After A LOT of blood at 24dpo, I had no bleeding for 3 days. I thought (optimistically) that I might be done… and then I started spotting today. My doctor said bedrest has not been shown to help, but that lots of rest was good. So I have been resting when I can, but I think I was just not taking it easy enough.
I’m going to go off my prenatal vitamin, which includes fish oil, (I’ll replace it with a different prenatal) and eat a ton of red meat. I hope it does not get any worse.
My HCG at 24 dpo was 10693—exactly where it should be.* Of course I continue to be nervous about the subchorionic hematoma, the developing pregnancy, and the apparent difficulty in finding a sac the other day. Never a dull moment.
*Here are median HCG measurements from Betabase. (http://www.betabase.info/) My HCG continues to double right on schedule, compared to the median, and is even a little ahead.
