Hey ladies...
I'm home from the hospital... no conclusive answers.
The ER doctor looked through things and said it was WAY to early for an ultrasound (which I knew and tried to tell my ob/gyn).... he said the symptoms that I experienced today that ended up sending me to the hospital in the first place weren't all the worrisome when compared with my HCG numbers and their increase (which he agreed was slow, but still within normal limits). So... I'm continuing with beta hell.
I'll have my numbers checked every couple of days and I'll have another ultrasound next week to see if anything can be seen. So... I'm exactly where I was last time... this is absolutely heartbreaking and terrifying.
Me and DH have both agreed that for my own health and the health of the baby (if it's still okay) that I should take this semester off school and defer it until next year. I have certain clinical hours I need to have in order to graduate and without those I'm screwed... I've already missed 5 days, with more to be missed in the coming weeks... there just isn't any way. So, that is also devastating. I've poured 2 years of my life into this course and I love being a nurse.... so that's another thing that's making me upset...
But yeah, sorry for all the suspense for nothing... I hope your lives are all going much more smoothly.
