Collapsed Gestational Sac/Threatened Miscarriage
According to this app and the start date of my last period. I would 9 weeks today. A week after I got my positive (got my positive on Dec. 23rd), I went to Assure Women's Center to confirm. They confirmed me and I was told I was 4-5 weeks. I called and made an appointment with my OB. I was seen around 7 weeks. They confirmed I was pregnant again and did a vaginal ultrasound. We weren't able to see much just two little circles inside the sac. The OB told me I was still really early. Then the OB said to come back in two weeks to see if there were still two. After my appointment, I was looking at other ultrasounds on this app of other mothers 7 weeks pregnant. I was concerned because there was more than two little circles on all the other ultrasounds. I mentioned it to my husband (he was a nurse in Mexico) but told me not to worry about it. Then I read about how sometimes we're more early than a week. Usually someone thought they were 7 weeks but were really 6. I tried not to think about it and after a couple days, I wasn't so worry about it. I figured I was just over thinking it.. This Thursday that passed I had just got to class. I sat down, got my stuff out ready to take notes and was ready for class to begin. I was sending a text to my husband and when I looked up to the board. I got really dizzy and light headed. I felt as if everything around me was moving and I was just stuck there. I felt like if I were to stand up. I would fall over. I finished eating a muffin I had bought before class. Drank my hot chocolate and water. But nothing helped. I texted my husband and aunt telling them how I felt. They both said its probably because I need to eat, just stay calm and call my OB to see what she said. I sat through my hour class, not feeling any better. I also started cramping but nothing too bad. When I went to the restroom after class, I noticed a pink dot on my underwear. When I wiped I had some more pink blood/discharge. I didn't freak out about it too much but I mentioned it to my husband just in case. A couple hours later when I went to the restroom again, my underwear was full of brown blood/discharge. I was freaking out on the inside but read it was just old blood. Nothing to freak out about. So I just mentioned it to my husband and he said as long as it wasn't red. It should be okay but that I should watch it. When I went to bed that night, I put on a pad. In the morning, the pad was completely clear and had nothing on it. So I was relieved. After my Friday morning class, I went to visit my aunt. I used the restroom and noticed the brown blood/discharge. Except it was a little thicker than the day before. So I asked my aunt and again she told me as long as it wasn't red. I shouldn't be too worried. I was low-key freaking out because I was still cramping but it was a little bit worse than the day before. But again, I tried not to worry about it too much. Just keep an eye on it. Around 7-8pm, I went pee again. I still had the brown blood/discharge. But as I was going pee I could feel when some blood fell into the toilet. This time it was bright red. But when I wiped it was between pink, brown, and red blood/discharge. I was totally freaking out now. I went to tell my aunt. She said she also bled with her last two pregnancies but that I should go to the doctor.. I waited an hour for my husband to get off work and around 10pm we went to the emergency room. After an hour of waiting in the waiting area, they finally gave me a room. They did a regular ultrasound but could barely see anything. After about another hour, I was taken to another room to do another ultrasound but this time they did a vaginal ultrasound. The technician look serious but I tried not to pay mind to it. It was late and she looked tired. I remember she tried to put the screen at an angle so that I wouldn't be able to see it but I was still able to look at the screen. I saw the sac and a little thing inside of it and remember thinking the sac looks like a little bean. She took A LOT of pictures and took a while looking at my ovaries. She didn't say anything to me which is fine. She said my doctor would be right in to discuss my ultrasound. My doctor came back into my room about 30 mins later. He told me that my urine test came back normal but that my ultrasound was concerning. According to my ultrasound, I was actually 6 weeks. Which doesn't make sense to me at all. My gestational sac had collapsed and during the ultrasound. They couldn't find a heart beat.. I tried not to cry but once he said they were going to let me go home because there was nothing they could do to stop or prevent. I could feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. He said it looked like the beginning of a miscarriage. To go see my OB in two days or call the OB at the hospital I went to and they would see me Monday. This morning, I actually read my discharge papers and saw that I was diagnosed with a threatening miscarriage. I completely broke down. My husband reassured me that they weren't too sure and we don't know yet. We just have to wait. I just feel so sad and I'm not too sure what to do. Ive been cramping on and off all day today. They're not as bad as yesterday, so far I haven't been spotting or bleeding. This is my first pregnancy and it was planned. Im completely devastated and heart broken. Has this happen to anyone else? What ended up happening? Im trying to have faith but I'm just so angry and heart broken. I have no idea what to think. Any advice would be extremely appreciated 😔💔
Sorry if it got a little too personal..
