07-12-2008 - Had a D&C...

My mood while writing this blog:
Sad but relieved

Hello Friends,

Firstly, I'll appologise again for not replying to everyone. I started to, and then it just got too much. If I haven't replied to you, I am so sorry. I thank each and every one of you who took the time to write to me and offer kind words and advice. I really did value and appreciate all of it.

Well, I couldn't wait around any longer. I went back to the doctor last week as I still wasn't bleeding and there was no sign of any impending miscarriage. She sent me for another ultrasound and more blood tests. The second ultrasound showed that the baby had grown just a tiny bit since the first ultrasound but nothing significant, and there was a little fetal pole, but just no heart beat. The baby was only measuring about 7 weeks and I should've been around 10 weeks or so. Even if my dates were wrong, there should have been a heart beat at that stage. The blood results confirmed that my HCG levels were dropping even more.

Because the gestational sac and yolk sac were still perfect, the doctor couldn't tell if or when I would miscarry and was worried about the risk of infection so she refered me to a gyno. He recommended a D&C and after wrestling with myself about it I decided I needed to do it. I had the D&C on Friday. Needless to say I was distraught. I haven't had any pain or cramps at all, and only very little bleeding, so I guess that's good. I will always be upset about losing this baby, but I am relieved that after a couple of horrendous weeks it is finally over.

Thank you for your support...

I have been worried about you, I'm relieved to hear that you're holding up as good as can be expected at a time like this, I'm hear if you need me, I had to go through a D&C in March of this year and I know you feel like the doctor is taking a piece of your heart out. I will keep you in my prayers.XoXoXo Kia

Hi babe, I think you have done the right thing. You tried your best to wait it out and I think for your health both physically and emotionally, you made the right choice. Like you said, you will always feel pain in your heart when you think about this loss, but I promise you it gets easier with time x x
