Devastated- ER trip last night (long)
My H and I went to the ER last night because I was having some pain in the right side of my abdomen. They took tons of blood from me, and then went in to do an u/s. The u/s tech couldn't find anything (my uterus is tilted downward and I guess it made things difficult to see) so he went for the V probe. He didn't say anything to me, so I knew something was wrong.
At my first prenatal visit I saw a NP. She used the V probe on me but didn't really know how to, so she couldn't give us an exact measurement of the embryo. Since I never had a period and conceived off of BCP I told her when I thought we conceived and so she gave me a due date based off of that. Her exam was less than thorough.
Either way, the ER doc came back to tell me the fetus was measuring at 6wks and 3 days, but that they could not detect a hb. I have had no bleeding and no cramping and he checked my cervix and said it was closed. At this point he said it is more likely that I had/or am having a MC. Second more unlikely situation is that our dates are way off and the hb hasn't started yet. I got my BFP on 12-30-08 and used first response I had two lines, one was quite faint, but enough to know I was prego. I am so confused. I go in for another u/s next week to confirm what is going on. I asked that HCG levels be taken but they wouldn't give them to me (Kaiser). I also found out my blood type is A-, which is something I never knew and the previous NP never told me.
How early can you get a big fact positve?
If we conceived on say Dec. 17th, then wouldn't my fetus be exactly 6 wks??
I know it's entirely possible that I have had, or am having a MC, it's just so hard to face. I am dreading the u/s next friday.

?<Hugs>
?I'll be praying for you Brenda! Keep us updated.
Oh, Brenda, I am so so sorry. I hope you are able to get through this week and make it to Friday stress and worry-free. I hope the dates are just wrong and that the heartbeat just can't be detected this early.
{{{hugs}}}
KAISER...don't get me started on them!!! They are the ones who let my mother die!
When I was 9 weeks I had some spotting and went to the ER. They took urine, blood, and did an u/s to make sure everything was fine (but then, I have a different insurance, not Kaiser). I left the hospital fully confident that everything was okay. Why they wouldn't take your blood is beyond me! How horrible to get no peace of mind when they could do something so simple.
Hugs, Brenda. I am so sorry you are going through this. I really hope it all ends up OK, and you get some answers before Friday.
Email me if you want to talk. Anytime.
xoxo
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
I wouldn't count you out yet!!!
I had bleeding at 11wks and everything is fine!!!
We also didn't see a HB till 6wks 5days and I KNEW EXACTLY when I ovulated.
Hang in there!!!! Wait for the test results and get into see an OB ASAP!!
They can do another u/s in a few days and check for the HB again!!
HUGS!!!!! I know it's tough!!!!
Oh my dear I'm so sorry you have to go though this.
I won't attempt to try and help figure out the earlies for BFP, HBs and such as Tiff, Kim, and Sharra know 10x what I do about the subject.
All I can say is I hope with all my heart the best for you and the baby bean and I will keep you in my thoughts.
Please, and much as you feel comfortable doing so, keep us informed how you are.
sending love your way.
Bren,
I am so sorry you are going through this. You are in my prayers. I just want to tell you I know exactly what you are going through, and I know how devastated and scared you might feel. I have had great experience with Kaiser, but in the same in token, I have had some negative ones as well. BTW, if you continue to have pains, I would suggest going back to ER, and not wait until Friday. It makes me angry that they are making you wait that long. I hope that everything will be alright, and I will continue to pray for you and your baby.
*hugs*
my poor friend! I can't believe you're going through this. I will keep positives thoughts for you. I'm glad you're going to find another OB. b.s. making you wait for something that's so upsetting.
xoxoxo
