Complications

So this surrogacy thing isn't all laughs & giggles. Friday night - bright red blood. talk about freaking me out!!! but the doctor wasn't concerned, just told me to lay down & rest (because really, at 6 weeks what could he do anyways?) It stopped, but then at my ultra sound on Monday, no fetal heart beat, no fetal pole(not really sure what that means except its bad news....they couldn't find a baby) So I had to go get an HCG test today. I feel sorry for the poor phlebotomist. He told me not to be scared and of course my reaction was "Honey, don't worry about me being scared. I'm having a baby for someone else. My dresser looks like a drug addicts rec center except none of the meds will do anything fun." I guessed the gauge of needle he was using(got it right) warned him the vein rolled and laughed at the face he made. poor kid. Had no idea who he was dealing with. He probably went home and told his gf (or bf, i certainly don't discriminate) about the crazy lady that came in for a blood test today. So anyways, the doc got the results of the HCG test and now I have to drive to LA for him to do the ultrasound himself. I don't know if its a good or a bad thing. does he think the tech was incompetent or that there is a problem other than having lost the baby? Ugh. I hate the not knowing. Will post again after my ultrasound :/ peace out yo.
