What I have been up to.

Sorry I haven't been around much so far. I was worried and afraid to post about it. I had some major stomach pains for a few days and my doctor was afraid it was an ectopic so I spent last Monday in the ER. That doctor seemed to think it may be ectopic too. So they did the vaginal ultrasound but I was only 4 weeks 4 days and all they saw was a gestational sac. They weren't sure yet so the did my HCG that day it was 1470 and on Wednesday at 4 weeks 6 days it was 3256 so it more then doubled in a little less then 48 hours. They said it looked good but I was hesitant. So I went in yesterday for a follow up ultrasound and they could see the baby and the yolk sac and the tech said she could see the heartbeat from the flickering but it wasn't strong enough yet to get a rate. I was 5 weeks 5 days. So I am a little reassured for the time being. I still know that it can change at any moment but for now I am being very optimistic. Here is my ultrasound from yesterday for all that are interested. Sticky baby vibes all around.

Oh Tina, I am so happy for you. I'm sorry you had a scare--my most recent PG in August they thought was an ectopic and I was terrified! (I m/c, but at least it wasn't ectopic.) Anyway--I've been following your posts in TTCAM since we started this crazy journey with TTC and I'm so glad to see your post that everything's ok! This is actually the first time I've posted in weeks because I think I've been too obsessed with this whole PG thing, and it's becoming unhealthy for me. So--need a little break from the boards for awhile.

But, my point is (I like to ramble), I'm so glad for your update and will continue to look for you guys' updates so I know everythings ok!! I'm sure everything will be great! Hope to join you in PAL soon.

Take care,
Sarah :)
