*Update* I Really Need Some Prayers!!!

I had planned on writing a post today about how great my doctors appointment went on Thursday and showing you some pictures of sweet pea. The appointment did go well, and I do have pictures, but that all changed last night. My doctor told me when I left Thursday afternoon that my cervix was really sensitive which isn't uncommon. She said that because of the pap she did I may have some spotting and not to panic. Well I figured the spotting would come that afternoon or maybe Friday morning. Instead I started spotting last night. Then the spotting got a little heavier. I prayed like I've never prayed before. Then this morning at about 4am I passed a clot. It was small but it was definitely a clot. Then I cried. I woke dh up and he cried too. I just know something is terribly wrong. Right now I am waiting for the doctor to call me back and dh is praying the rosary. If you could spare some prayers for us and little sweet pea I would really appreciate it. I'm at a loss right now and don't know what to do.

UPDATE:
I spoke with one of the doctors at the practice I go do. I must say she was less than helpful. Anyhow, she agreed that the bleeding more than likely had nothing to do with the pap. She just told me to get some rest and stay off my feet this weekend. She said if it gets worse to call on Monday and make another appointment for an ultrasound. I guess I kinda expected more from her even though I know there is nothing she can do. This early in the game it is totally in God's hands. There is nothing they can do for me if I begin to miscarry.

Fortunately to spotting has seemed to stop and the only clot was the one at 4am. I'm praying that it does not return and that everything is ok. I usually do my poi injections at night and I'm due for one today. I had dh go ahead and give it to me this morning. I'm not sure that that will actually help anything but at least I felt like I was doing something. I forgot to call ppvi yesterday to get my progesterone results. I'm going to call on Monday and maybe ask if I need some more supplementation. Anything to keep sweet pea growing!

Thank you all so much for all of your prayers! It means so much to me and to little sweet pea. :) I will keep you updated if anything changes.

  3. Oh my goodness I am praying and hitting my knees right now. Please keep us updated.

    "When I am afraid, put my trust in you." Psalm 56:3

    My soul be at rest in God alone, from whom comes my hope." Psalm 62:6

    "I will not leave you desolate; I will come to you" John 14:18

    "I will never forsake you or abandon you." Hebrews 13:5b- but in the orignal Greek it was a triple negative- the only triple negative in the Bible- written more like this:

    "I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake you, nor relax my hold on you, most assuredly not."

  11. Karen, also wanted to add that in one of my pregnancies I had what they called a "subchorionic hemmorhage"...around 6wks. I felt a little cramping and then all of a sudden a gush of bright red blood...then just a little spotting and then nothing...was on bed rest for a day or two before I could get in to my OB and when they did u/s everything was fine. Doc said sometimes you just have a little pocket of blood that bursts. Praying that is all that's going on!
