Leah, I'm so sorry you had to go through such a scare. I think the fact that everything is closed and HCG levels are right is a good sign. Will keep you in my prayers.

Well I have made it through so far,and all signs today have been great so far no more bleeding,no cramping,a little pain but I think that may be because my stomach has been in knots. I am trying very hard to keep my focus on positive things. I talked with my boyfriend today and it was comforting,he knows that somethings up and is frustrated but told me whatever it is thats holding me back that he loves me and we will work it out. I told him that meant alot especially right now,but still of course did not tell him,I feel like I missed a really great opportunity there(sigh). I am really hoping that the baby is perfectly fine...I was looking at baby clothes online today and there is some pretty cute stuff.....I think now I will find out the gender if things are ok,so I can do some shopping.I am trying to be strong right now but I feel really bad,I have a question for Pat though,why should I not let them do an internal exam? I thought that was general protocal? The ER doc did one to check to see if my cervix was closed or not,and it was still closed.It was weird when I went to the ER everyone seemed to act like I had already had a miscarriage,except for the doc he told me to be cautiously optimistic. Well now I am just babbling,I should go for now but I am still hoping for the best.

Hi, Leah,

As long as you hang in there, I am encouraged. You have an exceptional doc. Too many of them are far too ready to intervene.

The reason I said to tell them not to do an internal exam is because they can introduce an infection if your cervix is somewhat open. Without the possibility of introducing an infection, you can take a few more chances with not doing anything. I realize the doctor won't like it, and you may have a little bit of a battle on your hands, and you may lose, but try anyway. Good luck! You remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,
Pat
