I want to thank my friend Angie for updating you ladies for me... Here is the story.... It was kind of hard to text it all to her..


Friday evening I started having really bad pains on my right side.. It got so bad at points I couldn't walk I just bent over in pain.. My DH called to check in on me and at this point I was in tears.. So he came home and took me to the ER.. I was admitted in the ER at around 8pm.... In the ER they did blood work and got an IV started... They told me I was not allowed to eat or drink anything.. They ordered the transvaginal ultrasound... When the lady came in to do that she spent 45 mins doing it.. It was the most uncomfortable 45 mins ever!!!! She was spending alot of time on my right side and kept asking me my dates and if I was for sure I was that far along, and even wound up looking in my abdomen from my sides... I knew it wasn't good news.. The ER DR comes in like 20 mins later, and says it is not good news.. He said from what it looked like to him that I was having another eptopic, and that my tube had either already ruptured or was rupturing, and that there was some blood in my abdomen from what they could tell... That they were going to admitt me and that I will be seeing an OB in the morning, but they were going to monitor me all night.... So around midnight I was finally taken up to my room and set up.. They got an IV with fluids started, and did all the vitals and more blood work around 3am.. Then at 7 am the OB came in .. She did an internal exam and felt my abdomen on the inside.. Talk about uncomfortable.. Then she pushed down on my side and asked if it hurt. I told her just cramping not alot of pain.. So after that she said that my HCG levels were 60 lastnight and that if my tube had indeed ruptured that I would yelling in pain when she did that.. So that was good news.. She said it looked like a regular miscarriage but what had her concerned was the spot in my right tube next to my ovary.. She said they couldn't determine that it was the baby or a cyst, that it measured small so if it was the baby I was off on my dates. I was positive when I O'd so I knew how far along I should be.... So she gave me the option of methotrexate or doing the operation.. She was pushing me for the opertion but I didnt want it unless it was absolutely necessary.. So I told her I wanted to do the methotrexate and see if that works.. Deep down I was scared to death of the operation and being put under and all, and if my tube hadn't ruptured like the ER Dr thought then I wanted to take the easier approach.. I think she was mad about my decision casue it took her all freaking day long to finally get the order in to get me the shot.. She kept telling my nurse she didn't want to come back to the hospital.. Laziest Dr I have ever seen..She was getting ready for vacation.. So finally around 5pm my nurse came in.. I didn't like her either she was lazy I had to get moody with her she wouldn't give me anything I asked for or let me eat even after she knew I wasn't getting surgery.. The nurse said my numbers still showed I was pregnant (DUH already knew that), and that they did go down to 53 from the night before... Said that once again she was waiting on the pharmacy.. Finally around 6:45 I got the injections.. One in each hip.. The lady told me that they needed me to stay atleast another hr just to make sure my vitals were good after the injections.. Then I was finally able to get food for the first time since my few bites around noon Friday.. I finally got that around 8:45pm... After fighting with them to let me out, and speaking to the head nurse, she made one call to my DR, and got my Dr's approval to discharge.. So I got home late lastnight.. I have been doing ok today.. Normal cramping and crap, and the occasssional side pain but it was decreased alot.. Thanks for all the support and prayers.....

Thanks for taking the time to read this all.. Sorry it was so long..

[MeganMomof5]

i'm sorry this is happening to you Lindsey They are so horrible at the ER...When I went in for my bleeding they treated me awful and didn't care...That's why I never went in when I was having a miscarriage....I hope your feeling better soon, and I hope that you get some answers too...did they do any blood tests on you?

[stargatemommy]

I am so sorry! I am glad you didn't need surgery though. I hope you feel better soon...

[ldovey83]

[dreamer10]

[~LaurenNoel~]

[KAB]

Lindsey, my heart just breaks for you. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this, but I am glad that you are ok and didn't lose your tube. I'll be praying for you, I hope you will have a quick physical recovery.

[.:Shortcake:.]

Hugs hun! I'm so glad you still have your tube but I'm so sorry your having to go through this

[missy123]

I am sorry you had to go through this... Feel better soon!

[tobi4]

Lindsey, Im so sorry you are going through this, and that the hospital staff were so awful. Its bad enough going through this, but to have people who are suppose to care be so callous is just unacceptable. Hugs hun, I hope things get better soon.

Lindsey I'm glad to hear you're home and doing better... (our hospital experiences sound so extremely similar! fricken HORRIBLE) there doesn't seem like any silver lining, but honey thank GOD it was caught so early! I say this with love having been thru it, I know.... but Lindsey you truly are LUCKY... very very lucky. It breaks my heart to know that you're going thru this right now and as I sit here typing you this I'm crying... fighting thru my tears to telling you things that I know I myself may not have wanted to hear when I was going thru it. Unfortunately I wasn't as lucky, BUT that's my point you are... in a small way and being treated with methotrexate you preserve your fertility wheras with surgery it can cause scar tissue build up in your tube which can lead to blockage/reduced fertility.

I hope you know I mean every word with love ... we've been here together and have been thru ALLOT... a whole lot. I sure wish that this wasn't the way we met, but I'm so glad to know you.... Please keep us updated honey

I'm so sorry for your loss Lindsey.

[SkyBaby]

I'm so sorry sweetie!! Thank God that tube didn't rupture! I was so worried about you. It's wonderful to hear you're doing better.

[Pitridge]

It breaks my heart to hear that you are going through this again. HUGS

[ldovey83]

Ladies thank you all so much for the kind words, and I know they are all said with love.. I am so greatful to have all you wonderful ladies to be here for me in my time of need.... Even though I am not going to be trying for a few months I am going to stick around cause you ladies are my family, and I will not be comfortable anywhere else...

Celena thank you very much.. I am so glad that my tube didn't rupture and I didn't need the surgery.. She said they would've removed the whole tube anyway.. That was another reason I pushed for the methotrexate round.. HUGS....

[MamaRN]

Lindsey I am so very sorry that you had to go through that. I am relieved to hear that your tube was saved though! ((BIG HUGS)) to you. When do you see your OB for a follow up, and do you know what the next steps are?
