I had another ultrasound this morning and to my untrained eye, it didn't look much like anything had changed since the last one. The tech didn't say much either and we were sent back out to the waiting room until my follow up appointment with the ARNP. She came in and said unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a live pregnancy progressing. We pressed for more information and she explained (I am paraphrasing of course) that based on the size of the gestational sac, I should be 8 weeks along, and at that point there should clearly be some cardiac activity going on. We talked about what's next - wait and see or D&C and I asked if I should keep taking the progesterone or what. She consulted with another Dr. for a minute and came back and recommended stopping the progesterone since that could be dragging this out. And we made an appointment with my doctor for Wednesday at 2pm. She said 3 consecutive losses puts me in "a whole new category" and we should pow wow with Dr. H. Seriously, she actually said "pow wow". I also got a shot of Rhogam. And now I am at work.
I also got a call back this morning from my other doctor with my lab results. They said everything looked good/normal, except my thyroid which was just a little low. Aha! She prescribed 50 micrograms of Synthroid (?) daily and recommended a recheck in 6-8 weeks. So I guess that is something to talk with the doc about on Wednesday.
