8-10 weeks

Not much has changed in these few weeks.

Bleeding got substantially worse at the 8th week ...bled heavily Sat, Tues, then Weds morning to where the blood soaked through my pants and heavy absorbency pad and onto my driver's seat as I was on my way to the hospital. Doctor said the hematoma has grown and he was worried about my heavy bleeding and took my blood count. Anemia was negative. Then he took my HCG again but didn't mention why. He said it was normal so I didn't bother asking.

9th week, went in for my weekly scan and progesterone injection. He sent me to the image center to get a better picture of the hematoma because he was worried about the masses that are forming in there. He was worried about a molar pregnancy. The scans showed nothing alarming. Just blood getting older and more solid. They finally gave me a measurement of the hematoma. It was 6.9cm x 5cm x 6cm, and considered large. But good news was that I was actually not bleeding or spotting. I had been clear for 2 days and continued to be clear for another 3 days. Baby was measuring to be about 10 weeks.

Until at around 10 weeks, started brown spotting again but nothing too significant. Just really dark old blood.

My next appointment is on Friday when I'm 11 weeks. Hoping to hear hematoma shrunk.
