July Jelly Beans!! 2014!

Forums New posts
So the second doctor (new shift) who has seen me is much nicer. He said I can have fluids and that it's absurd to make a pregnant woman go almost 24 hours without fluids based on a possibility. So I bought a bottle of water and I have one hour of drinking water time before I have to hold my bladder for my ultrasound.

But I also bought a bagel to take my hunger away. I hid in the bathroom to eat it. Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone.

Freckle is happy now.
 
I hope you get some good news Brandi, and I'm sorry the doctor was so rude!

Beautiful pic, Zoie!
 
Ultrasound is done and ER doc said that OB is coming down to talk to me soon. REALLY hoping it's not bad news. :(
 
I hope they're realistic and take how early you are into consideration. I have a friend who had a scan and was told there was no baby, she refused treatment and another scan now puts her at 6+6 with a healthy baby.
 
I think that sometimes with modern medicine we can find out too much and all of that extra information can make you nuts. Although I initially was bummed that with a normally progressive pregnancy I wouldn't have hcgs drawn or an ultrasound until 8 weeks, I am now thinking that this may have been for the best. I know I tend to overanalyze information and looking at how high my hcg levels were or doubling rates would have done me in!

I hope everything goes ok Brandi! But if they don't find anything on the ultrasound (which at <4 weeks is likely) don't worry too much. When I did my rotation in ob-gyn the doc I worked with refused to do ultrasounds until 5 weeks because it is very likely you won't see anything until then.
 
Okay weird one - is anyone else finding their eyelashes keep getting in your eye / falling out more often? I seem to be getting stuff in my eye way more often.
 
Brandi fingers crossed everything is ok!! Please let us know how you get on.

Zoie, fantastic scan pic!! I'd wondered if mine had a heartbeat by now and the fact your a couple of days behind me, makes me realise mine probably has! Eek!
 
I wish I had never gone in. Now I know I won't relax until I see a heartbeat. And if this pregnancy IS in the uterus, and does go to term, it will for sure be my last one, because I never want to feel this state of panic again.

So after the doctor came to tell me that the OB was coming down, she was 45 minutes late so I went to ask the nurse if she was still coming. She said yes, but that she was probably running behind and I needed to stay because my ultrasound was "questionable". Panic set in again. Keep in mind, I've now been there for 9 hours.

So the OB comes in, finally, a few minutes later and starts asking about the history, and when she asks when my LMP was, I told her October 15...and she got upset. The emerge doctor told her that I was 5 weeks pregnant!!! So, here, she's ready to tell me my uterus was empty and there was no pregnancy and try and get me to end the pregnancy!

So, it turns out she studied with the surgeon and fertility specialist who is following me, and she did say that there were some abnormal findings on my ultrasound, which is likely related to having the surgery, and that it's just way too early to see anything...but, we cannot rule out an ectopic. She reiterated to me that based on my levels, 16 on Thursday, 70.48 on Sunday, 112 today, that it is unlikely that it is ectopic and that I really need to keep a close eye on my levels until they are high enough for an ultrasound. She said that right now, all looks good, with the exception of the abnormal findings (minor, and again, probably related to surgery) and is falling in line with an intrauterine pregnancy. I asked what I need to look out for and she said falling levels, or levels that just stall, so on Thursday, my levels should be over 500. If they're lower than that, then ectopic needs to be considered again.

So, I'm not completely out of the woods yet, but I likely am out of the woods.


AND BREATHE!!!
 
I'm sorry you had to go through all that Brandi. :( But, it sounds like everything is going to be ok. Just dream of a strong little heart beat and you will get to see it in a few weeks.
 
Wow Brandi what an emotional rollercoaster you have been on. This is the downside to all the modern technology they have, it can cause so much stress and anxiety you wouldn't not know if it weren't for these tests etc. It is way too early for a scan, I am optimistic for you, I really am. When you are at home, have a nice long soak in the bath, candles, and music. Relax. I feel stressed for you! You are in my thoughts, :hugs:
 
Wow, Brandi, what a stressful day. :hugs: You're in my thoughts, fingers crossed that you have an ultra sound with lots of good news really soon!
 
Thanks ladies!! Gonna try and stay positive and look forward to Freckle proving the doctors wrong come July.
 
Sorry girls can't read for long or I'm vomiting, been horrible went to hospital yesterday for fluids just vomiting and nausea all the time, vomiting anywhere up to ten times a day right now. Scan tomorrow, only thing is boobs aren't sore and not tired
