Our little bean!!!

I can't believe I'm putting this but I have a baby growing inside of me!!! I can't believe it! I'm 6 weeks today and I went in because I had some red bleeding last week and some cramping and with me the usual case is miscarriage. I can't believe this is real...So not out of the woods yet but this is such a huge step for me! I go in on 9/1 for my next ultrasound and I'll be over 8 weeks by then so definitely should see more. The doctor said she sees a sac and she saw a little heartbeat!!! Surreal. I'm so praying and wishing this baby keeps growing and that heart keeps beating!! Please let this be it! I seriously can't take another miscarriage!

Pregnancy #4

Well here we go again...another BFP..

I took a test on Saturday morning just because I knew it..I've been pregnant 3 times before and it's the same everytime. Crazy.
I didn't even think that I ovulated this month because I had my progesterone tested on Day 21 and it was low. So I called the emergency line at my OB/GYN and the on call doc prescribed me Progesterone for 2 weeks. I had mild cramping on and off on Sat and Sunday, boobies hurt and some spotting which is normal if you are taking progesterone.
I just don't get excited about this stuff anymore. I won't believe it and see that it's real until I see a baby on an ultrasound. I don't look at what my EDD would be unless i'm asked. It just seems like it won't happen. Called my doctor this morning and should be getting my HCG levels drawn soon and probably progesterone too. I'm just waiting until that 6 week mark and I will start bleeding again.
I took another test this morning and the line is not darker than yesterday's so of course I'm thinking "nope this isn't it again..i'll probably be miscarrying soon."

I honestly hate this part...it's not fun for me, it's super stressful and it's never a good outcome. But, there's nothing I can do about it other than what I'm doing now with the progesterone and getting checked. If it's not a healthy baby, then it will be miscarriage #4 and we keep trying..ugh. I'm trying not to think about that but it's inevitable. Well, until next time. Not telling anybody (hubs knows of course) until way later.
