So, I have an appointment scheduled with another Obstetrician tomorrow to see if he can provide additional input besides just possible “blighted ovum.” Though I know that’s most likely, I still want to know what else could possible be causing us to see just a gestational sac on my ultrasounds. I just want to see if another dr would even acknowledge that there’s a slight chance of some other explanation. I don’t know what tomorrow’s appt will entail. They know why I’m coming, but I don’t know if they’ll just do a “getting to know you appointment” where they just collect general information, or if they’ll actually do an ultrasound tomorrow. I guess I will find out tomorrow.
Also - just to satisfy my curiousity, my SIL is taking another home pregnancy test. Why? Because she just recently told me that her last period was a lot lighter and shorter than normal. Now this comes after she’s also told me that her last 3 cycles have been like clockwork. So to me, that light period is strange. I could be grasping at straws here, but it could possibly be implantation bleeding that just took a while to get to the cervix and from an egg that didn’t implant until maybe 12 days dpo. OR it could be something I just learned about today called “breakthrough bleeding.” Some women experience this through early pregnancy. Sometimes pregnancy hormones aren’t built up enough to completely stop a woman’s period so they have some light spotting at the time when they would normally expect their period. Of course there are other possibilities too - those which don’t involve my SIL being pregnant. But now she’s got me thinking about it all over again and she’s willing to take another test so I don’t go crazy wondering if maybe she’s pregnant.
She did say that she doesn’t think so though and is experiencing some of the signs that make her feel that she’s about to ovulate, so if she’s not, no biggie - we’ll keep our fingers crossed for this cycle.
