A follow-up trip to the doctor

Well, the miscarriage is finally done. It seemed to have stopped yesterday and today I'm feeling much better. The physical pain I have been through the past few days has just been outrageous. And then there is the emotional pain my husband and I have both gone through...awful.

I'm doing much better though. I'm thankful I was able to miscarry on my own without having to have surgery to remove anything. The sadness and grief comes and goes but mostly I'm looking toward the future and thinking about the baby that will one day be in our arms.

We went to the doctor today (exactly one week since my ultrasound) and talked to the doctor for a little while. I was feeling so anxious before the appointment and felt like I would be sick. I think I was mainly dreading going to the place that gave me such awful news last week but it ended up being just fine. I'm down a couple of pounds so that was exciting, hoping to keep on that track! We asked (because I know I'm anxious) when we could start trying again and he told us immediately. He said something pretty funny but you would have to know my RE to see the hilarity in it honestly. To some it might just seem weird. But anyway, we are really happy that he gave us the go ahead to start trying again. I was nervous about that but he said go for it. So YAY!

They took 4 vials of blood today to run some different tests even though I've only had one miscarriage now (normally the tests aren't run until 3 or 4 mc). He doesn't want anything to be wrong and want me to have to go through it again if he can help it so he's going on and doing the tests now. He took enough blood to do an antibodies test and also I will have an HSG done after my next cycle. I'm not too excited about them shooting dye up my uterus but hey, if it is a test to help not miscarry again, I'll do it over and over! And then, here comes the clomid again. I'm feeling extremely optimistic.

Whew, I think that is all for now. I should know my lab results in the next day or two so I'm ready to know what those show. I'm praying my pregnancy hormone levels are negative so I don't have to have more blood taken next week. But if I do, so be it. I'm becoming a pro!

I'll update again when I know something new. Thanks for all the prayers, they help so much. I have an incredible family and the best of friends...so thank you.
