Still A Little Worried

Friday August 6, 2010


So wednesday when I was at work around 4:30 I started cramping worse then I ever had. I grabbed my phone out of my purse and ran to the bathroom. it hurt really bad so I called my husband to see what I should do, he told me to try and calm down and wait it out, that it would pass... it didn't...I puked, and almost passed out because the pain was sooo bad, I started getting really scared so I called my Dr and they told me I should go the the ER and get an ultrasound to make sure I didn't have an ectopic pregnancy (my worst nightmare). My husband came and picked me up, and by then I was feeling a little better, but I was still freaking out. we got there and got checked in peed in a cup and waited, and waited, and waited. We waited 2 1/2 hours before the Dr even came in to see me, and all he did was listen to my heart and feel my belly, and said he would be back. so we waited and waited and waited some more, then they moved me to a different room so he could do a pelvic exam, they cam and drew my blood so they could test my hcg levels to see if it would be worth it to do an ultrasound. He did the pelvic exam and said my cervix was nice and closed but it looked a little irritated. My blood work came back after a couple hours, and my levels were high enough to get an ultrasound. Then we waited 2 more hours to get an ultrasound, during which the tech didn't say a word ( I was hoping for at least a "here is your baby"...nothing) and then waited another 1/2 hour for the dr. to come in and tell me it's not ectopic( really good news!!), but they had a hard time seeing the fetal pole ( the baby) and that could mean that it isn't developing ( or that i miscarried) so I have to go back tuesday to my regular OB and get another ultrasound and check my levels to see if the baby is growing. They also confirmed that I have a UTI which could be causing my cramps ( but my body is telling be something different). The only good news was that my yolk sac did confirm that I am 6 weeks. I am sooo worried that I have miscarried, and I would really appriciate any and all prayers. Thanks...
