Title: Frustrated & Scared
Category: stressed
Blog Entry: Well, today I had my first OB appointment and it did not go as well as I was praying it would. A couple of days ago, I had a little bit of brown discharge when I wiped, so I got a little concerned. It cleared up by yesterday and only had a tiny bit last night. This morning, as I was in the ladies room at the doctor's office, giving a sample, I noticed some blood when I wiped. This immediately made my nerves on edge. I went in to the room, and told the dr. that I just had spotting and with my history, I am really scared. She did a vaginal ultrasound, and it was as I feared, no heart beat. On the plus side, the baby is measuring exactly what it should be, and is in fact a day ahead (I am 7 weeks 1 day, and measured at 7 weeks 2 days). She said there is a possibility that it is just a little too early to get the heartbeat, and appologized for not being able to give me a clear answer on whether this is a viable pregnancy or not. There was no blood when she pulled the ultrasound wand out, and I have not had any bleeding since.
Sooo...back to a waiting game. I went in to the lab to have a beta hcg done, and will go back on Saturday for another draw to see if the count has multiplied. In addition, I have a follow-up appointment for Wednesday to do another ultrasound. She said by the end of week 7 they should definitely be able to see a heartbeat if there is one.
I finally threw up this morning and have been lightheaded for a few days now. Both are very welcome signs at this point. I am just praying that the ultrasound was wrong and that this little bean is still growing.
Please pray for this baby to make it. As I know all of you have as well, my husband and I have longed for this baby for a very long time.
