So I went to the international clinic yesterday to get a game plan in place for doctors appointments here. After an hour and a half I finally got into see the doctor. He was very nice and helpful. He set me up with the OBGYN for Friday and I am going in for blood work this morning. Although I really didn't want an ultrasound this early when he said they could do it I couldn't turn it down!
Unfortunately they don't do vaginal so I just got an abdominal scan. Kind of sucks, because it's too early to pick up a heartbeat on abdominal. The ultrasound person didn't say anything to me, maybe 5 words but he didn't speak English anyways so it probably really didn't matter. My husband and I (mostly my husband) can manage with our Portuguese but do not think we would be good with medical terminology.
Once it was over I waited another hour to get the results to take to the OBGYN on Friday. I decided to walk back to the other doctor to have him check the results. He said everything looks great and that I was off by one day! They are estimating me at 5W5D but I'm not changing anything until I have an appointment in the US.
Once I got home I translated the documents and from what I can understand it says:
-my uterus has increased in volume
-something about gestational sac (translation doesn't make sense)
-good position
- with corpus luteum
So happy to confirm there is something inside of me. When I got home though I had a little bit of brown spotting which has me freaked out a little. Strange coincidence??
