Hi gals, first of all I must apologise for not posting for some time. thank you so much for everyone's support, it has truly helped. I haven't meant to be a slacker. Just been a bit bed ridden.
Well, this post may be a little long. It has been a bit of an ordeal since last posting.
We decided to wait for the Mon for the BTs, but we knew we were putting off the inevitable. So after a pretty stressful weekend the BT's showed the levels were still rising - increased to 3800. Finally the docs took the situation seriously and wanted to rush me in for surgery ASAP. I met with an ob/gyn who is very good at laps on the Tuesday and he confirmed that he could not see anyting on the u/s but maybe a very very feint patch of possibly blood in the uterus. he is the only one that has picked this up!!!! He was a little concerned also because of my previous miscarriage being a partial molar pregnancy. Although the chances of them regrowing is 4% he didn't want to rule the seriousness of it out.
I went for surgery on the Thurs and the lap showed absolutley nothing. he did a d&c as well and sent that to the path lab. when I made it to recovery and finally came too, apparently the doc spoke with me but I don't remember. They decided to rush me off to have CT scan. Made it back to the recovery ward pretty much exhausted, dehydrated and very hungry. Spoke with DH for about 1/2 hour then I was wisked away again for 3 hours to have a PET scan. The nurse was very blunt in telling me that she was looking for cancer or tumors.
anyway, after a very long day and a lot of emotions running rampant we made it back home around 7pm that night. Spoke to the doc the next day and he was still waiting for the path results but we got the all clear on the scans and a bt which he also did showed the levels were dropping - 2300
i had yet another bt on the Sat and went to see doc on Mon just gone. He has confirmed that the pregnancy was not ectopic afterall and it was about 2cmx2cmx8cm in my uterus and they put it down to chromosonal issues. If this has been picked up in my previous two scans it may have saved us doing a Lap, but it's done now.
My levels are dropping quite quickly (550 as of Mon) and he is confident to say that we are now on the road to recovery and that we can start ttc with the next cycle, whenever that may be. I will be doing two more bt's next week just to ensure we get to zero.
I have taken this week off to digest it all and take it all in.
girls, thank you thank you thank you for all of your input. it is so comforting to speak to others that have heard or experienced these types of scenarios first hand.
lets not give up hope. My prayers and thoughts go out to everyone and I can't wait to see us all in a different forum someday soon not too far down the track. I believe that we can get there, when our time is right.
Big hugs to you all. I will continue to stalk the forums and try to provide help and comfort where i can.
