On the 11th, Brad and I had been at the Bellevue mall shopping. We went to a Starbucks near by for a drink. I had been a nervous wreck and freaking out at every little bathroom trip fearing I'd see more blood. Well while at Starbucks I had to go to the bathroom. And there was blood... lots of it. I freaked out.
We went and sat in the car and I cried and cried. I just knew that this pregnancy was over. That was it... no baby this time. I was certain of it. Brad convinced me to call the doctor. It was a Sunday so we had to leave a message with their voice service and wait for a call back. He was very quick and called back a few minutes later. I told him about the blood and he said all he could do at this point was to get me another blood test to see where my levels where now compared to the few days before. Either that or I waited till my doctor's appointment on the 21st.
Well I couldn't wait. I needed to know something. So down we drove to Seattle to the hospital Lab and got another blood draw.
I truly was convinced it was all over. We waited for the results and the next morning (the 12th) got a call that the results where in. I was figuring the HCG levels had either dropped or not gone up much. But instead I heard they had gone up to 1302!! I remember hanging up and feeling numb. I now didn't know what to think or feel. I was still bleeding... which couldn't be good. But the levels were going up as they should which WAS good.
We decided all we could do now was wait until my appointment, hold our breath, and try and relax... yeah... not easy.
