I had my appointment today. I know many of you were sending positive thoughts, and I appreciate that.
The exam and all the questions went fine. When the doctor asked about my symptoms I mentioned the spotting and minimal cramping first. Her response was something along the lines of "we don't like to hear that, but it *could* be minimal". But then she asked about my other symptoms. When I told her I'd had like 2 days of sore boobs, absolutely no morning sickness, and really just fatigue (which when I thought about it, that had subsided the last week or two...I'm still tired, but not like I was the first 2-3 weeks) she was a little more concerned.
I wasn't supposed to go in for an ultrasound until late next week, but they were able to squeeze me in for an ultrasound (I think mostly because the doc was concerned.) According to everything I should be 7 weeks 1 day today. When the tech did the ultrasound, I thought it was bizarre early on she didn't point this out but didn't ask until doc came in and confirmed - there is no heartbeat. Being as far I am, there should be. She also stated that the sac should be nice and round, or close to it. Mine is all lumpy shaped. It appears there is a fetal pole, but everything seems to point toward the pregnancy ending.
I go in again next Tuesday for one more ultrasound to confirm it is a loss, essentially a "just in case", but we had the loss conversation at the appointment. Next week is more for confirmation rather than any hope that maybe it's just to early. The doc was super awesome, and H has been amazing.
I'm okay. I think last week on Thursday or Friday when the spotting became a little more obvious and I started to focus on the complete lack of and/or diminishing of symptoms I kind of expected her to tell us this. I'm crushed, but for now holding up ok. I think it might still be a bit of shock.
Thanks again for ask the positive vibes. They really helped keep me calm the last few days. I'll be sure to update again after next week.
I'm so sorry to read this. I'm going through something very similar - my "just in case" appointment is this coming Friday - so if you ever want to talk, let me know.
