I don't want to get my hopes up though, just in case something bad happens again. I think I'm going to wait for another week or so before going to my ob for a test. Send me good thoughts that this pregnancy sticks!!
::: Yeah!!

may I suggest NOT going to the OB that gave you the shoddy advice? Or maybe do go see him after you deliver and gracefully laugh in his face!

well, i will be looking for a new ob because we have moved 2 hours away from the old one. unfortunately, i have had some spotting this evening so the visit likely won't be an exciting one.

as long as the spotting is light and there is no cramping with it you are totally normal! Get thee to a midwife!!

I'm still optimistic, but it's really hard because my first miscarriage was just so devastating and ended up being such a long and drawn out process that I would rather just know now. KWIM? I am only about 20 dpo. Can an u/s show anything at this early date to let me know whether or not I've lost the baby?

I can understand your anxiety

Have you checked out the pregnancy after a loss forum?

well that would make you 7 wks, and the drs. look for heart beats at 8 wks. I think that if you told them you were concerned they would listen for the heart beat!

Yeah you can still ovulate with a long period or a short period etc. If you chart you will know for sure.

I tell you what I have a 28 day cycle and i surely ovulate, you know I have three kids to back it up.

As for long cycles. i have heard some people just have longer cycles and sometimes your body can hold off on ovulating if you are stressed or something.

sorry i didn't read the tread first. i will send some sticky vibes. If you have been moving I imagine there is a good chance the spotting could be just from that.

Well, I called my old OB just because I don't have a new one or a midwife yet, and they called the local hospital to set up some blood tests to check my hcg levels. I went in for the first yesterday and will go in again tomorrow to see what the change is, and then depending on what they see there she'll try and get me into an OB where I am to have an u/s on Friday to see what they can see. Hopefully the levels go up and hopefully the u/s turns out well.

Actually, 20dpo would be just short of 5 weeks. I'm not sure there's much to see until just after 6 weeks.

Congratulations! I hope your numbers are good and you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

Mine ran 28-37 days while TTC our son and I was getting all the symptoms of ovulation. The month we conceived him, I had a very unusual cycle (only 28 days) and it worked like a charm.
