spotting
i woke up today with something that i can only define as a "hangover" but it wasn't even similar. i had three drinks over the course of 8 hours last night, slept for seven hours, and drank tons of water. i had no headache, but constant nausea. i imagine this is what vertigo feels like. as my day progressed, it subsided, but i could barely keep my food down. i'm not sure why this happened, all i can assume is that my body is more "sensitive" to abuse right now, because morning sickness does not usually occur until the second trimester (13 - 24 weeks).
then this evening i experienced mild spotting that only lasted for about thirty minutes. we spent that time on google researching what it means to basically conclude that i have to call the doctor tomorrow. it could be an infection, an ectopic pregnancy (where the fetus develops outside of the uterus), or signs of an oncoming miscarriage. all of which would probably cost more than the abortion. and take more time out of my summer than a weekend. and cause more serious and permanent damage to my body. and pose a much higher risk to my fertility. overall, it sounds like bad news.
if i do need to have an exam, i don't know when they will be able to schedule it - i'm going out of town with my family from tuesday to tuesday. that is why the Big Day isn't for two weeks. so i guess the next step is simply to call tomorrow and find out.
i did some serious budgeting today and am going to be fine to pay for the abortion, even if i'm Rh-negative (at which point i will require that special shot). i'm feeling more relaxed about the whole situation. i have the most amazing support group a girl could ask for. <3
