My trip to the ER...

[lyssac]

Well, last week it was spotting (twice), this week it was pain - and this time, bad enough to prompt my husband into bullying me into going to the ER.

I've had some pain on and off, throughout, as I have chronic pelvic pain from my PCOS, but last night, my lower back started to hurt, and this afternoon, there were really sharp pains in/near my left ovary. We were worried about a possible ectopic, or large cyst.

According to the dr, I have a healthy intrauterine pregnancy, and most likely a UTI, which is treatable.

The baby (fetal pole) was a bit small, measuring about a week behind my dates (6w0d +/-3d) - even though I am pretty sure about the date of conception, and the heartrate was 106, which I am not too crazy about (my last pregnancy had a small sac and a 109 heartrate), but it is early, and everything looks kind of reassuring at this point, which does help me feel a little better.

Hopefully, everything will continue on from here. I'll do my weekly progress post tomorrow.

With my second child the docs were adamant my dates were out by 3 weeks. Which would mean one she wasn't hubbys! and 2 my GP had found her hearbeat at 4 weeks pregnant!
When she finally arrived they took one look at her and asked when my orig due date was. She was born 3 weeks late!
So don't worry if they argue your dates. Not every baby sticks to their charts. None of my 3 did from conception to the age they are now.

Thanks. I appreciate the reassurances. I figure that I actually ovulated about 3 days later than my LMP would suggest, and there is a mrgin of error in the measurements anyway, but sometimes it is hard not tho cling to my worries.
