So I've continued my worry streak for the last week, as my lack of symptoms has been driving me nuts. Out of the blue, last night I started spotting again, dark brown blood. I called the after hours nurse, who advised that as long as I wasn't feeling weak and since the blood wasn't bright red, not to be worried and to just call my physician in the morning.
This morning, I called Dr. Nash and she suggested I come in for another ultrasound.
The ultrasound turned out well! 1.5 cm baby has a heart rate of 170 bpm!! Still doesn't look like much of a baby to me, but relieved it's still growing!
I then met with my physician, who said everything looks well in the ultrasound, but they had found a "clot" that was likely the culprit of the bleeding. She said this sometimes forms from the act of implantation and is not too concerning. She said this should just go away on it's own, but to take it easy for now. She said if it turns to bright red blood, then I should call her back. She also took a culture, six tubes of blood, and a urine sample...and I have no idea what they will all test for, but she said she wanted to save me time at later appointments and get them done now. Alright.
Well, after a night of horrible worry, I can rest easy again tonight.
So now I'm waiting for James to come home from work. The server crashed at work today, so he had to fix that before coming home. Our driveway hasn't been blown out yet either, so that might not get done until tomorrow. Welcome winter!
