Inconclusive

That's what the OB said today.

He took our history, all the test results and then had a look. He had a really long look with that instrument we all love (nicknamed the dildo-cam), and there doesn't seem to be anything in my tubes or anything. There also doesn't seem to be anything in my uterus, but my cervix is still closed.

He basically said that I should do another blood test tomorrow and see if it is still increasing. If it is decreasing then we do have a problem.

If what I have to lose is minimal, then my cervix may not need to open much, so the fact my cervix is closed is not significant.

He isn't worried about the bad blood tests - said that they could be higher but as long as the HCG is increasing we still have hope.

There... I said the bad word - Hope.

He said if we had implanted late then that might be why we are not seeing a gestational sac anywhere yet. And he said that studies have shown that people who Ovulate later do tend to implant even later than others, so that is a possibility.

He said that as there is a history of twins in the family that it is also possible that we are losing one of a set of twins.

Unfortunately only time and more blood tests will tell.

He said he cannot see any evidence of ectopic pregnancy which is a big relief.

Bleeding in early pregnancy is common and sometimes that is combined with cramping, especially around implantation.

As the pain is not really bad. and the bleeding is minimal (and he said it was quite diluted bleeding as well which is good), that all we can do is WAIT.

Yeah like I am good at waiting.

I can't say my level of hope has increased any. I still think this is all doomed, but I will be a good girl and try to remain positive, and do my test tomorrow and see him Tuesday and leave my skeptical nature under wraps until then.

It is going to be a very long weekend!
