levels checked.Just got back the results this morning and everything is within normal range. I am at 7+ weeks and doing good. I will be crossing everything and looking  like a pretzel until the 10th. I am glad that you like your OB. I am not too happy with mine and am looking for a different doctor. I think that I will go back to my old doctor before  I moved.She is about an hour away but I think that I will feel more secure going to someone who knows my misscarriage history.

Good morning ladies and Happy Halloween!!
  How are all my pregnant friend doing today?
  This morning I woke up to find that I was spotting again.It is brown in color and I am not cramping so I'm not going to worry too much about it. My levels are good and I just have to keep praying that everything will be okay. Nothing is going to make me feel good about this pregnancy until I get to see the baby and heartbeat. 10 days to go!!! Argggggh!!
