I had the US and saw nothing. Nothing at all. The US tech didn't even believe I was pregnant anymore (though my betas said I was). I had bright red blood and lots of clots for the entire first trimester. I can't tell you what is going to happen, of course. But it is possible to bleed a lot and pass clots (which you aren't experiencing right right) and remain pregnant. It is so early that I just fear an US will only make you feel worse and not better, but I know why you feel like you have to have one. I felt the same way.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368587018481370633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145084082738588532.post-13742850984587845732009-02-23T16:06:00.000-05:002009-02-23T16:06:00.000-05:00That's right.

That's still a very good number.<BR/><BR/>I know it's hard to be optimistic. I'd have a glass or bottle of wine for you, but I can't either. I'll be waiting anxiously for your update tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Big hug, girl!Dorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255190971670471758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2145084082738588532.post-37397662966368743862009-02-23T15:49:00.000-05:002009-02-23T15:49:00.000-05:00Gawd limbo land sucks.
