Quick update

So I had my first dr appt today, just with my GP (who is awesome!). We went over previous blood work WBC, RBC and platelets all perfect, nowhere near being diabetic, very low cholesterol, perfect GFR (kidney function), all that fun stuff. Then we talked about my pregnancy and the bleeding. Quick rundown, there has been blood of some degree coming out of me for 6 days straight now. It started as a pink spotting on cervix check, then was candy apple red the next day and days to follow. It's been somewhere between light flow and heavy spotting, one kidney bean sized clot on day 2 and 3 little pieces of rice a cpl days ago. Yesterday after my shower (10:30am) I put on a new liner...minus the blood seen while wiping, the liner stayed white until about an hour after I woke this am. Assuming thats the shit that accumulated overnight, still no clots. It has since switched from candy apple red to a nice maroon colour. Still not touching the liner but very much there when I wipe or check (really gotta stop pokin' around in there lol!). I've had no pain or bad cramping, besides the blood, really no reason at all to suggest this isnt right. So I guess we'll see what happens.

She sent me for the usual prenatal screening and a BhCG. All results are being CC'd to my OB and a referral for an appt....she said it takes weeks to get into see him cuz he's so popular. My GF works there, I'll be in there long between 12wks.
The blood results take 2 days, so if I go tomorrow I can come see her Monday...I pondered that but when I drove by the blood lab, there were like 3 cars so I got it over with today. I'll call her office tomorrow, late afternoon, to make sure they're in and see her between 5-6pm to discuss the numbers. My scan is booked for July 28th at 12:15 then Braelyn's 1yr shots are at 2:30...so maybe both of us will be crying that day, who knows. All in all, I didnt get any solid answers, but somehow feel a slight relief. Omg the blood draw...fuck me, they took 8 vials. She just kept going. So after she puts on the bandage, Sandy feels fine...in a split second, Sandy is pouring in sweat, vision goes blurry and I'm ready to passout. I've never had that bad of a reaction. It sucked ass! They gave me some water and an ice pack, it took about 5 mins to get back to normal but wow did it suck! My arm is killing me. Idk wtf she did but it stings from needle hole down to my wrist...one straight line of fire pain.

So, for now, I am still pregnant. We'll see how the scan goes I guess!

Wishing u all, the best of luck with ur cycles! I'll still be on here, just not journaling as much...not that I journal daily anyways lol! =))

Stay positive, girls!! =))
