Purgatory v. Pregnancy (April 27, 2008)

I never noticed before how similar those 2 words are. As of this moment, I am pregnant. If I'll be pregnant tomorrow is another question. I had what I assumed was my period on the 12th - 19th...sometimes heavy, giving way to spotting. Then this Tuesday I started spotting again, followed by a brownish discharge. I finally called and left a message with my doctor Thursday. She called back on Friday and told me it was just a "blip" and not to worry. Well, I had a feeling it was more than a blip, so I took a test. It was positive. I immediately began crying, assuming the worst. I called the doc back and the nurse told me to go to the ER. I need a rhogham shot, blood tests, and an ultrasound.


Long story short, I'm waiting. My hcg was only 90, but we're not sure how far a long I am. Apparently, an u/s wouldn't show anything, so I have to wait until Monday for a blood test. Hopefully my numbers will be doubling! Please keep my little bean in your prayers. He or she is due on Christmas Day if my calculations are correct!
