Almost 7 weeks

I'll be 7 weeks on Sunday and this Wednesday we saw the heartbeat at 6 weeks, 3 days.  I also have a subchorionic hematoma (pocket of blood in the uterus, abbreviated as SCH).  I had one with my oldest as well.  The OB talked the MFM (maternal fetal medicine doctor- high risk pregnancy specialist) and they decide to go ahead and start the Lovenox yesterday.  I had to go get a CBC (complete blood count) and clotting factors drawn before starting the Lovenox.  They also want me to go see my neurologist for a baseline so I'll be doing that next week.  Although my OB and MFM have concerns about progesterone, my NaPro doctors (who have the most experience with supplemental progesterone and have work with women with clotting issues) do not believe the risk of bio-identical progesterone is any greater than the risk of pregnancy.  Progesterone is also supposed to help resolve or at least keep the SCH from increasing.    I'll be seeing the OB again in 3 weeks at 9 weeks, 3 days for another ultrasound.  Hopefully the SCH will be resolving by then.  I haven't had bleeding this time since between 4 and 5 weeks.   My husband's grandmother died yesterday, so he'll be going to the funeral on the East Coast some time next week.

Red Spotting, please pray *updated *2nd update

I'm having red spotting.  No cramping or anything.  Please pray that Baby Blondie continues to be ok.

Update:
I have contacted my local ob and PPVI (both right after I saw the spotting) and I'm waiting for a call back.  My progesterone was drawn Monday and I had my PIO injection last night.

Follow Update:
I got an u/s.  The heartbeat is still looking good.  I do have a subchorionic hematoma.  PPVI said my progesterone is 28.4, which is still good, but it did drop from the 40 I had earlier.  They are going to talk to the drs since I told them about the spotting/subchorionic hematoma and see if I need to go back up, but they may not be able to let me know until Monday.
