Still worries

Amy

I found out on January 22nd that we are expecting our little rainbow. I have miscarried my previous 3 pregnancies. I went in for my first prenatal appointment on January 26th. At that time, my OB/GYN ordered the full prenatal profile and a glucose tolerance test (I have a history or gestational diabetes), and scheduled my dating ultrasound for February 16th. About a week ago, I started cramping, so I called the office on Wednesday and let them know. He scheduled me to come in on Thursday for a transvaginal ultrasound to check everything. We were able to see the gestational sac (based on my lmp, I should have been 6wks 2 days) and said it was measuring 5wks 4days. He also said there is a small blood clot in my uterus, so I am not allowed to do anything strenuous or workout like I normally do. He ordered the HCG test. When I got it done on Friday morning, my levels came back at 12,362. When it was repeated today, they only came back at 18,138. He said that he is optimistically concerned. I am on partial bed rest, still not allowed to work out or do anything strenuous, and have to have it repeated again on Tuesday morning. He said he wanted it in the 24 thousand range, but that it did go up. I am extremely concerned. This is my last chance at having my rainbow baby. I have been doing everything I am supposed to, but I am still a nervous and paranoid mess. Based off the ultrasound, I am 6 weeks today.
