Barbara- thinking of you. Just rest, rest, rest. It is all you can do at this moment. I have seen many posts about bleeding that turned out fine.

Patricia- beautiful pic! I am so happy for you!

Barbara-don't worry too much yet (easier said that done) I've heard that many many IVF pregnancies bleed in the first few months. It is pretty much seen as normal - so hopefully that is all it is.

Cathy - thanks for answering me. I was just curious b/c a lot of doctors seem to "require" c-sections solely b/c it is an ivf pregnancy and this seems ignorant to me...so I wanted to make sure that you had reasons and that you talked about it. Sorry if it was kinda personal:-)

I have to run. My friend just had a baby girl and I have to go see her in the hospital. I've had some struggles with her b/c she doesn't understand what I am going through at all and is very insensitive to it, but I still have to go and see the baby and congratulate her...and give her a gift so that I can then avoid driving to her house for a few months, maybe:-)

No I am not taking any suppositories, just progestrone pills & shots. Today I slept later then usually and I didnt take my shots until 3hrs later Do you that could have caused it? I know I am grasping at straws now.

Kate -Sue - Thank you..

Barbara- I am that everything is fine!

I called the dr. and they said that break through bleeding is normal and to just continue on my calendar schedule. No it is not a full flow just bleeding here and there and it is always dark, so the dr. said not to worry But when do i start counting my real cycle? as soon as i see fresh blood? tomorrow is my last day of BCPs.

Leanne- I get so confused too about when my first day of AF is. I took my last pill last night, and it "seems" like I am starting AF today. But I will wait until it seems full force- I only needed a pad all week for the spotting.
Today I put in my diva cup and I will see if it actually fills or just spots still.

Leanne and Kate

I was told that AF after BCP was full flow and consider it day 1 of cycle if it was before 6p.m. after 6p.m. the next day was considered day 1. Clear as mud? ha ha

Leanne - I'm glad you called your RE and everything is normal.

Patricia - Great picture!! I'm thrilled for you!

Barbara - Try not to stress too much; as the other ladies stated - spotting is not uncommon... keep us posted. Just as a side note - I visited your son's web site - he is a beautiful angel!

Sue - I'm glad Sherman is doing better! Good luck with the visit - it will be a tough one.

Kate - I'm so glad you are back in the swing of it with the rest of it!! All of the shots and headaches will be worth it!!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Liza - Thank you, Your right, but seeing it is so scary. I am just believing in my faith.

My dh said maybe I have been doing so much all week and I need to take it easy. He is so cute trying to cheer me up.

I sent him out to get me ice cream with caramel & nuts.( I really like it lately, I try not to cave sometimes but I figured I need it right now)
I dont really like ice cream so I think he thinks he is helping me by getting me it...

Enjoy your ice cream, Barbara. That is sweet of NYFD to go get it for you.

Dude ran out today to get me tylenol, tylenol PM, and potato chips. He's a sweetie too.

Jamie, I wish I enjoyed football. I would love to eat nachos and watch the games on Sundays. Uh... why do I always make everything about food? Anyone else?
