We have good news! We had the 1st ultrasound done today and got to see the heartbeat flickering away on the screen. It was so cool, it looked like a little strobe light in my uterus. And there was only one heartbeat, which made my husband
very happy.
The only potential downside is that the RE was a little concerned over some fluid he wasn't expecting to see in my uterus. He speculates that it is from an ovarian cyst that ruptured, but there is a slim (1:36000) chance that it is from an ectopic pregnancy in addition to the little one in the correct spot. So, back to the RE for another session with the dildo cam on Tues 9/22. I'm not going to complain for several reasons.
- We get to see that beautiful heartbeat going again, maybe even hear it this time.
- I'd rather play it safe and make sure the fluid is from a cyst and not an ectopic.
- I forgot to ask for a referral to an OB! Note to self: don't forget next time! ;)
So, I'll try to do more updates, but I can't promise that it'll happen. The nausea has let up, if I eat correctly and not too much, but fatigue is simply kicking my butt. And if I don't drink enough water I get a bad case of the dizzies (found that out the hard way last saturday). And now I have the pleasure of getting up to pee every 2 hours overnight, and having such terrible gas that I woke myself up last night while ripping one. My husband said he did wake up, but can't remember if it was me that woke him. Probably for the best as he would have fallen out of bed from laughing. ;)
And now I'm off to bed shortly as I am whupped and Ben wants the computer back. ;)
