So I haven't posted much lately- super busy summer and been doing a lot of digital scrapbooking which takes up all my computer time! :) I do lurk a lot and keep up with ya girls! ;)

Anyways- most of you know my history- had a missed m/c in february. So far, we were just going with the flow- not really trying, but not preventing either. Well, I had what I thought was a period last week (july 19th start day). But I even told my sis and best friend that it was a weird for me period- no real cramping, lots of just brown eggwhite (tmi!) for the first two days and then what heavier red blood, but then just sorta spotting after that. We then went on vacation (I drank A LOT because I thought I'd just had a period) and had another day of brown spotting. I've felt under the weather a little- but just added that to drinking for three straight days! Oopsie! So, this morning I wake up and my boobs are KILLING me- and that was the sign that I was ku'd both times prior. Took a hpt and sure enough it was positive almost instantly.

I'm sorta scared about all that bleeding that I thought was my period! Anyone have a lot of bleeding and have everything okay? I'm thinking I'm gonna wait for a week- take another test and if it's still + then call my dr. I think i'd be about 6 weeks today.

Also- I take a lot of antihistamines everyday for terrible itchy rash/hives/allergies (zyrtec & zantac twice a day, flonase & benedryl at night) I've heard that you're not supposed to take zyrtec when preggo, but I'm not positive? Any ideas? THanks for making it this far!

Yeah, Benedryl is fine. I'm not sure about the other medications, though.

I would say the bleeding was implantation bleeding. Not to worry.

I would also make an appointment with your Dr sooner, so you can get scheduled for an u/s and get a definate due date! The longer you wait, the harder it is for them to give you a definate date based on the u/s. Yeah! GL!

Just lurking here but a great big Congrats to you!!! According to the paper that my dr gave me when I had my first appointment, you can take Zyrtec. It was listed on my list of safe medications that you can take.
