All is well...

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 :)

Ten but not eleven...

So, last week in my 10 week update I said something about making it to ten weeks without any complications.... I will not be making the same claim on Tuesday in my 11 week update.

Friday night when I went to the bathroom to do my PM dose of endometrin, I found some brownish blood on my panty liner. I.freaked.out. Hysterical crying began within seconds and after a swipe with the TP, I saw more brown blood. I sobbed for about 10 minutes before I pulled myself together and looked at the situation as the informed infertile that I am, instead of the emotional one.

First, it was brown. There was not any hint of red, or even pink. After wiping multiple times, it was over. When I finally had it together enough to do my endometrin, there was very little brown blood on the applicator.
Second, we knew there was a third sac in there. It was very hard to see because of its placement in relation to baby B, and the assumption was that it was a fluid filled sac and may bleed.
Third, we're already doing everything we can to ensure these babes are delivered healthy- worrying will get us nowhere. Wow, was that a rational thought? Amazing.

The only decision I made friday night was to continue taking 2 doses of endometrin per day. As of Friday, I was supposed to taper down to just a PM dose. After the blood, I decided to keep on with two doses over the weekend and call my OB on Monday to see what she thought.

I was up multiple times in the night to go to the bathroom and didn't see a speck of brown blood on any if the 3 trips to the bathroom. When I woke up for the day I did see a little more brown CM when I wiped, but absolutely nothing since then.

I am hoping and praying that was the first and the last of it...
