Yesterday I woke up and headed to the bathroom for my morning visit and saw a rather large clot of blood. Which, of course, sucks utterly and completely.
It looks like I'm having a miscarriage. My very first miscarriage, how exciting!
Sigh.
I decided that I wouldn't head off to urgent care to sit around for hours waiting for someone to see me and confirm it or tell me to wait and see. I'm just a little under 7 weeks pregnant and from what I've read, that would be the likely response.
Naturally last week I rescheduled my first obgyn appointment for a time that worked a little better for my schedule and my husband's schedule. So now I won't see a doctor until Thursday unless I go in to urgent care. And I just really don't want to heap that misery on top of the misery of knowing that this pregnancy isn't viable.
At first there were no cramps, but now, I've got cramps. Nothing too nasty that would indicate an ectopic, I hope, but enough to make me feel crappy.
Well, it seemed a bit too good to be true. More news on Thursday. I'm hoping this will be clean and won't involve a d&c.

ah shit
It may well be the end, it may also just be a bleed and the pregnancy is ok. As he immortal Julie once said, bleeding is never good, but it's not necessarily terminal either. I had a mega bleed at 4 weeks w J and at 12 weeks with P which turned out to be nothing but was effing terrifying at the time.
Hoping but not unrealistically I think....
