So I’ve been avoiding this place for a bit. The results I got on the ultrasound were not the miracle we’d hoped for. Basically the findings confirmed that this pregnancy will not continue to term. Here’s waht indicated those things:
1. The gestational sac is now irregularly shaped which is consistant with blighted ovum
2. The sac is now bigger than the “cut off” at which dr’s agree we should see fetal development
3. There is some “fluid collection” between the sac and the uterus (probably blood) which indicates that my body is beginning to recognize that the pg isn’t viable
So for all intents and purposes, it looks like I’ll be experiencing my first miscarriage. I do not want a D&C even though dr’s seem to be trying to convince me to have one. For my own peace of mind, I need to let it at least begin on it’s own. It’s the only way I’ll fully accept it.
Seeing the ultrasound wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but the rest of the day was tough. It’s the first time in my life that I can remember bursting out into tears at the drop of a dime. It took my by surprise and was tough to stop.
Thankfully, DH has been great in helping me deal with everything I’m feeling.
