Since Tuesday I have not had any more spotting by the way of red blood. I have had a couple of instances of a brownish colour when I wipe after going to the toilet, but nothing bad enough to go on a pad etc.
I have begun to in the last day or so feel not so good on and off most of the day now, rather than just in the evenings like pretty much all of last week.
On Friday morning we had a scan with my FS which revealed a embryo with a heartbeat that measured at 6wks 1 day. I was meant to be 7 weeks today, however taking into account my regularly long cycles, I probably did ovulate late and hence the embryo is hopefully right on track. My FS totally agreed with this, however said he wanted to do another scan next week just to check that it is still on track and growing at the right rate.
I was so scared having that scan, my legs were shaking so bad that it was hard for the FS to get a clear picture- one that wasn't shaking. My husband and I are so excited that this time round we got to see the little flutter of a heartbeat on the screen, although it wasn't quite strong enough to pick up the sound on the doppler.
We got three lil pics of the embryo, so on the way home we stopped in and bought two lil frames to put them in and have put one each on each of our bedside tables.
My FS advised that once they have detected a heartbeat you have an 85% chance of the pregnancy continuing healthily. Which at first I thought sounded like great odds, but its only really 5% more of a chance of the whole 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage odds.
Does it count that I've already had 2 from 2 miscarriages???? I wish it did!
I would give anything for this pregnancy to be the one that makes us a family and hope that whoever the powers that be that are in charge are listening!
