As a follow up to my bleeding, I'm happy to report that all is surprisingly well! Okay, you are not gonna believe this, but the spotting continued up until this morning. My fertility dr. helped me get an appointment today with a dr. ive never seen. I was cramping pretty bad and refused to look at the ultrasound bc I absolutely expected the absolute worst. He turned the screen toward me and pointed to the flickering heartbeat and said "this is all we can see at 7 weeks to know if its good or bad. And its good". I was completely shocked. My husband said, "No way!" And leaned over me to squint at the screen. Very funny. He also took pictures of the printed image and is so happy and proud. He just kept kissing me! <3
I asked if the heartbeat seemed slow and he said no, everything looked normal. To explain the bleeding, he said its possible I have a subchorionic hematoma from implantation, which can cause a miscarriage if its too big, so for now its wait and see. I'm still shocked, and very grateful. I told him I dont have symptoms, but he says they should come. Of course we are hoping for the best. It was a very scary moment, and it still is.

| Comment from Hudson » Posted Jul. 8, 2013 6:06pm Thank you, Taye!!! I cannot believe I am on this side of the bleeding. the on call dr. much told me to wait through the weekend after my hour of bleeding, and I thought it was the end. I could not see this far into the future and cannot get that flickering heartbeat out of my head. I just daydream about that flicker. |
