I started bleeding on Tuesday. Nov 29th. Jarred and I went to the E.R. and I was afraid I was having a miscarriage. The dr. did a pelvic exam and gave me good news that my cervix was still closed, and after blood was drawn my HCG levels were at 327. I went in for an ultrasound, then saw the dr. Good news: higher levels than last week. Bad news, no baby on ultrasound, but they said it was too early. I was given instructions to get blood drawn again on Thursday Dec. 1 and ultrasound then see Dr. Donato in the afternoon.
Thursday December 1:
Went in for ultrasound then HCG quant. Tech told me I do NOT have a bicornuate uterus, it's just curved a little bit. Still no sac.
Dr. got my HCG levels. Up to 377. Not high enough. They should have doubled. He does not feel this is a good pregnancy and that I am going to miscarry. No signs of ectopic based on u/s but I have instructions to go back for another HCG quant on Monday and another u/s and to see the Dr. to find out if levels are dropping and where we go from here.
Thursday night was very, very, very sad. Jarred and I had to tell our family and friends what was going on. We held onto eachother and tried not to let go. We're determined to make it through this somehow.
Friday I was in a LOT of pain. The cramping started in the afternoon and continued to get worse as the evening went on. The pain was ALL on the left side and also in my lower back. I used a heating pad and took a bath and nothing helped until Jarred went to get some meds from my mom. Took that and slept much better. Woke up Saturday feeling better, still not passing anything. Same thing Sunday.
Today is Monday, had my blood drawn this morning so now I wait until this afternoon to see how things are progressing.
