Hi to all,
I've finally updated my CF male infertility website, <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.cysticfibrosismaleinfertility.com">www.cysticfibrosismaleinfertility.com</a>.
Many people were asking about the pregnancy, the ultrasound photo.... so I finally updated it today.
On a similar note, just to keep everyone posted, Mark and I made a trip to the ER last night. <b>This might be TMI for some so stop reading if you get grossed out by womanly issues.</b>
We had taken an nap in the afternoon and were going to go to the gym. I went to the bathroom on the way out the door and was bleeding. Not a drop or two, but like I was starting my period. It wasn't bright red but it wasn't brown either. I had some spotting about a week ago, but it was brown brown blood so I wasn't too concerned then, although took it easy and it subsided. So, we went to the ER this time because we were both very concerned. Usually one doesn't go to the ER for pregnancy related concerns, but I am not far along enough yet to go to the labor and delivery floor because there's nothing they can do for me this early on. Surprisingly the ER saw me VERY quickly (and they were really busy) and did some blood work and an ultrasound. We got to see both heartbeats again, no pictures because that wasn't the point of a this particular ultrasound. The doctor said the looked good, same size and he couldn't see any bleeding around the sacs and my cervix is still closed really tight so that all looks good. Apparently bleeding is really common in early pregnancy and usually doesn't mean too much, especially if there is no cramping or other discomfort.
I followed up at work today (because my "boss" made me) and they wanted me to take the week off. I wasn't jumping for joy over that because I get bored very easily, but it does make me feel better that I can relax and take it easy. So, i'll probably be living on the website this week <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> So that's the update. Everything seems to be progressing and I'm just going to take it easy.
Hope all is well for everyone else!
