I am still pregnant! Until the fat lady sings I am NOT out of this yet!!
Anyways, today was suppose to be the day I get my DnC. But after much arguing with myself over night and reading blogs and reading websites we opted against the DnC for now.
We arrived at the hospital as scheduled at 1230. I went and spoke to the receptionist and told her that I was having "second thoughts" and being a "doubting Thomas" And she immediately said "I know you're not doubting yourself, you're being OPTIMISTIC and there's nothing wrong with that!".....
That made me smile. To know that an unbias party was telling me this.
So I went back and sat down with the nurse shortly after and I told her I wanted some blood work and another u/s done before we make this "final". I told her "I don't want to look back at the what ifs in life later on".
She said she'd go talk to the dr and see what he wanted to do but she didn't see a problem of him refusing this request.
So she left and than returned shortly after and said "the dr wants to have a face to face conversation with you but for now he wants you to go and get the pre-op stuff done anyways".
So we did and that took a whole half hour (blood work and an EKG).
At a little after 1 we came back up the dr's office and sat around for awhile. Waiting to meet and talk with the dr.
Well at around 215 or so the receptionsist says the dr may be awhile cause he went to deliver a baby..... well I asked if we can schedule to see him Monday or tomorrow. And sat back down in my seat.
Soon enough the dr came back up from delivery and we were escorted to the room.
Than the dr came in and we talked about how he wasn't comfortable with doing anything until I was comfortable, they weren't there to pressure me to do this if I didn't feel it was right yet.
He looked over my records and said "you're levels early on were 12" and I said "yep". and he jokingly said "wow the sheets were still warm when you got that blood test"..... LOL! And we all just went "must have".
Well long story short he said the blood work wouldn't show anything definitive cause the #s wouldn't be doubling. So instead he just wants me to get an u/s. He said there's no harm in doing this. And if it'll settle my mind and whatnot he has no problem with doing this...... which is great relief to know!! Much different tune that the female dr that was kind of pushing our minds one way! :)
He originally verbally told me to get one done on Thursday but his nurse called and said they scheduled it for Monday!
So we'll see more and know more on Monday afternoon! At which point I will update more.
Thank you for the extra push to get me thinking straighter ....... haha. I think this way we'll know 100% of what is going on and not be standing at a 90%. That extra 10% will make a huge difference.
Well guess that's it! Guess we wait, pray and hope that Buttercup pulls through for us Monday and we see more and find out more!! :)
