congratulations! :)
Endo first to make sure blood sugars are optimised.
Ob second - they can't really do much this early.
Make sure you're taking your folic acid.
You'll do fine!
Permalink Reply by Ashley on July 4, 2012 at 9:40am Thank you all for the replies. Talked to my endo and they referred me to an ob at the end of the month and will set me up with a peri. after that. SOOO just this moment I started bleeding--- how much is too much?? We told our parents like 20 minutes ago :( Any advice??? It's not like a normal/heavy period at the moment but something I would wear like a light tampon for. Thoughts?????
:(
Permalink Reply by Ashley on July 7, 2012 at 1:07pm Went to the ER last night after lots of bleeding and they confirmed that I miscarried at 5 weeks :( ....I guess next time around I will not have a day of freak out since I have practiced the plan of who to call and what to do. Thankful for the support and advice easily found on this page!

having an early miscarriage is also upsetting. Hope you are feeling better today. Unfortunately early miscarriages are quite frequent, but don't mean that you won't go on to have a healthy pregnancy soon.
I had 3 miscarriages between my first and second daughter.
Now you've been given the chance to plan and prepare for the next one! Hugs.
