After almost a week of a roller coaster of emotions and hopes, I was injected with Methotrexate yesterday to rid my body of this pregnancy. Even though I had started bleeding on Thursday, my HCG levels almost quadurpled from Wednesday to Friday.
After a very long weekend, which included an overnight stay at the hospital after I passed out after dinner downtown, my levels had risen, but only slightly. After 2 more tests in the last 2 days, it was determined that they were leveling off instead of going one way or the other.
I knew this pregnancy was not viable, but it doesn't make this process any easier. My doctors will never be able to effectively classify this pregnancy as ectopic, molar, chemical ... we just don't know as there was never anything on an u/s to let us know where it was.
It makes things a little easier to come home to a little girl who doesn't mind a little snuggle time (especially when I wear a sweatshirt with strings ... she will sit still in my lap forever chewing on those things!) and has the cutest little toothless grin!
I am thankful that I am here, that this wasn't something that turned out life threatening and that I have some wonderful doctors who truly care about me (my perinatologist called my OBGYN from New Mexico to check on me and personally called me yesterday when he learned the pregnancy was to be terminated). I am blessed.
