My OB appointment today. 8w4d
Today I went in and got the results of the testing and u/s etc. My blood work all came back good. The prometrium is doing its job and my levels are good. I have to continue the progesterone through my 13th week.
The U/S well that is where things get a little tricky.
First the good news. The baby looks GREAT. The little one was measuring a day ahead (as of last week).
Now the cyst. It is 4.3cm. Their guidelines for the 'danger zone' size is 5cm. So At this point they will redo another u/s to check it in another couple of months. I was told what could happen.
- It can simply remain and resolve itself after I deliver.
-The cyst could get large enough to torque my tube. Basically twisting it over. The highest probably of that happening will occur at 10 weeks or after delivery.
-It could reasorb and be great.
-Or my least favorite. It could rupture. Any pain or fever I am supposed to go to the hospital immediately.
At this point there is no danger to the baby or myself. I am also clear to travel. Yippie!!! I just have to stop every 2 hours and stretch. No, really, doctors orders. Also no heavy lifting or straining.
The u/s also showed a subchorionic hemorrhage. It appears that might be the reason for the pink spotting. The blood for the most part should be reasorbed into the body though. This is something I am completely unfamiliar with. Other than that things are great.
My blood pressure is up again into the normal range. Last time it was a bit low. I have lost 10 pounds. I do not have morning sickness. I just think I am making much much better diet decisions.
Well that is about it... My novel for today hehe
