bleeding :(

   So here is a little background information to get the whole picture. I went last Friday for my 7 week ultrasound and as you know we found 1 healthy baby. But we also found a pretty sizable clot, which they suspect to be where the other embryo attempted to attach but didn't survive. They said they would just keep an eye on it and most likely it will just reabsorb back into my body and not cause any worries. The clinic said it was common and they have seen it before so they didn't seem to worried but by the face that the person doing the ultrasound I got the feeling that it was bigger than they like and expect.
   So that takes us to Monday night, I got to come home from work early because we weren't busy enough and I climbed into bed at 3am. I was awoken at 4am by a gush of blood. I ran to the bathroom where I saw more bleeding than I have ever wanted to see. I started to really worry but knew that at just 7 weeks pregnant there was nothing anyone could do. I cleaned up and went back to bed to attempt to sleep. I had some pretty intense cramping and was really scared. But I was able to go back to sleep and woke at 9. I went to tell the husband what had happened and as I stood up from the couch more gushing blood. Again I really started to worry about this baby. I called the clinic and they got me in immediately. I was relieved that they could see me so quickly but know that when they put you on the schedule immediately it is pretty serious. I went to the clinic and had another ultrasound where they saw that the clot was almost completely gone, good news. But while I was there she saw the amount of bleeding and was concerned. So she put me on an additional progesterone medication and bedrest. But the baby looked good. And that was all I was concerned about.
   I went home and was happy to hear that the baby was ok and that the clot was gone but I remained scared that the bleeding would return. I followed her directions strictly and the bleeding has stopped. The cramping has stopped and I am off bedrest!! All good news!
   Tomorrow I am 8 weeks exactly. One more week till my last ultrasound at the fertility clinic, and then hopefully I will be cleared to go to my OB and be a regular patient. I am hoping that the bleeding is done and the only excitement to be seen is the good news of a healthy baby.
