    @leksiL, yeah I am flying with my parents and still don’t plan on telling them. I also can’t take my usual anxiety meds for flying so all of this should be fun! I do plan to tell them we are starting with the RE again so that’s why I won’t be drinking. We’ll see how it goes.

    @jvk2012 I’m flying solo next week for work. No drinking and no anxiety meds. Kind of terrified. But thankful it’s only one short flight each way!

    @pirateduck I am so sorry you are in limbo and facing such a scary predicament. I'll be thinking about you over the coming days, and hope the time passes quickly. The 'not knowing' part is the worst. Hugs and love to you!

    Thanks!  I really thought once we got to this stage we'd have answers, but I guess not everyone sees what they need to on such an early ultrasound.  I was so nervous about this first visit and hoping it would set my mind at ease about the whole pregnancy, but it did quite the opposite.  I hope all you ladies have nothing but good news at your upcoming appointments, this is dreadful.

    *Trigger Warning* Tentatively checking in, and sorry for the novel I've written haha.

    EDD/W+D: 7w1d

    Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding Out

    Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry

    Upcoming appts: So, monday I had the follow up from my ER visit, but they couldn't actually tell me anything new. They had to send me out of office for the blood test (I thought the best high risk office in the county, that's attached to a major hospital no less, would be able to do blood tests in house) and they scheduled me for an ultrasound today. I don't even know if they'll tell me what they find on the US yet, because I'm not scheduled to meet with the dr again until friday. They say it's still 50/50, but after what my body has gone through the last week, I'm thinking more like 95/5 that it's over. 

    How are you feeling?: Stressed, I just want to know what's going on. And I'm having this weird new symptom where my skin hurts to the touch. It's on one leg from the knee up to my waist. Even just my clothes or a blanket touching my skin, feels like I'm being stabbed. I was in tears last night because of it. But I read that it can be associated with migraines and I had to go off my migraine meds when I found out I was pregnant, so that could explain it. But it is NOT fun. 

    Rants/Raves:
    Rant- This just isn't how I pictured this pregnancy going, but I suppose no one does.
    Rave- We have told a couple people what is happening, and they've been super helpful. My mom has brought me a few things and she's watching my girls so I can go to the appt without them today (they don't know, although last night my 2 year old said 'mommy, maybe you'll feel better when the baby is out of your tummy' and that freaked me out. I asked her where she got that idea and she just started making up stories. They've been playing with their baby dolls a lot lately so idk.) And a close friend of ours is bringing us dinner tonight, so at least I don't have to worry about cooking. 

    Questions: n/a

    @SheHulk723 I am sooooo sorry.  This is terrible.  Trust me, I know how you feel.  This being in limbo is terrible.  I'm terrified of what my body will do next.  I want to move on, whether it's to be able to finally be excited about pregnancy or to be able to try again if this isn't to work out.  I fear my chances of miscarriage are higher than my chances of a healthy pregnancy.  I don't really know if that's true, but that's what I think and I have been beside myself.  Please keep us updated.  You do not need to feel alone right now.  I'm glad you have some help at home.  xoxo.

    Also I know what you mean about quitting the migraine meds.  I also suffer migraines and lots of various headaches in general.  Not being able to take anything is a drag.  I have had a headache for over 24 hours now and it's just been getting worse instead of better.

    @pirateduck Thank you for checking in <3 So, I had the follow up appt today. The doctor I met with told me my hcg had gone from 769 to 889 over the course of 1 week, which is not indicative of a viable pregnancy. And the ultrasound showed, what she believes is a blighted ovum. She recommended the pill to finish everything. Then she did an internal check and my cervix in closed, and I'm still turning a positive pregnancy test. So she double checked things with the attending. Since this is a wanted pregnancy, the hcg level did rise, and the gestational sac is only barely on the cusp of being able to see any life inside, he wants me to do another round of blood tests. So, I won't have a final answer until next Friday. The limbo goes on. The cramping and bleeding has actually lightened up a bit, so physically I'm starting to feel better. But emotionally I'm so freaking stressed out. I just want an answer. I want to know what's going on. I don't like having this hope dangled in front of me like a carrot.

    @SheHulk723 Ugh, I'm sorry you still don't have a definitive answer.  It would certainly be easier to accept if your HCG was falling as well.  I go Monday to find out if anything has grown or if it's a blighted ovum myself.  Do you know what your gestational sac is measuring?  Either in mm or weeks/days?  Did the sac grow from your last scan?  I'm sorry, I'm just trying to understand all this myself.  Last week my sac measured 12mm, 5 weeks 4 days.  This is borderline whether or not you would expect to see anything inside (yolk, fetal pole, heartbeat).  So I have to wait a week and remeasure.  Under normal circumstances I think a doctor would say, oh, you just aren't as far along as your thought, your ovulation date was off.  The thing is, I should have been at 6 weeks 6 days (IUI cycle, so dates are exact), so it should have been bigger AND we should have been able to see something in it.  I keep trying to convince myself I've just got a slow grower to start with, but in my heart I don't believe it most of the time.  My doctor hasn't tested my HCG recently and seemed to think that what we see on the scan is more important I guess.  Hang in there.  Also did your doctor mention a D&C at all or think it's not necessary as it's so early?  This is not a road I want to go down, but I also don't want to drag things out if it's not viable.  What a freakin mess this all is.   :s

    @pirateduck The report says "Sac diameter 0.29 cm x .20 cm" but I don't know about measurements from the scan before that. The dr mentioned that the d&c is possible, but they aren't going to recommend it yet. I want to avoid it if possible. I am so sorry you're going through this too. If it's any consolation, my oldest measured like two weeks behind and I am 99% sure I had the dates right. I'm almost positive she was just a slow grower. I have everything crossed for you! I know what you mean about what you believe in your heart, I feel that way too.
