Things Are Looking Up

Things are looking up today. The spotting, although it is not totally gone, is very light now. I continue to be a POAS addict and the line from this morning's test was much darker today than it was on yesterday's test as you can see here:



Of course, me being me, I have been researching the impact of bleeding on early pregnancy. It seems like there is bleeding of some type in about 25% of pregnancies and about 50% of pregnancies where there is bleeding will result in miscarriage. The risk of miscarriage goes down significantly after seeing a heartbeat. Those odds don't sound great, but I will certainly take 'em. After so many failed cycles, a 1 in 2 chance of bringing a baby home still seems pretty good to me.

Thanks everyone for your very kind comments and congratulations. I will post again tomorrow after I get the 2nd beta results.

I just found your blog, but I wish you such good luck with your second beta. I bled some too - so I know how scary it is. All my fingers are crossed.

I am currently 15 weeks 5 days pregnant. I had bleeding for the first 3-4 weeks of this pregnancy (from brown to bright red) so much that I was sure I miscarried. But at our 13 week ultrasound, one little healthy boy was growing away. Bleeding is nerve wracking, but you have a nice BETA, so I will keep thinking positive for you!
