Could also be residual cervical bleeding from exams and ultrasounds. It is a delicate flower right now :) just a bump could cause bleeding and there has been a lot of vag cam action.

Scared the CRAP out of me.<br /><br />I did my PIO shots while on my tummy on the bed. I'd contort a bit to get the angle, and shoot. It wasn't really all that horrible. I did end up with a few more knots that I got when my husband did it, but I think that was just because I didn't massage the area afterward like he always did.<br /><br />I'd go get a scan tomorrow.

I got seen that day because I could not manage to hold on to sanity any other way. The babe was just fine bouncing around like a little bean. If you go to the OB can you have anyone accompany you so you have a supportive hand to squeeze even if the hubby is not there?? *hugS* thinking of you.Aishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756390674173743871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-36968670338009974792012-03-18T22:33:59.982-04:002012-03-18T22:33:59.982-04:00I'm so sorry you are having to go through this...I'm so sorry you are having to go through this.

First, I'm of the opinion that this i...Oh, Mo. First, I'm of the opinion that this is likely nothing (suppositories + Lovenox seem like a recipe for spotting, no?), and also of the opinion that walking Moxie isn't going to make any difference whatsoever. That said, I'd absolutely hope you do whatever you can to feel as unflummoxed as possible (still flummoxed, I know), including hire a dog walker. <br /><br />For whatever it's worth, I did my own PIO and found it easier than getting help from my DH and really not very difficult. I would sit on a stool or arm-rest-less camping chair ... something shortish that I could sort of squat over as this seemed to allow maximal relaxation of the relevant muscles and thus, minimal pain, and honestly the biggest problem I had was cramps in my abdomen/arms from sort of twisting around to see what I was doing. And once the needle pierced my skin that was the one "ouch" and it was all pain-free after that (honest). I know this isn't the typical PIO experience but FWIW it was mine (I found the Lupron/stims harder than the PIO, no joke). I'll keep you in my thoughts and hope you find it just as easy -- and of course hope that you'll be able to post a positive update soon.Alexicographernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-11397185633795641352012-03-18T22:03:32.720-04:002012-03-18T22:03:32.720-04:00Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!Carrie1074https://www.blogger.com/profile/09211829060766345472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-4668984150270245342012-03-18T22:00:53.229-04:002012-03-18T22:00:53.229-04:00For what it's worth, I had bleeding throughout...For what it's worth, I had bleeding throughout the first trimester and all was fine, but I understand that your history does not lend itself to reassurance just because of other women's experiences.<br /><br />Hope you can find something to ease your worries this week.
