Day-by-Day, Hour-by-Hour

As many of you know, this is my "do or die" week. This time is far more stressful than most women's "2 ww" because this is when things have traditionally started to take a turn for the worse during all my past BFP cycles.

Each day - no, each waking hour - that I don't see blood, is a celebration to me because that's one more hour closer to "success."

Last evening I wasn't so lucky. I was doing fine around 3 pm, but while I was driving home I felt cramps and by the time I arrived around 6:30 pm, I saw some light red blood.  My DH and I still took our dogs for a walk, but I was in a state of panic for most of the evening. My DH convinced me to call the on-call nurse and they said exactly what I expected - "Keep off your feet and drink plenty of water."

Today, things are looking up again. Bleeding seems to be gone.

Please, please, please...let me get through this...bit-by-bit, hour-by-hour.

How do you girls get through this agony?

Hang in there - it's so hard I know. Any amount of blood or cramping for those of us who have been through all of this is so scary. Take care.

I can't imagine whats going through your head. It sucks to have that feeling of unease of unknowing. Hang in there, your doing all you can. Take the nurses advice and laze around watching movies for a couple of hours. Trying to take you mind off of the situation never works cause most of the time it makes you think about it more. I hope this is your turn to shine, I really do.
Im no expert but is it possible that it could have been an implant bleed? I've had that before around the same time line where your sitting right now. Keep your chin high and dont ever let go!

Like you said, one hour at a time. Focus on the baby staying rather than on your anxiety. Send it good energy and meditate on your big belly in a few months. Imagine seeing and hearing that heart beat. You got a little scare yesterday but tha's common. Call in sick - stay off your feet! Prayers are with you.
