The spotting has been making me feel even more anxious than I already was, so I decided to call my doctor's office and see if they could see me before the 14th. I told them what was going on and they were able to see me today! What a relief.
They checked me for ectopic pregnancy, which it does not appear to be, and then they called me in for an ultrasound tomorrow morning to double-check that and to establish heartbeat. I was told to take 5mg of folic acid (folate), so that's 4 pills on top of the 1mg I already get in the pre-natal vitamins. It seems like a lot, but I have already researched it a little to see if there is any side effect. Doesn't seem to be.
Ironically, the examination has made me bleed a little more tonight, and apparently that's normal also. Tomorrow will be great. I will feel reassured with an ultrasound. Then I still have my Valentine's Day appointment.
