Pregnancy Info HOME

Well, think I ovulated already the other day...and, we're not using birth control, so who knows. In any event, we'll try again. Also have an appointment with an reproductive endro guy, but not until feb. I kind of just want to go on progesterone as soon as I find out I'm pregnant again (which I hope will happen sooner than 8 months this time). Like you, I'm kind of afraid of my feeling states if I become pregnant again because my guess is that there really is no way NOT to be scared and upset. Losing a baby is such a trauma, and after my first one, I really didn't realize it. It was only when I became pregnant the second time that it was clear how scared I was. So, while I'm intellectually prepared, no telling what the emotions will be like. I was thinking about all the women back in the day when there were no HCG tests or ultrasounds...trying to imagine what it must have been like for them. Who knows, maybe it was better not knowing all the possible complications that could be occuring. Of course, many ended up having health problems or worse, {yikes}--As for you and the spotting, you know that brown spotting is so common, the womb is stretching, there's old implantation blood, cervix is often irritated, etc, etc. so, don't worry about that. When's your next check-up? How are your other pregnacy symptoms? Try to do some relaxation things every day (listen to music you love, read postive books or poems, etc.). Keep me posted, okay?
