vGibs- I had to giggle at the image of you and your sister walking into your mom's office in beautiful dresses and wild hair. I'm sure the whole office got a kick out of it. At least your dad had the clothing down

I hope you find a solution to the work situation. It's hard not to be paranoid after all we have been through but 10 weeks is a great milestone. I think they consider a baby a fetus instead of an embrio at 8 weeks and the risk of MC significantly drops. I really think this baby is here to stay but we all have the right to have our freak out moments.

AFM-I got home yesterday and was pretty impressed with how Tim styled Penny’s hair and dressed her. Her hair was still wild but he managed to tame it and keep the hair out of her face with a pretty blue bow. She also had on a matching sweater with blue scull and bones and jeans. Penny and I both clapped for him to show we appreciated his efforts

I think after having losses, we are all paranoid now until we deliver that baby. I am finding it somewhat easier this second time around, but I still have my moments (especially now that baby has been kicking for awhile - and if I don't feel at times I worry). We don't get the joys of easy pregnancies, and being able to just go through them without a thought in the world, because we have had the unthinkables happen. It will get easier at some point for you though and you will be able to feel a little more relaxed.

That is so cute hoping

I'm sorry to interrupt guys but I'm I the middle if a crisis.
Yesterday in Oslo I suddenly lost all feeling and control of my foot. They determined I have some nerve damage and "drop foot" but we don't know the reason.

Then I get home and have been noticing that I have been having some cramping on my right side and it's been really painful on that side when I pee. I also have numbness on my left thigh. Anyway, I got a smiley face last Sunday and for fun I tested today and got another one. I started googling away and people suggested taking a pregnancy test. So I limped to the store and it's fucking positive. Positive with pain on my right side, numbness on my left thigh, a normal period two weeks ago and painful urination.

I'm in the ER for the second night in a row in two different cities for two different reasons and I am so scared! I know it's basically classic ectopic but I worry they're do laid back here they won't even do an ultrasound. Should I say I might be farther along?? I'm 99% sure it's ectopic though.

Sorry for unloading- I've been waiting here for 2 hours already!

 

[LucyJ]

Oh Amy that sounds so scary if you think its a possible etopic I'd say whatever it takes to get them to investigate further. Thinking of you have you got anyone there with you?

 

[vickyd]

Amy did you share these thoughts with the doctors?? I dont know the signs of ectopic but the symptoms you describe ive had similar due to my back problems. My foot would go numb and the pain was located in my thigh rather than my back. Only the last year has the pain re-located to my back. I often get cramps but only since giving birth has urinating been painful and only when i hold it for longer... Im sure the doctors will not dismiss the ectopic worry if you lie and say you are further along! Ask them at least to do hcg, i think the numbers are either really high or low with ectopic.... Hang in there...Lets hope all the symptoms are irrelevant to eachother...

 

[pregoinnorge]

Thanks last night I didn't know I was pregnant so I didn't discuss it with her. I only took a test today because I had smiley faces 4 days in a row and they were still super strong. Plus the pain wasn't like normal ovulation pain. Google said test for pregnancy.

 

[pregoinnorge]

I am so angry. I waited 4 hours for them to confirm with a simple pee test. They said I should make an appointment with my normal doctor for blood work tomorrow. I even called them before I went and they told me to come right away. WTF. I am so pissed and I cannot express myself well enough in Norwegian to really voiced concerns seriously enough!

 

[vickyd]

Oh Amy that sucks...I dont know the system in Norway but cant you see a private doctor to get things done quicker??? I would think if your symptoms are so strong and indicative of ectopic they would treat you as an emergency....

 

[Dazed]

Praying for you Amy!

 

[Sparkly]

Oh Amy, thinking about you, keep us updated

 

[msarkozi]

oh Amy, I am thinking of you! I hope you can get some answers soon, and I hope that it isn't ectopic for you

 

[hoping:)]

Prego- oh no! That is so scary and I can’t believe the hospital won’t even do an ultrasound and have sent you home. I’m thinking of you and hope you will get seen by a competent doctor ASAP.

 

[LucyJ]

Amy Im so sorry the hospital sent you home, how are you? Have you been able to see/speak to your dr? Thinking of you

 

[pregoinnorge]

Thanks everyone. After pushing my normal doctor by crying in her office she sent me to the hospital and I was seen right away. Ultrasound showed a very large water cyst (that's what he called it) on my ovary and an empty uterus and no evidence of anything in the tubes. They took blood and I have to go back on Monday. He said I definitely was pregnant but probably miscarried already, but I think it's just hidden somewhere and he can't find it. Like behind the giant cyst or something.

It's such a weird feeling. As much as I want another child someday, I just cannot go through with all of this and miss out on the time I have with Ella. I already had to miss her bedtime routine and dinner, etc. I know that's not much but I am just so incredibly lucky to have her that I feel there is no reason to be greedy, if that makes sense.

I just hope it doesn't burst over the weekend...the water cyst or if there is a hidden embryo somewhere.

Sorry for only posting when I have news. That's also very selfish.

 

[msarkozi]

oh Amy, you are not selfish hun. You need support, and that's what we are here for.

And I understand you. I hate when I miss out on saying goodnight to Kash and normal daily routines we have together. When you feel the time is right, and if you choose, you will have another child.

 

[hoping:)]

Amy We are all here for you and I totally understand about just wanting to be grateful for your daughter.

 

[Sugarlove2]

Amy you poor thing, how stressful. i hope you get some answers very soon. What did they say the water cyst meant?

I felt the same way about another baby when I had the early loss last month. It's put me off trying again in many ways tbh. I don't want my time to be taken up with ttc and worrying about mc's etc. when I already have a lovely healthy baby of my own.

 

[pregoinnorge]

It just makes me appreciate her so much more!
Do you know what else was crazy? The doctor told me I could only discuss one issue today. She actually made me choose between my paralyzed foot and a possible ectopic! WTF!?!?!

 

[hoping:)]

Amy, that is crazy! So you have to make a separate appointment for your foot?! I hope everything gets straitended out ASAP. Do you know what your HSG is?

 

[LucyJ]

Amy you're not selfish we are all here for you.

Thats crazy about your dr wtf is that about. The way some drs deal with things (or not as the case may be) amaze me.

I really hope its not an etopic. Did the dr say what would happen with the cyst?
