Whew, yesterday was a doozie!
I have been spotting for a couple of days, but I woke up Sunday morning with bright red spotting, and then I laid back down and felt a gush. I freaked out and went to the ER (by myself, DH had to stay with DD). I got an Hcg (98,000
), I asked for a progesterone level, but they wouldn't do it 
: And then I had to FIGHT to get an U/S 
, although I kind of wished I hadn't gotten one. The "ultrasound tech" didn't see anything, or whatever that means. The doctor came out and told me that I was loosing this pregnancy and gave me a handout on miscarriages 
:
I was SOOOOO distraught
Finally, later in the day, I figured I could all my work (L&D at another hospital) and ask a favor. I found a cool resident that was working and she said she could give me another U/S to see if she could find anything. We went right in, but had to wait around for 3 hours because it was so busy. We finally got the U/S and she found the sac and the little baby and possibly the heartbeat!!!! 
:
I'll be getting another Hcg on Wednesday to follow up. I'm just so mad at the ER staff for being so incompetent!!!!:
So, I'm still super paranoid, but at least I know, for RIGHT now, everything is OK.

How scary! I'd be a mess if I was in that situation! I would be writing a letter or calling the hospital head to discuss what happened.
And they're making me wait until next friday for another U/S. BUT, I'm not bleeding right now, so that's always a good thing. I guess it's the waiting game now. I HATE having this hanging over my head! I never had hcg levels drawn with DD, and I was just fine! I just need to try and relax and take it easy, ha ha!
