This week has been a horrible roller coaster, but the thrill at the end was definitely worth waiting for. My friend's sister works in my OB office. Brittany knew how upset I was on Monday and pulled my chart. She noticed that on my exam, my cervix was still closed. She also knew from talking to my friend that my bleeding hadn't increased. So she took my ultrasounds to her doctor. Dr. Paul reviewed them and agreed with Brittany. She told Brittany to have me come in for bloodwork.
I did some research myself and found out that when someone has irregular periods, say every 46 days, it isn't abnormal for them to ovulate very late as I did. In fact, my baby should have been at exactly 5 weeks on Monday. So Mike and I began to hope.
They did labs on Wednesday and again this morning and wouldn't you know, they doubled, just as a normal pregnancy would. Ironically I also vomited in my car in the parking garage of the office - and I never vomit (unless alcohol is involved, of course!). So now I have morning sickness and my pregnancy - at least for now - is normal. The spotting is still here, but they said some women just do that. Unless it gets heavy, it is okay.
So thank you for all your prayers, because I KNOW that is what made the difference. I feel so blessed and I just can't thank you all enough for your support.
