Well I am 10wks pregnant but yesterday, I had my first discharge scare, and I happened to have my progesterone level tested. My Progesterone is 14 which is stable for now according to the nurse, but I still have to take my progesterone shots until my new ob says not to, I was told that I should still take it until I'm over the first trimester. Just 3 more weeks! Anyway, yesterday, I was experiencing some cramping, more pain on the right side of the uterus, and when I went to the bathroom, while at work, I noticed some brown spotting. My ivf nurse said that I should contact my OB if it should turn bright red. That night, after I went to the bathroom and walked a few steps, I felt some drops and when I looked it appeared to be red that turned brown. I asked my husband and he said it looks more brown. I didn't hesitate to contact my new doctor and she told me not to take any chances and to see if I can have some one do an ultrasound tomorrow. My doctor put me at ease, and I spoke with my boss whose been pregnant a couple of times and she told me that during her whole pregnancy, she had spotting. I thought I'd change my mind about seeing the doctor today but I'm glad I did because I got to see the baby and it has 2 hands, 2 feet, heartbeat, a cute big head, like my husband's, and it's adorable. One of the things that the doctor told me today is that my cervix is closing up and my uterus has gotten bigger, ergo the cramping. So I thought I'd post this information just in case someone gets a scare like I did.
