Feeling Confused....
UPDATE - 3/22 p.m. - spotting returned this afternoon, so I call the doc. office and they said it sounds like "implantation bleeding" or from my internal exam and that as long it stays "brown" and not turn "RED" that means to call us immediately So, don't worry and they will see me on Friday. Feeling a bit calmer now.
UPDATE - 3/22 a.m. - awoke feeling much much better, lite brown spotting has stopped. I am at work and have attended an hour long meeting already for the day, so we will see how the rest of the day goes. Might still call the doc. office and see if I can push up my u/s for earlier this week.
------------------------------------------
This weekend's weather was absolutely spring-like here...yesterday 70 degree weather, opened up the windows in the house and did some cleaning out and reorganizing of my dresser. It felt good to organize stuff and put together a bag of stuff I want to donate to Goodwill. After doing that most of the afternoon, I became tired and decided to take a load off my feet and sit on the couch and knit for awhile. When I got up to go to the bathroom, I was (again, like earlier in the week) greeted by some very lite brown spotting on the TP after I went. I would say by the time I was ready to go to bed, it had stopped completely.
Now today, I woke up to it again and it continued to stick around most of the day. Again, nothing on my underclothing...only when I wiped. We made a trip down to see my Dad and ran an errand to Lowe's beforehand and got home later in the afternoon and I just wasn't feeling that great. I didn't really have a lunch either, so I made a plate of cheese, crackers and an apple and went into the bedroom with the TV on and ate. Felt somewhat better after eating, but decided I could use a nap - 2 hours later woke and the brown spotting was gone! My stomach has been feeling weird most of the day, on and off - not cramping like, but more like bloated and twinges here and there. I am continuous "burping" after eating things. So after my nap, I made a peanut butter and fluff sandwich for dinner around 7 p.m. Ate most of it and now having a half cup of hot tea because I feel kinda chilly - another weird feeling - like the flu. All these symptoms are so weird to me. I have read and re-read things in the "What to Expect, when you are Expecting" about symptoms of miscarriage and the main warning they give is cramping and "red" spotting, which I have neither, but it is so hard not to let my mind go through. I think I have definitely worked myself into a state of panic today. I know E sees it and he told me not to get myself stressed out, but that is easier said than done.
I want so badly for Friday to come so I can see the u/s and hear everything is fine and that all these things I am feeling are normal pregnancy stuff. Tomorrow, I will be 6 weeks and I am praying and praying that things are going according to plan.
I know I need to try to just not over analyze all these things I am feeling, but once you have been through a miscarriage, it is so so hard to not think something might be wrong.
Depending how things progress from here, if I get more brown spotting (like tomorrow morning or during the night), I am leaning towards calling my doc. in the morning and seeing if they can see me to hopefully ease my mind...we will see.
