The latest news
The doctors, because they want to be sure of everything need to do all these tests that take time before they will do anything final. So I had to go for another pregnany test which ofcoarse came back positive. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and she sent me to the lab to have a bloodtest done that checks the levels of hormones (which she actually had to get a specialist approval for), and I will have to take another bloodtest on Friday. Apparently it only takes two days to show a drop in hormones, so by tomorrow I may have something final set.In the meantime, my doctor is trying to get another ultrasound done today by the oncall obstetrician. My doctor showed me the report yesterday which indicated that my "empty sac" measured 10 weeks when I thought I was almost 12, but the doctor said that they can be off by about a week, and it is possible that I had actually conceived a little later than thought. So, my sac seems to be growing right on schedule LOL. The other thing she said about the report was that the sac was irregularly shaped. I am not sure how, but she said that she has never had a report come back that said that.I checked online and it can be caused by several things (usually which all lead to miscarraige). The real catch about the whole thing is that, if I get everything settled on Friday, there may be a strike in the hospitals all over Nova Scotia on Novemeber 6th, and I may have to wait for a D&C until that is over!!! I did speak to my doctor today and she said that the test taken yesterday indicated that the levels were at the low end, and my ultrasound is booked for Nov 16th/06.
