Spent the night in the ER

So when I started my progesterone last Friday I started noticing my heart beat was irregular. Well last night I decided to go in because I was noticing it a lot. I got an EKG which was fine, then they hooked me up to monitors and were able to see what I was feeling. I have premature ventricular contractions which is probably being caused by the pregnancy. He told me is was harmless and my blood work came back good. If I wasn't pregnant I would be given a script for it, but it's not safe during pregnancy. I have to go see a cardiologist now. I'm only 7w3d and it's been rough already! lol

Glad to hear that they think it will be fine. I have PVC's too. I was diagnosed at 20. It was actually worse when I was younger. I haven't really been bothered by it in years.

I grabbed an electric fence when I was 10. That's what they think caused mine.
