After my ultrasound on Friday I had a bit of spotting. Bright red spotting with clots. Then again on Sunday and Monday nights. I was preparing for the worst. Then I started period bleeding and cramping Tuesday morning. Went in for my scheduled ultrasound at 1. I let the ultrasound tech know I was bleeding and told her that I know this isn't good. She saw the sac, measuring maybe .5-1 day bigger than Friday. Then she saw a fetal pole. I couldn't believe it. Then after looking in a bunch of new directions found a very very slow heartbeat. Not strong enough for the machine to pick it up but both techs saw it. Saw the dr after and she did and exam, said she doesn't see any new bleeding, she had no clue why I started, and was just as surprised as everyone else to see a fetal pole and a heartbeat. She ordered another ultrasound on Friday, sadly she's going on vacation and won't be back till Monday and no other dr in that practice will see me due to the situation. So I have to wait till next Tuesday for my ultrasound. Still period like bleeding but not enough to get on a pad. But I am also going to the bathroom like every hour. Still passing clots and cramping. Got much better at bedtime last night. So once again I was prepared for the worst only to get a bit a good news and now I get to wait again. This is soooo stressful.
Well, I think your doctor's office is shitty and I wish you could find one that truly cares about you and your baby because it's very clear they don't.
I also wish there was more I could do for you while you are waiting in limbo. I am so sorry you are going through this. ::Hugs::
Ugh what an emotional roller coaster! I'm so sorry that you're stuck in this stressful limbo. I hope this turns out to be a totally false alarm and that baby looks perfect and healthy at your next u/s!
It's terrible to be in limbo like this. I'm sorry you're dealing with so much stress right now. I'm glad that the last ultrasound was promising, though I wish you didn't have to wait until next Tuesday for another ultrasound. I don't exactly understand why another doctor can't see you. There's a reason you have a medical chart with notes in it- any competent doctor should be able to read it, understand what's going on, and provide you with medical care.
Fingers crossed that things are looking up next week. Take it one day at a time and do whatever you can to distract yourself during this stressful time.
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I am also having spotting here and the waiting is mentally tough. Try to stay as busy as you can and hug your toddler a lot. They are good little therapists. Huge hugs to you and fingers crossed for a positive next ultrasound!
