Ultrasound tomorrow
Well, I am still pregnant. The doctors thought for sure I was going to miscarry over the weekend because I started spotting light pink on Friday just a tiny bit, but I didn't. I am just over 6 weeks along and my beta today was only 269. The doubling time has been around 77 - 115 hours give or take. It should be in the thousands by now.
I have an ultrasound tomorrow and am praying that they can see at least a sac in my uterus. My doctor does not think they will see anything because my beta is still so low. They will be looking for evidence of an ectopic pregnancy as well. After the ultrasound I meet with my doctor.
Last week she encouraged me to take the methodrexate shot to end the pregnancy. I told her I wasn't prepared to make that decision yet, so she let me go one more week. If we can't see a sac in the uterus tomorrow, I will once again be faced with that decision, but urgently this time. I know time is of the esscence if this is an ectopic and I don't want to risk having my tube rupture. But I am really struggling with the thought of taking matters into my own hands and ending this pregnancy. What if a miracle was in store for me if I just waited another week?
I have been crying daily for the past couple weeks. I still can't believe this is happening. This is likely the last night that I will spend with my tiny tiny baby still growing inside of me :'(
