I had another ultrasound today, to check on the status of the subchorionic hemorrhage/hematoma (SCH). The good news, again, is that Bug is doing well. He has a very strong heart beat, and is now measuing two days ahead!
Unfortunately, the SCH is also growing. :( It is about 4 cm now, and it is bigger than the gestational sac. That is not good.
We still do not have the most important piece of information - ie. where it is relative to where the placenta is developping. The placenta is not visible yet and therefore, my RE says that she cannot be certain where the bleed is relative to it. She also can't tell whether the sac is at all detached or detaching from the uterine wall. In addition, because the first ultrasound tech didn't note where the "vanishing" twin's sac was located, we also cannot tell where the SCH is relative to where s/he was.
So, I'm essentially just left with the knowledge that while I have a healthy baby in there, I also have a ginormous blood clot, right beside it.
I don't go back for another ultrasound until August 24. Until then, all I can do is wait, and pray. Pray that the bleed is reabsorbed or at least gets smaller; and above all else, pray that Bug stays strong and healthy, and that the SCH doesn't affect him.
I just want my Bug to be okay. I don't know what I'll do if I lose him too.
