Hello lovelies!! I got a positive pregnancy test last week and have been cautiously optimistic.

I got my BFP on Tuesday (4/12) and then immediately started spotting/bleeding. I thought for sure that my test the next day would be lighter but it continued to get darker. I got a blood draw on Wednesday (4/13) which confirmed pregnancy. Thursday the bleeding/spotting turned brown and eventually stopped by the evening. Thursday evening is also when I started my progesterone. Another blood test was taken Friday (4/15) and my levels had tripled and all spotting had stopped that morning as well. I go for another hcg check today (4/19) and should get the results tomorrow!

I had experienced a chemical and miscarriage in 2017 when trying for our first little one (who is now almost 4!) so I am feeling a bit nervous and scared this time around as well. The bleeding/spotting the first three days has me worried about an ectopic, blighted ovum/missed miscarriage or possible birth defects/chromosomal abnormalities. Trying very hard to stay positive and not worry but as most of us know, that can be so hard sometimes.

Sharing my story in case anyone is going through or has gone through something similar. It’s always nice to feel less alone during these times 🖤
