Well girls it seems me & Renee seem to be in the same boat. I also started spotting red today and it was more than it has been. I dont feel crampy per se maybe a little bloated. Any way I spoke to the nurse who set it up for me to get another beta tomorrow a.m. I am sooo scared that I am losing it! I hope I get great news like Renee did!

So they told me to rest a lot, nothing strenuous and to push the fluids. Now I have to say up until that moment I had no idea all I had to drink all day was a decaf coffee and maybe 3 sips of water. I am not a big drinker at all. Do you think that would have anything to do with this?

I don't know about the fluids. But I think as long as the bleeding isnt accompanied by heavy cramping you should be OK. Good luck tomorrow

Keep your feet up and try to drink some more water.

I am glad you get another beta tomorrow!! I cant wait to hear it.!

I bet everything is fine Hang in there!

Oh Donna, I'm so sorry you're having this scare but DONT panic yet!! I was SO nervous for my beta today. I have already lost 2 babies and I am NOT prepared to loose another!

My RE said that as long as my spotting isnt accompanied by cramping, that I should be ok since my numbers continue to rise. I mean, this doesnt mean I'm out in the clear but for now I'm ok and I'll be praying that YOU ARE TOO!

I knew NOTHING about the fluids but I'm going to continue to drink up just incase. Keep your feet up and THINK POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be waiting for your post tomorrow and I KNOW its gonna be a good one!!

I had the same problem with on/off spotting...sometimes red, sometimes brown and was very worried. My first beta was moved up and subsequently had an early u/s as a result of spotting. Everything turned out ok for me. I never had any cramping so I think you are in good shape there. Try to rest and not worry. I know...easier said than done. My doc put me on bedrest for 48 hours and told me to take a week off work. Hang in there.

Hang on. Your beta tomorrow should be great.

BTW, fluids is one of the most important thing you can do when TTC and PG. A teeny-tiny baby IS just fluid. Hang in there and drink your water!
