Two By Two

I went yesterday for my appointment at the clinic that I've been going to for my beta draws and ultrasounds. I'll spare you the long bitch fest but I waited for almost 5 hours before they saw me.. yes you heard me right.. 5 hours. I was pissed. Especially when my entire appointment took 30 minutes. I got an ultrasound done and they saw baby right away IN MY UTERUS so I am 100% not having an ectopic pregnancy. They put my due date at 3/5/08 and my LMP puts it at 3/4/08 so it's pretty dead on at the moment :) My beta level from Friday was 2920 :) So everything looks good. They want me to come in Friday for yet another ultrasound but I am not going. They just want me to come in to visualize the heartbeating which is should be by then, but I see no point in going to them when I have a doctor I'm going to see and already have an appointment for 7/30. So there ya have it :) I'm officially pregnant and all that happy stuff. I'll be 6 weeks along tomorrow. WOO HOOO! The doctor told me that will the ultrasound and the LMP dates being so close together they'll just go with my LMP so my due date is set for 3/4/07. Who knows when peanut will actually show up though.

Started back to school Monday. I'm ready to be done. I don't like getting up and going and being bored. Today we didn't even have lecture in one of our classes. We haven't had lecture any day in that class and we've got a midterm on the 16th @@ Should be fun. I've got a final on the 17th in my other class and have an A in the class at the moment. I have 22 days of school left not including days off and weekends. We're very close. I'm ready to be done.

I went this morning for the second draw of my beta levels and a follow up ultrasound. With the beta levels we were looking for them to double. At this stage of pregnancy the HcG in your blood should double every 48 hours. My draw Sunday night/Monday Morning was 553 today's draw was...... 1323!She says that's GREAT! That means they are doubling approximately every 43 hours.

Then we did the ultrasound. She still didn't see a gestational sac in my uterus but thought she saw the start of one there. She was able to get a better look at the "atypical formation" on my right ovary and she says it's the size of a gestational sac but there is no yolk sac in it and she can clearly see that it's a hemmorhagic corpus leutus cyst. She says I have another smaller one on my left ovary as well. She would rule out ectopic pregnancy yet but mainly because she hasn't visualized a gestational sac in my uterus yet. She said that she saw what you would expect to see. She wants to me to come back for another draw on Friday morning and another ultrasound. By then my numbers should be well over 2000 and by that amount you should definately be able to see a gestational sac.

Other than that.. things look good. I'm anemic so I've been started on iron supplements and the dreaded prenatals. I'm ready to be done with the every 2 day thing and go to the montly appointments.

So there is a possiblity that this pregnancy might be ectopic.

I woke up yesterday morning about 3am and started puking.. Spent all morning puking on on the toilet ( I know TMI) and by the afternoon I had a 102 fever and pain radiating through my back and my left side so I decided to get checked out. I was severely dehydrated from my wonderful morning so I got 2000ml of fluid and some Zofran (anti-nausea meds) and they did a UA (surprise it came back pregnant) and blood work (Beta HcG levels). My Beta came back at 550. Which is a good number for how far along I am. They did an ultrasound and couldn't find a gestational sac in my uterus but they said it could still be too early. They found some sort of "atypical" formation in my right ovary. They said that it could be some sort of cyst or could be the beginning of a gestational sac (or an ectopic pregnancy). Being as such I have to go back to get HcG levels tested again on Wednesday as well as a repeat ultrasound to make sure the numbers are going up like they should be and to see if they can see anything in my uterus yet.

Meanwhile they sent me home with information on the stomach bug and a Rx for Phenegran for nausea. I'm taking the Phenegran around the clock and feel MUCH better today. Will update on Wednesday.
