TMI

So as the post title says, this is complete TMI, but since it happened I feel like I should post this. Like I said before, this blog is for me; however, after this experience, I know how quickly people look for people who have had the same or similar conditions to make themselves feel better. So that is what this is. Today, after lunch, I went to the bathroom. After a small bit of straining, I wiped. RED BLOOD everywhere! I got woosy, and scared! I immediately called my husband in a state of panic. The doctor, unfortunately, was a lunch. So my loving husband called another doctor to talk too. I kept going back and forth to the bathroom to check, and it seemed to be tappering off. Finally, a couple hours later, I received a call to come in from my OB/GYN. I went in shaking and scared. They immediately did a pelvic exam and said that my cervix was red and irritated. I was still scared. (All I wanted to know was that my baby was safe and sound). He pulled out this big, huge q-tip thingy which had some blood on it. He then pushed around on my stomach but said that my cervix was long and firm, which was good. He said that I had a (in his words) "yucky discharge" and that was causing my cervix to be irritated. (He said it was most likely a yeast infection caused by my progesterone pills that I have to take). He wrote me a prescription and pulled out the fetal monitor to find the heartbeat. I swear that was the most relieving sound I think that I have ever heard. I know that it was definitely the sweetest.
