Been having some intermittent sharp pains/ dull achiness on the right side and since I was going in for bw this morning, mentioned it to the nurse.
US shows nothing. And by nothing I mean nothing obviously in my uterus (where there should be a sac visible by now) and nothing definitive in either tube/ ovary. I'm going to the fancy u/s (with the pregnant women, where they definitively diagnosed my m/c last year) at 11am.
Shit shit shit.
More later.
UPDATED:
Fancy u/s shows what may be a very small gestational sac in my uterus. Nothing obviously awry anywhere else and no sign of bleeding anywhere. Beta is 2199, so rising appropriately. So I'm pregnant, but we can't really find it yet.
Option 1- a perfect gestational sac shows back up on Thursday with a yolk sac and other stuff. All proceeds as we hope.
Option 2 - no sac anywhere/ sac shows up somewhere else. Ectopic dx.
Option 3 - gestational sac there but small and continues to measure behind until it's all over.
I'm going to hope for Option 1 and bet on Option 3.

Thinking of you and sending much love.
ReplyDeleteOh no. Thinking of you and hoping this ultrasound shows something.
ReplyDeleteCrap.... I'm so sorry and sad for you.
ReplyDeleteHoping for #1. Is it at all possible that your dates are off, and that you're not as far along? Really, really hoping for #1.
ReplyDeleteBy my dating, I'm about 22 dpo, or 5w1d. Plus or minus a day. But sac should correlate with HCG levels.... Sigh.
DeleteI'm sorry. Hoping you get better news at your next appointment.
ReplyDeleteP.S. hCG levels vary greatly, and because you conceived naturally, your dates could be off by as much as 5-7 days. Not trying to give you false hope, just wanted to point these things out to you. . . .
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's exactly true, about beta levels and sac. I've had a sac in my uterus at EXACTLY the same time dating wise, 5w1-2d, when my beta levels have been everywhere from under 1000 to 6000+ That is, a higher beta doesn't mean you get to see something sooner, though generally a low beta means you're not far enough along to see something...
ReplyDeletethis is gwinne, but I don't wnat to log in from work :)
Hoping so much that Option 1 is the one. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteTrying to remain hopeful for you.
ReplyDeleteMe again. Just wanted to say this is good, given uncertainty about dates and all! And two days can make a big difference in terms of u/s...with Tiny Boy I had a small sac at 5w2d (beta was probably about 1000?) and 5w4d had yolk sac and beginnings of fetal pole, as I recall. And obvious happy ending :) Breathe.
ReplyDeleteThere is a certain kind of hell in even average progress. It feels weak when the universe owes you strong, solid progress. It seems like awful advice, but prepping for the worst is what we do to protect ourselves. It is not over, and I will stand firmly in the number one spot. My thoughts are with you for that next scan. I take a ton of hope in Gwinne's story
ReplyDeleteHoping for #1. And for a clear answer soon.
ReplyDeletesending you LOTS of love and good luck wishes.
ReplyDeleteOption 1 option 1 option 1 option 1. Please. I think there's a ton of reason for optimism, but I wouldn't be up for feeling it either, so I like G's advice: just work on breathing.
ReplyDeleteWish I had wise words but all I got is a big hug and hope. Good luck and more luck.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping for option 1, too. (I don't get to comment much, but I am following along and hoping like a mofo for you.)
