I can’t believe how quickly you can go from being happy that blood HCG levels are fine, to less than 24 hours later being stressed by bleeding.  So yes, spotting thismorning.  I popped down to the medical centre that I seem to be frequenting regularly right now, and they squeezed me in even though they had no appointments available today.   I just didn’t want to wait and see what happened, particularly with it being a long weekend.  I guess I just wanted someone to say “just relax, there’s nothing you can do, what will be will be” or tell me what I should do if there really was something I could do. 

So the verdict was that my GP thinks it’s still too early for a scan…I’ll be 6 weeks tomorrow.  She’s decided to take yet more blood and continue monitoring my HCG levels.  I had a blood test today and will have another done on Monday, and I see the GP again on Wednesday.   She’s told me that if the worst happens and I do miscarry, she’ll refer me to a fertility specialist since it would then be 2 confirmed miscarriages and 1 suspected.  She also told me to stay positive, and that many women bleed and still have fine, healthy babies.  I know that, but it’s just that so far my only experience of bleeding is miscarriage, so it’s sort of hard for me to be positive.  Particularly when my GP says it’s a good sign that I have no pain, but then I point out that I had no pain with the last miscarriage. 

Why is this pregnancy thing so hard???
