oooh - a small scare!

I went to the doctor today about my continual spotting, and she said there are hundreds of reasons it could be, and to rule out ectopic pregnancy that I could have an ultrasound. I'm pretty sure i don't want to have a scan so soon - and I am fairly confident I am not having an ectopic. I spent all day investigating it online and I don't have the symptoms (apart from the spotting, but its not bleeding which would be more dangerous).

I've also gone back to my med school books from last year and decided what I am experiencing is decidual cells from the rich juicy endometrial lining - caused by a very vigorous embryo burrowing into me! Since I have no pains or cramps, i think i'll pass on the ultrasound and wait and see....

But, maybe i'm starting to get a slightly bigger tummy! Not that anyone would notice yet, but it feels bigger to me. And in other interesting bodily functions news, normally my urine is bright yellow from all my vitamins, but by the afternoon now it is quite clear - which I think indicates that my vitamins are rapidly being used up for baby making purposes!
