Happenings

Okay so here it is. Last week (Thursday) I went in to my doctor because I woke up during the night with heavy bleeding. I was expecting and I was about 9 weeks along. I knew something was wrong and we knew pretty sure what it was, but we needed confirmation from the doctor. Some of you may remember, but back between Seth and Sarah I had a 'molar pregnancy'. It is where the egg is empty so when the sperm goes to fertilize it, it just keeps replicating and replicating to try and make it right but it can't because the egg is empty (no DNA). It simulates a pregnancy but there is no fetal tissue and you have to have a D&C to remove the cells because they CAN become cancerous (doesn't happen too often). Another part of it is that your HCG's levels are extremely high (that is the hormone in your body that rises when you are pregnant and should stay in the high hundreds--i think, can't remember now anyway...), but in a molar pregnancy your levels are like in the 8,000's. So becasue of that you have to have a blood test every week to make sure your levels drop and eventually get back to zero. Last time they dropped dramatically and I was fine.
So when I woke up last Thursday I knew this was the probably the same thing. As soon as we saw the ultrasound we saw that that was exactly what it was. So I immediately went to check in at the hospital, get my labs done and have a D&C. It was quite the whirlwind but we came home that afternoon and just did nothing. Sam took awesome care of me (I can't remember the last time I did dishes--I think it's been atleast 5 days. Can I just say that I have the best husband and I thank God that he is who he is. I love him so much) and we had great friends that brought dinner, sonic drinks :), and love and concern.
I am doing much better now physically. We are still waiting to hear on my HCG levels and pathology reports, but hopefully that we will be good and my levels will drop like they did last time. Emotionally things are going good, I think. I cried a lot the first day and now I am just trying not to worry about it until we get my labs back. This is kinda rare. My doctor hasn't seen anyone that has had two at such a young age, so I see him next week and he should know more and again I am just trying to stay positive until we know more.
Thanks for your concern. I appreciate it so much :)
