An update

I called Dr. Carlos, the molar pregnancy specialist, and told the nurse what was going on. She went to tell him and he picked up the phone. That's why I love him so much, he always takes the time to talk to his pacients personally. I hate speaking with the nurses, particularly this one, who is very sweet but is 60 years old and clearly knows nothing of obstetrics.

Anyway, he said as long as the spotting is brown and scarce and I'm not in pain, as far as he can tell it's normal and there is nothing we can do but wait. I am not far along enough in the pregnancy that anything would be visible in an ultrasound yet. If the spotting increases, turns bright red and/or I start cramping heavily then I should go in. He is there every weekday and I can just show up without an appointment and he'll do a quick ultrasound. I really love this man!

So the plan is basically the same. We wait and see and if nothing changes I go in on the 4th for an ultrasound. By then, if everything is ok, we will probably see a heartbeat. I am not very hopeful at this time and I hate not being able to do anything about it.
