Tight Rope Walking
Well, Garrett and I have only told our parents. But, we found out last Thursday we are pregnant again. Ok, ok, don't get too excited yet. I went for bloodwork (b/w) on Thursday and everything was ok. On Friday I went with Mom for an ultrasound (u/s). The dr. wanted to do this early because of the previous ectopic. Since I had one previously, there is a chance it would happen again. The u/s shown abnormal fluid on the right side again. The u/s tech. said that she thought it was another ectopic. So, Mom and I were pretty upset that it happened again. The dr. was in surgery and not in the office so, I made an appt. to discuss treatment that afternoon. I went into the appt. fully expecting to have to do the Methyltrexate shot again. That is was I had to do to terminate the last pregnancy. He said that he doesn't think that this pregancy is an ectopic. My progesterone levels were too high. He said that he only saw those in "sustainable pregnacies". He said that on her report she said that she saw suspisous (sp) fluid and bloodflow. He did an exam and said that he didn't feel any "badness". So, I have been doing b/w about every two to three days and seeing if they double. My first b/w (these are all the hcg levels that need to double) on Thursday was 87, Sat. -205, and Monday 392. He was very happy with those. I was suppose to go on Monday to see the next step but, the nurse just called and told me the news. So, I go tomorrow for another u/s to see if the baby is in the right spot. It could still be an ectopic so, I'm not trying to get my hopes up but, I don't not want to think postitively. So, it's a tight rope I'm walking. My appt. isn't until tomorrow afternoon so, I'll post the results on Sat. if I don't make it by Friday.
