Thursday October 27th

Oh, and then the pain on my side starts again. This is terrible. Remember I have no spotting and last time we checked (which seems like forever ago) a stong great rising HCG number. This is also the same time it happened last cycle, but this pain has come since the ectopic was resolved—when I ovulated in Aug my side was so painful I googled the word for it—My August 8^th blog is dedicated to the pain. So, I can’t say this is ectopic pain (Of course I can’t rule it out either). I do know that I am tearful and peeing all the time and nauseated. My neck feels so much better—that I actually rescheduled my Physical Therapy appointment and rescheduled for next week.

This weekend I had watched a documentary called “Making Grace” –it is about two women who are trying to have a baby through IUI—she had experienced a previous ectopic and there is this moment when she recounts when she found out she was pregnant (the time after the ectopic)=I actually pulled it up on NETFLIX on my phone just now to watch the part again. She says, she found out she was pregnant and she was so happy and then she started getting crazy about it being ectopic again, she called her doc and her doc said her numbers didn’t seem ectopic (and it turned out to be their baby)!!!

So, I called my nurse and told her about the pain and she said I could come in, but to expect to see nothing on the ultrasound because it is too early. I went in since it is really close to my office and sat in the waiting room trying to convince myself to not be upset if I didn’t see anything (Knowing I would freak out if I saw nothing). I did want piece of mind about not bleeding. The doctor was so nice—I had never had her before ---Wand in and TA-DA---a little black blob with a YOLK! The doctor actually said she had never seen a yolk that early. She looked at it from a bunch of angles and confirmed—it is in there! They took blood and told me I didn’t have to come back on Sunday---but 7-10 days (Later in the day I got the call to return 11.6) to see the Heartbeat!! A real heartbeat that I hope hope hope is in there!!! My nurse even came out when they were drawing my blood to give me a hug and congratulate me—so sweet!
