Last week, I had a regular OB appointment and my Dr. was not able to find the baby's heartbeat with the doppler. Not a huge deal, it's a new machine, I'm only about 10 weeks, so it's a bit early - but just to be safe, they send me for an ultrasound to make sure things are okay. I go for the ultrasound appointment, the tech is lovely, the baby has a beautiful thumpy heart, she give's me a 3-5 picture and a printout with some stats on it, and I'm on my way.
So, today, I call the OB's office because the nurse left me a voicemail. The nurse - whom I'm very fond of, this is my second pregnancy with this practice - says that the ultrasound came back great, but there was a small intra-uterine bleed - so I should be on pelvic rest and generally take it easy - no intercourse, and no lifting (I have a 13 month old, so there will be lifting, but anyway.) And, they are adjusting my due date because the ultrasound report says I'm 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant!!! That's a month off from where I think I am!!! And I'm pretty sure it's not possible.
I'm relatively sure about when my last menstrual period was - I could be off by a day or so, but not too much. According to the nurse, my new date of conception was October 10. I took a HPT, and got a positive result, on Sept 29 and had betas done in the doctor's office on Oct 2. The betas were low, but not zero. And the real kicker - my DH was in Mexico City that week! I know that sperm can hang out for a while, but not that long, and the man literally was out of the country!! Could I have been pregnant, miscarried (without noticing any bleeding AT ALL) and then conceived again??
I'm getting another ultrasound tomorrow. The tech didn't say a word to me about any kind of bleed - and I haven't noticed any bleeding - and when I said I was about 10 weeks pregnant, she didn't say the baby looked small. I'm very confused. All I can thing of is the imaging center accidently sent my Dr. someone else's report. Do you all have any thoughts??
