Oh my god kit! u poor poor thing what a day.. but u shld be so happy with the outcome.. i think u shld take a few days off work and lie down. When i started bleeding thats what everyone (my mums friends, my friends, doctor) told me to do.. unfortunatly it didnt help for me.. mine was already gone, but urs is all good with a heart beating!! yay!! I have done some research and they say when u wld normally be getting af it is quite normal to bleed.. apparently some of the lining that the sac etc isnt attached too can still shed.. a doctor suggested that this was happening when i started bleeding at just over 8 weeks.
I honestly think u will be fine.. like forshelby said.. everything is all good - theres a heartbeat and ur hcg levels are going up.
Oh this is bringing back so many scary/ painful moments.. i remember feeling like my world was crashing down when i first spotted blood.
I hope this is ur only scare for ur whole pregnancy.. get it out of the way now!! Dont u wish that we werent all ttc as hard as we are.. imagine finding out we are pg at like 8 - 10 weeks like a lot of other women do, it wld be so much easier and the 12 week mark wld come so much quicker.
I reckon u shld defintely go for the scan on friday, i dont understand why the midwife wld say no??? Golly gosh i think ill be wanting a scan every week!
Try and relax and focus on the fact that U SAW UR LIL TIGERS HEARTBEAT TODAY!!! WOOHOO!!
Good luck kit, you'll be right though, just lay back and relax for a few days x
oh by the way did u ever get ur progesterone levels checked? were they all good?

Forshelby- Woolworths sells Forelife Opk's.. they are just near the hpts and condoms etc. Or i got some off the internet, they are called David Ovulation tests.. maybe try googling it.. u get like 50 for $35 or something.. my friend got them for me.. u also get 10 hpts with them.. which is handy! Good luck!
