I don't even know what to do or say. I will start with thank you all so, so much for the prayers, well wishes, etc. It really means a lot to me.
So- the bleeding got much, much worse about an hour after it started. I mean, like, I went to the bathroom and when I stood up it just ran down both legs and pooled at my feet. I started passing huge clots- one was nearly tennis ball sized. Two I fished out of the toilet. I swore one looked like there was tissue.
I went to the ER in the morning. HCG was 60000 and just fine. Turns out they didn't check it Sunday (when I went in for brown spotting) so I have no comparison and that frustrates me. The ultrasound showed a baby in the uterus- unbelievably, with a heartbeat! It's heartrate is 185, which is a little high but let's be honest- I'm probably more than a little dehydrated right now. Baby measured8+2, was 8+1 three days ago and I should be 8+5 today, but the size discrepancy is not super concerning right now. They measured a 6 cm x 3 cm perigestational hemorrhage, but the bleeding (at least external) seems to have stopped or at least greatly, greatly slowed. I've never bled like that in my life for any reason. Not even after my miscarriage, or the crazy period that came after it.
Now I'm on actual honest-to-goodness bed rest until further notice. My doctor wants to see me next week and we will figure out where to go from there. Right now I am trying to figure out work/FMLA/disability leave stuff, and waiting for a friend to come over with a few things. I am really, really, really hungry right now, but all I thought to bring to bed was a bottle of water and some chapstick, so I'll have to stay hungry for now. I'm honestly too scared to do much of anything but lay here.
