Am I on a Soap Opera???

Alright, I feel like I've been on a rollercoaster this week!!! Ahh!!! This has been seriously one of the CRAZIEST weeks!

I'll skip to the point of the story I'm about to tell and announce that I'M STILL PREGNANT!!!

I know, I know. "I'm pregnant!" "I'm not." "I'm pregnant?" It's been an insane week. On Wednesday I bled and cramped for about 3 hours, and then spotted a little bit and cramped a little bit the rest of the afternoon. The next day (yesterday) I woke up feeling great and didn't have even the slightest bit of blood or cramping the entire day! I starting getting really confused (and impatient for it to just happen), and called the Dr and read about things all day. All the nurses I talked to said I was miscarrying and the rest would come soon, so I braced myself. There were some things online that I read that said that 20-30% of women bleed during pregnancy and 50% of those still carry the baby to term. I didn't want to have any hope, though, considering that things were pointing to a miscarriage. Then today when I woke up feeling great again I called the Dr and the nurse said my Dr wanted to see me. So I hustled to the Dr, peed in a cup, and waited in the ultrasound room for my Dr. When he came in he told me my test was positive and then asked me a lot of questions to see what was going on. Then he told me from what I described it sounded to him like there is still a possibility I didn't miscarry. So we did an ultrasound and I got to see the sac and baby perfectly in place!!! :D My Dr said everything looks like it should at 5 weeks, and there's no sign that I've started to miscarry. He said that from what I described and how far along I am it was implantation bleeding! :0 I thought implantation bleeding would be more like spotting, but I had a lot of bright red blood! I have an appt for another ultrasound next week to hear the heartbeat (it was a bit to early to hear the heartbeat today) and make sure things are still ok, but at this point I have as high of a chance of miscarrying as anyone! YEA!!!!!!

Soooo, THANK YOU for all the love and support we've had through all of this! It really means a lot to us! This has been an emotionally draining week, I tell ya. One day we're pregnant, one day we think we're miscarrying, and today I find out I'm stll pregnant after all! I just hope there isn't more drama to come. I feel very blessed, and even though I wasn't starting to miscarry after all, I feel like our baby was saved, which just makes me treasure the little raisen inside me even more! Keep growing healthy little one!!!
