This is my second pregnancy. My first pregnancy was smooth with zero spotting, so was a little shock to see some pinkish spotting at 5w4d (based on LMP, but I know I ovulate later)
It didn’t soak any pantyliner, just some staining of underwear and on the toilet paper after I wipe.The second day of spotting I decided to go kkh UOGC. Thinking it should be something small and all I needed was some pills to stabilize my pregnancy till my first appointment.
I was of course prepared for the worst too, since Mc is scientifically proven to be very common (easier to Mc than to strike toto)
anyway, dr did a u/s and probe, found nothing more than thicken uterus lining. She did a pelvic check and pulled out some reddish tissue the size of 20cent coin and told me “this is probably it, but it doesn’t look complete”. My hcg level was high at 12000. So she ordered a more detailed scan in case it’s ectopic pregnancy. Turns out, the sonographer managed to spot a 7mm empty sac.. the second doc who attended to me said that there is nothing we can do now, only time will tell if my pregnancy is viable or not - I’m diagnosed as uncertain viability.
I certain did not expect this roller coaster of emotion all in one afternoon. There is still hope but I didn’t wanna be too optimistic. The nauseous is hitting me hard now and it’s painful to know that all the retching may or may not result in a baby 8 months later.
I do hope to see some miracle stories pouring in to tide me through till my next scan, but I also hope this story helps those who are going through the agony of “uncertain viability” and how each toilet trips are so so hard, for fear of seeing more blood.
