Pregnancy Info HOME

So glad I found this board. I'm 7 weeks and just found out I was pregnant this week. I've been bleeding/spotting off and on for the last 2 weeks and thought it was an irregular period so I let it go. I had NO idea I was pregnant, turns out I ovulated twice in June to me and my husbands surprise. I began experiencing some cramping and went to the Dr. to find out I was pg. My blood tests showed a low hcg level (1500) so my dr. started me on vaginal supplements 100 mg each twice daily. The only side-effect I know of so far is the nausea, lordy it's hard to function when I feel this sick all the time. An ultrasound showed a cute little peanut with a 129 heartbeat and a healthy looking yolk sack. I'm feeling like everything is going much better until dr. called yesterday. My progesterone was only 10.6 and for 7 weeks, that is quite low. I asked him if I have anything to worry about and he said that he'll feel better once we get past 8 weeks when the placenta takes over. I'm staying on the progesterone until week 14 as a precaution. It's so hard, I know exactly how you all are feeling. Every time I go to the bathroom, I'm looking for blood and just praying to god that I don't miscarry. I know what everybody says, you miscarry if something was wrong with the baby and it was natural, etc, etc. It's just a whole different story on this end of the problem. I'll pray for you all and keep the posts coming!
