We have a heartbeat!!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts! Thankfully, the bright red bleeding seemed to just be random, and all is well. The nurse couldn't find any other areas that should cause any concern or more bleeding.

And, we got to see the heartbeat! I was worried it might be too early to see, and I would be left in limbo, so it was another big relief. I am on pelvic rest as a precaution until my next appointment, which is January 17th. The nurse told me to go ahead and be a couch potato for a while, too. I think I can handle that.

Bright red spotting.

It happened last night. Not a lot, but bright red. Obviously, enough to put me into a panic. I called the RE office this morning, and I am going in for an u/s after lunch.

Part of me is trying to be calm & hopeful, reminding myself that a little spotting can be nothing. It could just be caused by my cervix being irritated.

The other part of me is a mess. Almost preparing myself for the bad news. With my last pregnancy, it was the second u/s where we were told there was no heartbeat. I am so terrified of not breaking that streak. I am hoping my husband can get off work and go with me. I am afraid to go alone.

Any good thoughts would be appreciated.
