it is definitely a blighted ovum. the gestational sac grew since last week but still no yolk sac or fetal pole. so i will stop the progesterone tonight and hopefully that will make me miscarry by the weekend but it may not. they never checked my progesterone to see if i actually have low levels; they just put me on it b/c i had 2 m/c and it doesn't hurt anything to take it. so if i do actually have low levels or maybe just from the fast withdraw of progesterone, i should m/c naturally. if i don't in 2 weeks, i go back to see her and they put me on medicine to dilate and contract the uterus. my appointment with my RE (reproductive endocrinologist) is in 3 weeks and she obviously wants me to be back to normal so they can go forward with testing, etc. she agrees with me not wanting to do a d&c, but she didn't exactly say at what point they would make me get one. so lets pray we won't even have to think about that.
***oh i forgot to add in this post earlier that i do have a tilted uterus they forgot to tell me about for the past 10 years, but she looked every which way to make sure there was no baby hiding. they said my cervix faces the wrong way but it shouldn't hurt anything, besides bad back pain in early pregnancy which i had with all 3. its common to have a tilted uterus, but usually they tell you during a routine vaginal examination. whoops they forgot to tell me i guess!
so now for a list of positives to look on the bright side :)
-i took off the "diaper"! yay for no more progesterone suppositories!
-i had a java chip frap today! yummo!
-i can get back to running and maybe sign up for a race this spring/summer to aim for
-i can have a beer if i would like
-hmmm ill keep thinking of more!
