oh the drama...

Well I have a whole saga on me! Lets see if I can give the shortened version....A few days before I got my bfp I was getting pains in my shoulder and down my chest a bit. I had read on the Internet(after I got my bfp), that it could be a sign of a tubal pregnancy. SO of course I freak out.This Wednesday I go to the ER with my concern. They did an u/s and baby(well just the sac at that point), was in my uterus nice and snug where she belonged. SO..phewww...all is OK with baby BUT...they decide(by my blood numbers), that I may have a blood clot in my left lung and that is what is causing me the pain. They can not run all the tests they would normally run because I am pregnant and they would cause harm to the baby. So going based on my blood counts, this is the prognosis they have come up with.Even though they can not say for sure that is what it is, they are treating me like it is a blood clot. Better safe than sorry. Because if they don't treat me, and it is a clot...well...it could kill me.So Wednesday and yesterday I got shots of lovenox, which is a anti coagulant. It will thin my blood and break up the clot. I questioned him about the drug and if it is harmful to baby and he told me that a lot of pregnant women have to have it when they are pg(for other reasons), and it is perfectly safe. I also questioned my neighbor who is a pharmacist and he researched it for me and said it is safe.I go back again today, and they will do my blood work again and see what my numbers are doing. If they decide that I need to continue treatment, I am pretty sure this will be something that I have to do every day my entire pregnancy. I think I cried for 2 days straight because of all of this. It just really scares me.Oh and the Dr said the cause of it...well it happens in pregnancy sometimes...1%...I think I need to go buy a lotto ticket!
