UGH! (vent) OT For the ladies

So, I thought I was 6 weeks pregnant this week, but found out I'm not. I'm actually 5 weeks exactly today. I wouldn't have found out until 2 more weeks, but I ended up bleeding last night and got an emergency appointment with my OB today. Had and ultrasound done, they found the baby. So she sent me to the ultrasound place to get an in depth U/S done. The technician found the sac and the "baby" she says I'm 5 weeks along. She also said that it just looks like the baby is implanting moreso. I then get a call from my doctor and she said that I need more blood work done and set up an appointment for another ultrasound for next week. She also put me on bed rest and put me on medicine since my progesterone levels have been low in the past. I started that medicine tonight. I sure hope it helps.

My poor hubby though. He's been coming home and immediately jumps into the kitchen. He doesn't mind, but he's completely exhausted when he gets home. But, he likes to take care of me. ;) BTW... I know I've asked this before, but has anyone delt with loose BM's while pregnant? I'm wondering if my UC is having a hard time adjusting to this change.

Yep, I was actually flaring when I got pregnant. I had many loose bm's in the first trimester. But after that I went into remission and it was smooth sailing all the way thru my pregnancy. Are you going to find out the sex of the baby? <---this question is for both Sweetie and Missey.

With my first pregnancy my OB/GYN was worried about my progesterone levels, and had a pharmacy make up progesterone vaginal suppositories for me.

I was taking sulfasalazine, using rectal meds, using these vaginal suppositories, wondering if i was going to have to start putting meds up my nose, too....... lol

Good luck to all the pregnant women - !!!

Yay for your numbers looking good!

If you weren't charting (and therefore know when you ovulated), it's pretty common for your dates to be "off." The first day of your last period is only accurate if you have the "perfect" 28 day cycle, where you ovulate on the 14th day and all that jazz. Most women don't have "perfect" cycles.

Sweetie31105-Try not to worry. I bled through all my pregnancies. My first kid I started bleeding about 6-8 weeks and I even thought I was miscarrying and I went to the ER and within days I stopped bleeding. I had two miscarriages inbetween my 1st and 2nd child and when they check your HCG levels if you are miscarrying than those will be low. Mine were anyway.  I got pregnant with my 2nd and I bled than at about 6-8 weeks and we thought I was miscarrying, I wasn't and when I got pregnant with my 3rd, I bled also about the same time. I didn't develope UC until my 3rd pregnancy was about 5-6 months along, well this was when my symptoms started, I wasn't diagnosed until a year and a half later, I kept thinking it was lactose intolerence until I had accidents.

Try not to worry and I hope everything is okay.  My UC got worse while I was pregnant and I think I've been bad since because I didn't get diagnosed for a year and a half after my daughter was born. If you do miscarry than look at it this way, the baby had something wrong with it and it wasn't ment to be. I dought you are though. Good luck

That is a good sign. I'm sure it is nothing. Do you have any other kids.  If not maybe you will bleed alittle with each pregnancy like I did. My OB said that is a pretty common thing.  I wish you the best of luck. Good luck with your UC also while pregnant. I was lucky I got mine when pregnant with my last kid, I can't imagine having to deal with pregnancy and UC, but the kids are sooooo worth it.
