Everything is okay! (ghost - update on me)

Post by leorira11 »

I wrote on Monday that I had bled heavily all day Sunday and Monday morning's u/s showed a collapsing gestational sac. My hCG was rising, but not as quickly as before.

We spent all week thinking I was miscarrying....

well.... we went to the clinic this morning...

There is a fetus measuring 6w1d (I'm officially 6w today) with a HEARTBEAT! A normal looking yolk sac too! The gestational sac is a little irregularly shaped (which might later be a problem in terms of risks for pPROM again if it doesn't correct itself), but everything else is perfect! We are shocked! The doctor and nurse (u/s tech was stuck in traffic so the dr did the u/s) were shocked! It really is even better than we could have hoped for! (I was hoping they would still see something which would mean I hadn't miscarried yet... this is so great!)

We are so shocked and so excited. It's really hard to believe. We've spent so many days thinking that miscarriage was inevitable...

yay!

Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
