This morning while I was cooking breakfast, I began having some pretty strong cramping in my lower abdomen and on my right side. My lower back was achy as well. Something just didn't feel right. I later found that I was spotting and immediately began to cry... All I could think was the worst. As always, Ryan is my rock. He always seems to know the right things to say or do to comfort me. He told me to think positive and that maybe this wasn't necessarily a bad sign.
We went to Forsyth Hospital where we sat from 12:30- 8:30pm. It was a very long day... They checked all of my blood levels to make sure everything was still on track there and they also did a pelvic exam. All of that came back ok. Because of the IVF and the chance that both of the embryos had survived, they wanted to make sure one was not ectopic while the other was in the uterus. The sonogram procedure showed us a beautiful baby that looked more like a sweet pea than a baby. We are not quite sure what happened to the other embryo but for whatever reason, it didn't develop and there were no signs that it was ever even there. They did tell us that the baby's heartrate was only 118 which they considered lower than what it should be. This worried me so I called my RE, Dr. Deaton and he said that anything between 110-170 was ok. This made me feel a little bit better but since it is on the low side of normal...it's still a concern for me. Today they also gave me the RhoGAM shot since I have RH- blood.
I go see Dr. Deaton Wednesday this coming week on Aug 31st. We should have some pictures to share that day! Daddy is happy, Mommy is happy, brothers and sister have NO CLUE yet....life is good!
