The rollarcoaster continues
First I want to thank you guys for being so supportive. Just in case you are curious, I wanted to let you know the latest.
I went in for my 4th beta this morning. I stayed home from work yesterday and cried most of the day. I really mourned the loss of this pregnancy. I actually went to work this morning after my blood draw because I need to start living in the real world again. I've already missed a couple of days of work.
Anyway, my OB/GYN herself called me around noon today with the results. My beta went from 28 - 40 in 48 hours. I am just so devestated that the numbers keep going up! It is totally playing with my emotions! I asked my doctor to tell me what this means. She said I have a 10% chance of having a viable pregnancy at this point, which honestly is way higher than I thought. She said she has had approximately 5 patients that have had weird beta's like mine that went on to have healthy babies.
My doctor said I have a 75% chance of this being an abnormal (in the uterus) pregnancy that will eventually end in miscarriage. And I have a 15% chance of this being an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. That is the part that really scares me!
My doctor told me to keep taking the progesterone supps on the 10% chance this pregnancy is viable. She said if my body is ready to miscarry, the progesterone supps won't stop it. I always thought they would prevent bleeding from keeping my progesterone levels high?
I am supposed to call immediately if I have any unsual pain or if I start bleeding heavily.
I am just so worn out from all of this! I am just ready for this most definitely abnormal pregnancy to be over!!!!
This weekend was my soon to be sister in law's bachelorette weekend with white water rafting and other fun stuff. I already paid to go and am so upset that I'm not going. I just don't think its wise for me to travel 3 hours from home when I could potentially miscarry or have other problems this weekend. I am so bummed on so many levels. :'(
