I'm 6 weeks pregnant and woke up this morning to a lot of cramping and bl**ding. I completely freaked out but managed to get in to see our clinic. They did find a heartbeat, which was a relief, but the doctor seemed concerned about how much there was. I've been told to rest all weekend, and I'm trying to, but the stress is overwhelming.

This is our first positive pregnancy after trying for so long, so I'm doing everything I can to hold onto hope and think positive thoughts. Just looking for an outlet for my stress.

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if anyone can help me with this, I honestly think I just need an outlet for my worry/stress.

I’m 12 days post transfer. My first beta was 205 on 6/19 and jumped to 537 today on 6/21. But when the clinic checked my progesterone levels they were a 12 (I’m not sure the units they are measuring with but I am in the USA if that helps.) The clinic was concerned with that number and asked if I took my PIO shot before the bloodwork appointment or if I had taken it after. I confirmed that I usually take it at 9am (appointment was at 8am) and hadn’t taken it before the bloodwork. They said to stay on my normal dose (1ml) and they would test my progesterone levels again when they do my next beta test on Thursday 6/25, this time scheduling my bloodwork at 10 after I’d have taken my daily dose.

I’m just concerned that it’s so low and my next bloodwork test isn’t for 4 days. I can’t tell if I’m overreacting. We’ve been trying for 3 years and this is our first positive pregnancy test, so I’m a little on edge. Any advice welcome and thank you to anyone who took the time to read this!
