brown is good. very happy for you and fingers crossed. both times mine was a clot too. also called a sub chorionic hematoma (sch).. but mine went back to bright red at some points, and although this is more concerning, it turned out fine for me. best of luck!

in both my successful pregnancies i've had significant first trimester bleeding.. in my current pregnancy, it was at 6 wks. major gushes of bright red blood. with my son, it was at 9 wks and then i spotted til wk 13. it was very scary but worked out ok. i pray the same is true for you, as this is ...

leora, i'm so deeply sorry for the loss of both your boys.. words cannot express.. i'm praying for you and your husband; for peace and hope to hold your hands through the grief.

hi sue and everyone else!

sorry it's been so long, i wasn't receiving email notifications and just lost track of checking in anyways.... sue- WHEN IS your beta??? inquiring minds want to know!! i'd have to check to know for sure, but i'm confident our embies were day3 6cells.... so i guess you ...

oh SD, i'm so sorry that's happening to you.. how scary.. i know for me, things that would normally scare me, scare me much more when i'm pregnant.. i'm jsut more 'protective' in this circumstance.. so i really feel for you.. be careful, be vigilant, and get that restraining order happening..

omigod i feel SOOO blessed to read these responses from you ladies who relate! it truly warms my heart that i'm not alone, and that we are NOT all trolls.... it's just human.. i think i knew this, i just needed to hear it again. my friend who has school age kids said to me once "no one will ever ...
