Hrm...
I received a call from the doctor's office today. Apparently, according to my lab tests, I have an asymptomatic bladder infection. Oh, joy. So, I got my script filled and get to start that tonight. Skippy.
So, today was my first ultrasound. By my LMP, I'm about 14 weeks in, but according to the ultrasound, there's only about eight weeks' worth of development--and again, the heartbeat wasn't showing up on it. So, there's a distinct possibility of miscarriage. All told, with so much stress on me recently, I wouldn't be too terribly surprised. However, eight weeks development isn't necessarily impossible considering my cycle's wacky habits and my personal activities, so just because the ultrasound wasn't showing things as they ought to be doesn't necessarily mean that anything's horribly wrong.
Just to be sure, though, the clinic is going to do a second trans-vaginal ultrasound on Tuesday afternoon, just to see if anything's changed. If not, then a miscarriage is almost certain, and they'll schedule me for a D&C later in that week, just to get everything cleaned out and the plumbing can get itself back on track.
To be honest, at the moment I feel rather ambivalent about the possibility of miscarriage. On one hand, I was just starting to get kind of excited about the possibility of mommyhood. However, I can't exactly say I'm too surprised considering my recent stress levels, and it'd certainly take away all the "Well, NOW what do I do?" stuff. Of course, since the stress has mostly come from my folks, C.J.'s folks are going to hold my parents solely responsible for it. Somehow, that amuses me. ^_^;
Either way, I'm still planning to get out of my folks' before my 21st birthday.
