Well, have some new updates. Since last time I wrote, I went in to see my doctor on the 25th and she did tell me that I have a Blighted Ovum. She says it is normal and happens in a lot of miscarriages. She then told me I can wait 2 weeks to see if my body can miscarry it on it's own or schedule a D & C. I decided to wait the two weeks and see what happens. That was on a Friday.
Over that weekend, I can't stop thinking about it and decided I want to do the D & C now. I just felt like my body wasn't going to pass it by itself and wanted to feel better. Called my doctor that Monday morning and she wants to see me on Wednesday.
I go in and sign a couple consent forms and they are trying to schedule the D & C surgery for Tuesday the 5th. They give me a lab to get some blood work done. They called me the next day and said they can get it scheduled for Tuesday the 5th. It's so weird to say this but I was soooooo relieved. I can finally start over and feel better again.
Fast forward to Monday night. I WAS FREAKING OUT. All I kept thinking about was the surgery and how it was going to feel and the waiting was horrible. The surgery was @ 6am so that made me happy so I could get it out of the way early.
Fast forward to Tuesday and Hubby and I get to the hospital, I get changed into the gown, get into the surgery room and get put out. Next thing I knew, I was in Recovery and it was DONE. It was definitely bittersweet. I felt sad but relieved it was over. Stayed in Recovery for about 2 hours and then I was out. Got a few prescriptions for the pain and antibiotics. Came home and had some bleeding and cramping.
Fast forward to Wednesday. My entire body is COMPLETELY SORE. I felt like I was run over by a dump truck. It hurt to swallow, neck, back, arms, legs all hurt. I couldn't believe it and it scared the shit out of me. Looked it up and a lot of people experienced it and said it was most likely from the anesthesia. Slept most of the day and just tried to get better. Bleeding wasn't too bad and cramping was minimal.
Well, today is Thursday and I feel so much better. Still bleeding but very little cramping. I had a little more energy today, cleaned my room and ready to go back to work (can't believe I'm saying that.haha). Cleaned up the living room and noticed all my pregnancy books were left out along with the belly book that I already started writing in. Hubby and I started bawling crying and just held each other. It was time to say goodbye to our Angel Christmas baby. It was like a weight got lifted from my shoulders and felt ready to move on.
So, Hubby and I will be trying again after 1 cycle. I'm a little nervous to be trying again and hoping it goes smoothly for us the 2nd time around. It took us 10 long months to get pregnant so maybe it will be quicker since I will be more fertile this time? I will try and think positive.
So, until next time and hopefully I will be updating with good news!!
XOXO
