What a rollacoaster....

Well we finally went for a scan on  25th June at 6+3 weeks and saw 2 embyo sacs, but no babies and we were told that although I was pregnant, the embryo's hadn't developed and they were what is normally called a blighted ovum (b/o).

Obviously we were devastated, and I in particular found it really hard to come to terms with the fact that both embryo's were classed as being b/o especially when one was measured to be 5wks and the other to be on target at 6+3wks.  We were told to go to see our Dr and take it from there, but to get the pregnancy terminated as soon as possible.

So off we went to see the Dr, we explained all that had happened, and she did some investigations over the phone as the best course of action to take.  In the end, she decided to send me off to the Early Pregnancy Unit for assessment.  The earliest appointment was 2nd July.

We headed off to the hospital to EPU and had another scan, this time what we saw was different to the previous week, there were still 2 sacs, the smaller one had shrunk, but the larger one was bigger still and a baby was visible!  They decided not to do anything else, but booked us in to have another scan on 20th July, but to come back if there was any sign of bleeding.

We were over the moon, I burst into tears, it was totally different to what we were expecting to see.

But our happiness was to be short lived, as that evening I started bleeding, so off to hospital we went again, this time to A&E.  I was examined, and the opinion was that I was loosing the smaller of the sacs,  that it was too early to see anything if they scanned me, and to go home.  Another scan was booked for 7th July to investigate what has happened.

Roll on Wednesday so that we can see that our baby is still with us.
