I am new to this forum, but it is really comforting to see that I am not alone...My lmp was 1/10/05, but it was my first cycle off of the birth control path (Ortho Evra). I had some light spotting on 2/10 and 2/11 but no other "period" symptoms. I had positive hpt on 2/12. I have been spotting 2 days out of each week. It is very light, only on tissue. I have moderate ligament stretching cramping. My OBGyn performed a pelvic and stated that all was as it should be, but there was no trace of anything in the transvaginal U/S on 2/24. I have had two beta hcg tests (blood). The first was on 2/17 and read a level of 127, the second was on 2/24 and read a level of 893. I don't know what to think. My Dr. has stated that the numbers are rising appropriately, and I am scheduled for an ultrasound on 2/11 to take another peek. The thought is that because I became pregnant my first cycle off of bc, that I may have ovulated late in the cycle. I am EXTREMELY nervous as this point! 5 years ago I carried a pregnancy to 30 weeks, delivered by emergency cesarean and had a funeral for my baby boy, Kenan, a few days later. I just can't relax out of fear! Any advice?
