25-8-2008 - The Aftermath

My mood while writing this blog: hurt

So It has been 11 days since I had to have the D&C. Everything was going pretty good. I had bleeding and cramping for about 3 days then I was fine... except then my breast became engoreged and I stated lactating. Finally my boobs arent killing me but I am still lactating. Yesterday Brian and I were at a monster truck show and I went to the ladies room and to my surprise I found a huge gush of bright red. We spent over 3 hours in the ER. They did a pelvic exame and put an IV in me to get me rehydrated. They did both a transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound. There is clearly blood in my uterus... left over from the D&C... infection... we have no idea. They are having me go back tomorrow to check if my HCG levels are still dropping. As of yesterday the levels were at around 400. Lets just hope that tomorrow they are still dropping. They also gave me crazy antibiotics and something to make my uterus cramp down and release the blood faster.

I hope this only lasts a couple of days. I would really like to just put this all behind me and move on but it seems that I keep hitting these speed bumps and detours.
