Got a call from the doctor today..she didn't mention anything about the baby but she did mention the cyst didn't look cancerous. BUT just to make sure again, they have again booked me for ANOTHER hour-long ultrasound next week. But what about the baby? She didn't mention it in her voicemail...but she did say to call her back on Monday if I had any other concerns. I found it really weird she didn't mention the baby..I guess that is not the priority right now. I can't wait till monday morning to call and ask again...or maybe the baby is still too small to see on ultrasound? I don't know.
I am really starting to hate these ultrasounds..everytime I have to hold my pee in for over an hour (they make you drink 6 cups before hand..SIX CUPS!)...then they press on your tummy...it really hurts, especially with the cyst and the pee. Then afterwards, they have to do an internal ultrasound..which sucks as well. ...I just want to get this over with!
Sorry to hear that. But for your reference, fetus can be detected by ultrasound as early as 4th week. (more difficult than later in the pregnancy of coz due to the small size). From a medical pt of view, many women lose their fetus without realizing they were pregnant in the first place (b/c of developmental defect, or maternal environment unsuitable). At least you found out about this one that you are having, and can do sth about it.
Finally the results from my last ultrasound have come back (my 3rd ultrasound so far). They found the gestational sac but no heartbeat....the doctor said it is still early so not detecting a heartbeat is not uncommon. So they have scheduled me for more blood test and also for ANOTHER ultrasound next week...
I have been feeling morning sickness for the past 2 weeks or so..but then today suddenly everything stopped. I had some cramping and back pain but no blood. Unfortunately, the doctors here will not do anything for you if they suspect you are miscarrying so early. Right now I am about 7 weeks...and they told me right out that there is nothing we can do if the fetus is dying. I'll just have to wait it out for my body to do it's thing....even if the baby is no longer alive, I don't think I can go to the hospital and arrange for a D&C (abortion)..because I've heard of terrible things of the surgery ruining a woman's body for future pregnancies
Just praying to god right now that my baby is fine...and everything will happen the way it should. I don't even care about the cyst anymore....I know it's nowhere near my fetus..but..sigh
so much on my mind..i'm starting to even dream about visits to the doctor
Baby needs at least 20 weeks for any realistic chance of survival. The doc is right, there's nothing you can do to help the baby at this stage.
As for surgery ruining ur chance of future preganancies, that depends on what kinda surgery la. In your case, just have to take out the cyst. If the wound does not heal properly, and forms scar tissue, it may block ur follopian tube (also depends on where in the uterus ur cyst is). But there are ways to correct that too. Don't worry too much at this stage. Your doc probably will tell u the risk involved when u have the surgery.
Doctor called me this morning, said my blood test results came back but wanted me to go in and see her for an actual consultation. So far, most of my contact with the doctor has been thru her secretary and by phone..except for the time I waited for her for 5 hours in the Emergency at the hospital. I totally freaked out and asked the secretary if my hormone levels were really bad and she actually said everything looks good (according to the doctor) but the doctor said it was time for another face-to-face consultation. I guess this time she will talk to me about my cyst...
hmm..lately for the past couple days I don't feel pregnant at all. It seems like all the symptoms disappeared but I'm still having good hormone levels? I really don't know what to think...guess I'll have to wait until next tuesday to find out...that's when my appointment is.
remember morning sickness varies in diff ppl. some women have it during their entire gestation period, while some only have it at the early stage. So maybe u are just over that morning sickness period?
Got back from the ultrasound and doctor's appointment yesterday.. saw baby on the ultrasound for the first time! I also saw the flashing heartbeat...which was great. The ultrasound technician printed off 2 pictures for me to keep...and this time, the ultrasound just took 10 minutes! I showed the pictures to my doctor and she said right now since the baby is alive and well, she doesn't want to touch the cyst YET. She said we will wait until I am 15 weeks to decide whether or not i need to go under surgery because the cyst SHOULD shrink around 12 weeks if it's a benign cyst. If it doesn't shrink, then we will need to proceed with surgery before 18 weeks...
I'm really hoping the cyst will shrink because I really don't want to have an operation..especially when the baby is already 4 months old. So now it's still all wait and see again...
wish me luck! have to wait until middle of June again...
It's been a long time since I've posted...and now I'm 13 weeks! The surgery is still undecided..I am going to go for another ultrasound (my 5th so far) next week...if the cyst has shrunk, I will not have to go with the surgery. If it is still big, they will setup my surgery within the next couple of weeks...
Last week I went to the doctor and she said she could still feel my cyst outside my tummy..which means it is still quite big. I am hoping it will go away on it's own.
Also, I had a brief (but very scary) bleeding situation a few weeks ago...I went to the bathroom and saw bright red blood...it was the first time I've seen such red blood (almost like a period) but I went to the ER and they said there was nothing they could do..and they could see the baby on the screen.
Hope I will pass the ultrasound and hope I won't get anymore bleeding!
Also, my morning sickness is finally gone..no more throwing up! Yay!
