After lying around all day yesterday, I didn't have any additional bleeding - not even brown spotting. So I felt good about that. Unfortunately, this morning, when I woke up and went to the bathroom, I discovered bright red blood (about 1 cc) in my underwear. I also saw a small clot in the toilet (sorry if that is TMI). I've also been slightly crampy. Because my doctor told me that I needed to notify her whenever I saw red blood, I called and left a message this morning. I'm still waiting for a call back. I'm not sure what she is going to want to do. There isn't much she can do. I suppose she can do another ultrasound, but it's not going to change any outcome I have (and frankly, I don't want to find out that the subchorionic hematoma (SCH) grew). I fear that this will turn into a miscarriage. I fear that I won't miscarry now, but will miscarry later on in the pregnancy. I fear that I will have pre-term labor before the fetus is viable (since pre-term labor is more often associated with subchorionic hematomas). I fear that I'm going to be on bed rest for a long period of time with nothing to show for it in the end. This sucks.
