24-8-2009 - week 11

My mood while writing this blog: really REALLY depressed

---

Where to start? OK, went for my first OB appt today. Hope for the best, expect the worst, right? Its been my motto since week 8. Well, today I had my appt, the doc did my pelvic exam, and again, said my uterus was right for 11 weeks, that my labs from before looked great, not bad like I was originally told, and that the first US that said I had a blighted ovum was inconclusive because it was too early. She was convinced there WAS NOT a problem. So she gets the doppler going on my belly, up to her elbow in my va-ja-ja, and cant find a heartbeat! At this point I am devastated-again! So against her own policy- which is no US until 20 weeks- she did one. In her words, "to prove to you there is nothing wrong!" Well lo and behold- I have an empty uterus! So she thinks, shes not sure- again! There is something there- some debris, a nonviable fetus- something, but definitely not an 11 week old fetus! But my labs went up, I'm still getting symptoms and my uterus is still growing! She is as confused as I am! Thats helpful. So here is her idea. We're doing a transvag US on Wednesday, did another lab draw, and we'll see where we're at! She says it wouldnt be the first time she hasnt seen anything and the US tech finds a perfectly healthy baby! ORRRRRR...... here's her second idea. Maybe, there always was a blighted ovum. And before my body had time to correct itself, I went and got pregnant again, cuz at this point I thought I was already pregnant so who's paying attention anyways. So my uterus is still the 11 week size because my hormone levels never dropped, but whatever she saw may be a 5 or 6 week embryo. Aint that some crap! Apparently this happens frequently....... I wonder, really? So now we wait til Wednesday, whats a few more days right? I've decided I will have a great big margarita waiting for me when I get home Wednesday! I have a feeling I'll need it!
