Thanks for all of the encouraging words after my last post about the spotting. After a little more rational thought and analysis of the situation I am feeling pretty good about everything. Here's the deal- and possibly a little over sharing....
We all know about the less than glamorous side effects of pregnancy. Read: constipation. On Friday things were not moving, lets just say things did finally move but it was difficult. I'm guessing that may have been part of the spotting incident later in the evening. Today prunes have been added to my diet in an attempt to remedy this situation!
There hasn't been another single spot of blood since 8am Saturday morning, not even on the endometrin applicator. Everything is fine. After looking through the paper work that I got from my OB last week my mind was put even more at ease. I was scheduled to reduce my endometrin dose on Saturday to a single dose, but after the spotting and knowing it might be tricky to get in to see my doctor over the weekend if there was an issue, I decided not to. Now that it is Monday and I've been without issue for over 48 hours I decided to reduce my dose today. I'm feeling super confident that everything will be fine- and it is an added bonus to know that the nursing staff and my OB are just a phone call away if there is anymore spotting.
11 weeks tomorrow :)

So glad to hear there has not been any more spotting!
Yay! I'm glad things worked out ok and hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here on out.
So glad to hear everything is okay! I actually had red spotting at about eight weeks, but it turned out to be nothing bad. I think some women just have old blood or increased blood flow that has to come out - but baby is fine (or babies, hehe). Just so relieved all is well. And you're getting so close to the end of first trimester!!!
Glad things are going well. 11 weeks! Your first trimester almost over. It flies.
Glad the spotting has disappeared! I had a subchorionic hematoma that made me bleed from week 5 to week 16....I was an emotional mess. But I am 20 weeks now and it was gone on the 18w u/s!! Hope you don't have any more scares!
