I could use some support

[jmc11511]

I went for my follow up lab work today and will go for my follow up appointment tomorrow. I am still bleeding pretty heavily so I was concerned that my Dr would not do the exam. I spoke with my case manager and she said since I am still bleeding I may end up having to either repeat the Cytotec or go for a "cervical intervention" to clean everything out. I am freaking out. I just want this to be over so I can take the next step and start to feel kind of normal. Anyone have experience with this and can tell me something that will keep me from freaking out until my appointment tomorrow?

I don't have any experience with that but wanted to say sorry that you're going through it and offer some *hugs*

I'm sorry you're going through this. When they say "cervical intervention" I believe they are referring to a D&C (there is an advice/experience thread if you wanted to read about other's experiences with this). I can understand that you want this to be over, and it's your personal choice if your doctor recommends choosing either a second round of meds, or a d&c.
If you're hesitant to have a d&c, I personally would ask the doctor how likely is it that after a second round of meds everything will be done, and no d&c would be needed? Does he think the second round of meds would be sufficient, or does he feel that after one failed round, a d&c is the better option to ensure everything has been removed? Then take it from there.
Good luck hun, and let us know what they say.

ETA: It's hard not to freak out, especially when you're grieving, and have so many emotions and don't know what is going on. For tonight, I'd say watch movies, read, do a craft, play a game, whatever you need to do to distract your mind. It's not easy, and you will feel anxious because it's normal. But try not to stress out. A long, hot shower with music always helps me!

mistabinx gives good advice

And also a big ((hug)) from me.  Good luck at the appointment and with your decision.
