miscarriage followup
After stopping meds on the 28th, the miscarriage started naturally on the 2nd. It was difficult but manageable, and by days 4-5 I was feeling much more like my normal self. My hubby has been out of town for two weeks. Our kids have been a wonderful help to me, as has been our church family and friends. The daily texts and calls, meals, hugs and love shown to me have been so meaningful.
This morning, Wednesday the 12th, I had my follow up ultrasound. Physically, I'm doing fine. No "byproducts of conception" were left in my uterus. It is a relief that no D&C will be needed. I've been cleared for us to try again in the coming months.
Emotionally and mentally, I'm doing ok. It helps that my IM and I are sticking close through this. While I can never fully relate to losing a child of my own DNA, I am able to put myself into her shoes as much as possible, and carry this burden along side her.
We'll know more details about our next cycle in the coming weeks. Nothing will happen until my first post-miscarriage period in January. This will allow me to enjoy the holidays off any medication. My husband will be home soon and I can focus on my family for a few weeks. IM and I hope to get together over dinner at the end of the month. We look forward to putting this behind us and getting our next cycle started in 2019!
