Heard back from my doctor.......

While eating dinner last night my phone rings and we see on the caller id that it's my ob/gyn. I got nervous because he was calling me at 6:00 at home so I braced myself. In his words, 'You are pregnant, barely pregnant but pregnant, very very early pregnant.'He said my levels were good but wanted to retest on Monday since I am so early in the pregnancy. He originally was not going to put me on the hormone pills which I was thrilled about since that really proved my levels were good BUT when I told him I had brownish discharge that morning, he decided to put me on the pills to be safe.

I know I should be thrilled but I am still so worried. I notice today I feel like I pulled a muscle in my lower abdomen. Is that normal? Has anyone else felt that?

Sorry so long.

I have had that and am currently having it, it is normal. It just means your uterus is growing and stetching. If it gets really bad call your OB.

Congratulations!!!And the muscle on your leg is completely normal. That means that you need more calcium intake (milk or orange juice with calcium)..Lots of prayers for you and your family. On the other hand I got my period early this morning (my sons b-day). I'm happy but a little dissapointed. My boyfriend is being deployed in june and it would have been perfect (due date may 22nd if pregnant) to give him his 1st child before he went off. Wel I guess its not meant to be. Do you think I should keep trying or wait it out 1 more year till he's back..Lots of love to you and baby.

Thank you!

Sorry you are disappointed, it would have been nice to give him his first child before he was shipped out. I think I would probably keep trying. I wish you luck and let me know what happens.
