New Reproductive Issues
I don't know where else to post this today. But I'm bummed.
Let me preface this with: I thought I had taken my last birth control pill ever on Saturday at the end of the pill pack. Josh and I had decided to use the Fertility Awareness Method (from the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility) because, since the miscarriage, even high dose hormonal birth control is not cutting it for me. Lots of bleeding, etc. Beyond that, we have decided to "ttc without actively trying" starting in December. So, I had an appointment with my doc today to go over my menstrual chart. Not good. He took one look at my chart and said, "Are you on 35?" I said, "No, 50." He then got that concerned doctor look on his face. He asked what Josh and I were planning. I said that we were going to begin FAM and use condoms until I got the hang of temping and checking CM. He said, "No. I need you on HBC for another full month." Why? Oh. I have a transvaginal ultrasound now scheduled for next Tuesday followed by a D&C to look at my uterus. Why? He's worried about polyps or cysts. Or something else completely wrong. I just want to sit and cry. These things are not supposed to happen to me. I know that I'm grateful for a doctor who is thorough. I know this. But I am still angry tonight. I want to have never lost the pregnancy with Rose. I want to be fourteen weeks pregnant. I want to feel the swell of my belly. I just needed to vent. My Husband attempted to understand but he's the very "it will be okay," reassuring type of personality. And tonight I just wanted someone else to say, "Yeah, it sucks." Throw a pity party with me.

Totally sucks! Fertility Issues Suck Royally! Testing sucks too. Sometimes it really really sucks to be a woman.
I need a new word for "sucks". Oh! It just blows.... (((HUGS)))

Seriously. Sucks. Blows. Bites. What else?
*hugs to healingfeeling* Ya know, I'm nervous about the stupid D&C. It figures that I go through a miscarriage without needing one... and then have to go through one anyway. I WANT TO CUSS. Or cry. Or both.

I've had the transvaginal u/s before... not exactly my cup of tea.
Blah. I'm still blah.

(((HUGS))) Jenna...I am so sorry. I will be praying for you. I've had a d&c (not for the same reasons) but if you need to ask questions or someone to ease your fears let me know.

Honestly I don't remember a whole lot about the procedure itself except for the noise of the suction machine. You will be sedated through IV meds (usually) and to me it felt like bad menstrual cramps. I felt that way for a few days afterwards.

I remember the nurse holding my hand and the anethaties (sp?) stroking my head.

Jenna -
I've had more sonograms than any woman who's been pregnant. I never have. It just never worked out for me. Anyway, I had a D & C and a hysteroscopy. Please ask your doc to do the hysteroscopy. They'll get a much better picture of what your innards look like and what's going on. As to how it feels, well, I was put to sleep. I woke up a little tired, but I felt fine. The next day I was very crampy. I took 800 mg of ibuprofen regularly for the next 1 1/2 - 2 days and that was it. I had absolutely no bleeding or any problems. And it DOES SUCK, BITE, BLOW.
