Hey Ladies!

I held off for about two and half weeks after O and let my doctor do my pregnancy test at my recent follow up appointment. Well, it's confirmed! Everyone in my doctor's office was very worried as I just had an ectopic that resulted in immediate surgery post detection and the loss of my left tube in October. My doctor came in and said, "Well, you know it's not ideal to be pregnant right now"... They drew betas and scheduled my ultra sound for this upcoming Monday. Because I never really got a period after the surgery (some bleeding, but not what I would consider a period), I'm not sure of my true ovulation date. I know that today I am no more than 5w4d.

My first draw was at 5w 4367; they just called with the second at 5w2d they were 8364. The doctor was pleased and said we are going to proceed with the ultrasound on Monday. She said she never asked for progesterone levels because we are going to approach this as a normal pregnancy. She said we may not see much on Monday (I'll be 5w6d, I think), but may be able to see a gestational sac and maybe a yolk sac and a tiny fetal pole. I just want to make sure there is a successful IUP.

Needless to say I am SO worried, but I have been in constant prayer and belief that this sweet baby is in my womb and nowhere else. I have renounced the thought that any twinges or any pulling in my side is due to anything negative. I'm claiming that it is just healing, stretching and growth. Please keep me in your prayers and good thoughts for my ultrasound on Monday!
