The ultrasound technician looked at it, then proceeded to explain to me that since <i>all</i> we had to go on for dating was the date of my last menstrual period, what <i>must</i> be going on was that I just had the date wrong and was actually at six weeks rather than ten weeks.<br /><br />I'd read "Taking Charge of your Fertility" and had been charting, and was in fact pretty confident of my date of conception. I'd been exhausted (for no other apparent reason) for a little over six weeks. I had a positive home pregnancy test from six weeks before. I had a positive doctor's-office pregnancy test from five weeks before. So in fact, I was pretty sure that conception had been more than four weeks previously. So I got to find out that I was miscarrying from a patronizing and wrong ultrasound technician.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580165055409595829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299081402172544281.post-6839101395147529162009-11-06T13:56:00.674-08:002009-11-06T13:56:00.674-08:00'piqued' not 'peaked' :)though you...'piqued' not 'peaked' :)though your curiosity could have been at its peak :)<br />great blog!The Booklodytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10590742340305293547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299081402172544281.post-55626671313062427882008-06-23T14:14:00.000-07:002008-06-23T14:14:00.000-07:00My MIL does DNA testing... she gets stories like t...My MIL does DNA testing... she gets stories like this aaaalllll the time.
