Two Days of Doctors: Day 2 - The Ultrasound
Day 2: Thursday
Jeff came with me, thank God. The ultrasound showed a gestational sac and a yolk sac. No fetal heartbeat, but they did warn us that its probably too early for that anyway.
Meeting with the doctor was... confusing. She had a smile plastered on her face THE ENTIRE TIME and didn't explain things very well so we were really getting mixed signals about what was going on. I'll tell you what I think I understand:
The ultrasound ruled out a tubal or eptopic pregnancy - good.
The ultrasound showed a gestational and yolk sac - good.
The ultrasound did not show a fetal heartbeat - don't know yet whether it could show up, so not good, but not bad.
The ultrasound showed that I have what's called Venous Lakes - not good.
What she said was basically these are areas of large blood vessel collections outside the placenta that could, or could not go away. She did say this COULD be the cause of my bleeding, although she can't know for sure. She also said its something to watch because it can restrict growth and could have something to do with the placenta detaching eventually. Scary. Even though I knew she wouldnt have an answer, I asked if she thought this may have been what cause my last miscarriage. Her answer was, "Each pregnancy is unique and different." Okay. I flat out asked if this could cause me to miscarry this time. Her answer was, "I wish I had a crystal ball." Okay.
I scheduled another ultrasound for next Thursday. I will be 7 weeks so they should be able to pick up a fetal heartbeat. So basically we are back to playing the waiting game, which is the worst game in the history of all games.
I had pretty much lost all hope this week, but today a little returned. It wasn't the best news, but certainly not the worst. Lots of prayers floating your way baby. Please, please, please keep growing. There are many people here that want to meet you next summer.
