I had to go back to the doctor today. I haven’t really started my period yet, which is kind of strange in this situation. They drew MORE blood and did a sonogram. The sonogram showed that my uterine wall was still very thick, as it would be if I were still pregnant, but there was nothing in the uterus. They are thinking now it could possibly be an etopic pregnancy. I will know more tomorrow when the blood levels come back. Those dang blood levels again. Anyway, if they are still dropping then we just wait and I will probably go back in next Monday and do this all over again. If they have gone up then I will have to take Methotrexate which is used for chemotherapy treatment. Basically it will stop the reproduction of rapid producing cells. IF they have to give me this medication we will not be able to try again for at least 3 months. The Methotrexate has some side effects that can cause serious birth defects. Another possibility is a D & C, where they will just go in and expel everything manually. From what I am reading this is the fastest way but it also has more complications.
At this point I don’t know what to think. Dr. Rodriguez did say he was almost certain that the pregnancy was in the uterus but he could not be 100% sure. We will just have to wait and see tomorrow when the blood work comes back.
I will be heartbroken if we have to put everything on hold for 3 months. After everything that has happened this month and then to be told to wait, again.
At this point I am just praying my numbers are going down on their own and I will start my cycle very soon. It’s hard to move past something that keeps continuing.
