Our consultant has told me that the HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone which is produced by cells that surround a growing embryo) and progesterone levels were increasing nicely now from the 2nd early pregnancy test after the low progesterone reading 3 days ago (good progesterone levels are essential for sustaining a pregnancy), so that put my mind at rest a bit. But then I had a bleed a few days ago and she said I needed to take bed rest. That’s a bit difficult with a toddler! But we went up to my mums for a few days and she and Mr M have been great at looking after our daughter so I have managed to put my feet up a bit. It does not get any less worrying second time around.
