I'm not exactly new here... I actually just couldn't remember my previous username/pw since it has been awhile since I've been on here...
Quick catch up:
Two years ago, I got pregnant for the first time, which resulted in a miscarriage. They were unable to determine as to why, basically just a chromosomal abnormality...
Last year, I got pregnant again. There was a whole whirlwind of stress as my boyfriend was in a terrible car accident putting him in the hospital, so needless to say of course I was there with him, non stop. I had begun to have some cramping associated with bleeding. Ironically being in a hospital, I went to the E.R. and they suspected I was having another miscarriage, although my cervix was closed still. My hcg levels had gone down. I was heartbroken. The following week they had continued to test my hcg levels and noticed they were going up, but not doubling as they should. Finally, after two weeks of doing tests, they did an ultrasound and realized it was a tubal pregnancy.
Last week, I found out I am pregnant again. I have been nothing but a huge ball of emotions and fear since finding out.
A week before I took the test, I was having some cramping, like I was about to start my period. They were very sharp, stabbing pains. Never in both sides at the same time, but never just on one side. It alternated sides, equally as bad. When those stopped, I had cramping in the lower, middle section of my abdomen.
Friday, the dr got me in early since I would technically be considered high risk. I am only 5 weeks along, but they decided to do an early ultrasound since I have been having the same pains I had with the previous two losses (both of which my nurse at the time said were completely normal as long as I wasn't having any bleeding associated with it. Which, I wasn't. And obviously the first two WEREN'T normal). They could not even find the sac, which she told me could be because I was still very very early. She checked my tubes to verify another tubal pregnancy, and could not see anything there either.
I have to wait until tomorrow to get my HCG and progesterone levels to determine where those are at.
Last night was the first night all week I have not been woken up at night by ANY cramping, and fingers crossed I'm hoping this is a good sign.
Even though I want to be happy and excited, and I feel this time is different, I really don't want to get my hopes up just in case. I have been a huge ball of emotions all week and I already know this isn't good for baby, I literally cannot help breaking out in tears sometimes. Completely uncontrollable. I wasn't this hormonal the last two times.
I just hate the waiting game.
