Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Dear Archie,
Thanks for answering my last question about the stomach pain. I took bed rest as you suggested and By Sunday I was ok. I started having little bit of lower back pain instead of stomach pain. Then again I saw little bit of spotting Sunday night (yesterday Night) and it was very light spotting. I took the cervical mucus in tissue paper it was in some what different red color. Then I again took the pregnancy test (Early First Response) after two hours and it came out positive.
Today morning everything is normal no spotting but still I took the E.P.T Pregnancy test. It also came out positive.
Should I worry about anything? I am going to call a doctor for appointment. I am taking prenatal vitamins she prescribed me before.

My Dates are
Last Period – Jan 30th 2005
Detect OH Surge using Clear Blue Ovulation Kit – 12th Feb (in the morning)

Thanks in advanced...
archie replied. Dear New York 121,
I understand your concern. If the surge was on Feb 12th then you may have been ovulated on Feb 14th or Feb 13th and with 3 positive test no question that you are pregnant.
Stay in the bed do not over do anything. The spotting is very normal in first trimester. In second trimester your placenta will move upwards and the spotting will subside automatically, this is why I recommend bed rest.

Yes you may call your Dr. and have a beta-hCG test done with your blood to know the levels and wait for another 2-3 weeks for ultrasound as the ultrasounds before 7 weeks completion often leads to confusion and in my view one must start looking things forward from week 7 onward as the developing embryo is defined as Foetus from completion of 7 weeks.

YOu are doing great and continue with the same schedule.

No you don't need to worry at all!Lower abdomianl pain, I told you will have in first trimester and some lower back pain also, stay in rested position.
