All is well so far

I was so nervous for my doctor appointment when I was 7 weeks pregnant -- I didn't feel pregnant anymore. I truly felt as though I had lost all my symptoms.

Well, things are going great. I should've been measured at 7 weeks 2 days (based on my ultrasound from the week prior), but I measured 7 weeks 6 days, which is great news. My baby is growing healthily and my doctor seemed very pleased.

I received my progesterone test back. Prior to taking my blood, my doctor told me that anything below 5 was bad -- that means a definite miscarriage. She likes to see a 9-10 progesterone level in her patients... and loves to see a level above 11. I was at a 9.4. My doctor is happy... I am happy. Let's hope this 9.4 sticks and all goes well with the pregnancy.

I'm so glad this appointment gave me peace of mind during my family vacation.

Still Scared

I wrote the previous post today because I realized I forgot to update this blog the past few days -- I wanted to get everyone up to speed on the pregnancy and what things were expected during it.

Today I am either 7 weeks or 7 weeks 1 day and I am really freaking out. The cramps have stopped. Since I started getting cramps, I've had them a few times every day. It reassured me that everything was OK with my pregnancy. My body was adjusting as it needed and things were running smoothly.

But yesterday I realized I had zero symptoms, including the cramps that I've had daily... and today I have zero symptoms. I'm freaking out. I don't want to lose this baby. The only symptoms I still have is that my boobs are sore -- but the more I think about it, I think my boobs stayed sore during my last pregnancy, after I had already lost the baby. I'm not sure I can handle another miscarriage and have been praying daily. I go back to see the doctor on Friday and am keeping my fingers crossed.
