The bleeding gave way to spotting and cramping day after day after day. Waiting 10 days until our next appointment was excruciating! Every day felt like an eternity. Every day of those 10 days included spotting, cramping, worrying, praying, hoping. The longer the spotting and cramping went on the more annoyed I got with it. I begged it to just go away! I was frustrated and scared that something would happen to #1 if it continued as it had been. Luckily for me a few of those days were spent being semi-distracted by a trip to visit TK to do wedding stuff. I made sure I was laying down as much as possible, taking it super easy and not over doing it.
Finally, after the longest week and a half ever, it was time to head back to HRC and have our appointment with Dr. W. We went over how I was feeling and what had been going since my last appointment. The spotting seemed to have subsided the day before our appointment! We keep on praying that it will stay that way!
Dr. W took a look to see what was going on inside and there was our little miracle measuring right on at 8 weeks 0 days. Once again we had the privilege of hearing that amazing little heartbeat pumping away at 167 beats per minute! Dr. W confirmed that #2 had not made it. The good news is that #1 was not harmed by any of the cramping or spotting.

The appointment following this one is a biggie -- as long as everything still looks good and nothing major happens it will be 'graduation day' meaning that Dr. W would sign off on us and I would be transferred over to a good 'ol regular OB!
And of course I am still taking these every day:
- Progesterone lozenge: 3x a day
- Endometrin insert: 3x a day- Estradiol tablet: 3x a day
- Vivelle Dot patch: time to stick on a new one every 3rd day
- Prenatal vitamin
- Folic Acid
- DHA
- Fish Oil
- Baby Asprin
