Pregnancy

18dp2dt to 22dp2dt

18dp2dt (17 March):
Went to KKH to redo my blood test. Got the result and the HCG was at 1015.1. My spotting went downhill with red blood at 9 pm. I had pain on the left side of my lower abdomen. I couldn't sleep with the pain and decided to go to KKH O&G on Tuesday 5 am.

19dp2dt (18 March):
When I reached KKH O&G, they gave me a painkiller jab to ease the pain. They sent me for ultrasound scan at 8.30 am. They saw 2 masses adjacent to my right and left ovary. They were not able to determine what they were. They had me admitted to KKH for further observations. I was on IV drip the whole day as instructed by Dr Tan as I might need to go for operation. They were suspecting that it could be an ectopic pregnancy. I was also given antibiotics that needed to be injected into the veins. Oh my, that was real painful! The abdomen pain seemed to have stopped and the bleeding seemed minimal throughout the whole day. I had the best sleep that night in the hospital ever since ET.

20dp2dt (19 March):
Early in the morning, a doctor came to take my blood for the test and oh my, it was the most painful one so far. At 9 am, Dr Tan came to see me and said that the HCG level had dropped. My heart kind of sank. He only commented that sometimes in a twins pregnancy, the HCG level does fluctuate and he didn't want to take it as the gospel truth that it meant that the pregnancy is no longer there. However, he didn't want to rule out the possiblities of a twins pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, heterotopic pregnancy and missed miscarriage. 

21dp2dt (20 March):
Bleeding was very minimal. No abdominal pain. 

22dp2dt (21 March):
No bleeding and no abdominal pain. They took my blood again to test and my level went up to 1572.5 from 809.2. Dr Tan came to see me before I was discharged. He still didn't rule out the 4 possibilities and commented that an ultrasound scan will be able to tell. He also commented the rise in the HCG could be because we put in 2 embryos and they are independent. They secrete the hormones separately. 

My almighty God, please continue to bless my baby/babies and let this be a viable pregnancy for the next 10 months. Let my baby/babies show up in my uterus on the ultrasound scan on 28 March with flickering heartbeats. God, please make this happen! Lord, have mercy on us! In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, we pray! Amen!
