2005-03-09 - 4:17 p.m. FYI, I wrote this on Feb 22, no excuse for why I am just now posting. I will TRY to update again real soon. things are still going well... Still nervous, still worried. (knock on wood) the spotting seems to have stopped, after hitting a peak Monday afternoon. As if we are not dealing with enough here, our dog Annie came down with some sort of infection in her ‘nether’ regions! Vet gave her an antibiotic and she seems to be feeling much better now. We were at the vet on Monday, actually walking in when I felt warm wetness and knew it was not good. I had NO CRAMPING at all, which I am taking as a good sign. I went right in to their bathroom and saw BLOOD, BRIGHT RED BLOOD! There was about a nickel size spot on the pad I had on, but as I would wipe, it got heavier and I panicked. I tried to stay calm for the next 1/2hour while we saw the vet. As soon as we walked out of the vet’s office, I called my dr. I first spoke to the nurse and explained what was happening (blood, but no cramping) and that it had been about 45 minutes at this point. She had me hold for the dr. The dr got on within a minute and was calm as usual. He explained (again) about the clot we saw on the u/s and how he told me this would happen. I explained that I knew this would happen, but didn’t expect it to be BRIGHT RED. He said oh yes, the blood in the clot was red (no clue how he would know that, but he’s the dr). He said it was probably either the clot or I was miscarrying. I said again that I had no cramping and he said that was very good. He said there is not rally a lot he could do and would know more in 48 hours. He did say if the spotting/bleeding continued or I got any cramping to call him back and he would see me Wed morning. Luckily, that ‘episode’ only lasted about an hour and then stopped. Even luckier, I haven’t had any spotting since. No cramping either.
