Follow Up Appointment Results

Hi all, I had to choose whether to do another dose of Cytotec or a D&C. I opted for another dose of Cytotec. So I am just waiting for the last of this to pass and I go for another check on Wednesday. This is like a nightmare that I cannot wake up from. Also, my Dr said she always recommends waiting for 3 regular cycles to TTC again, so I'm discouraged by that.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had my D&C today. I totally understand what you mean about it feeling like a nightmare. It really doesn't feel real for awhile. But I promise you that things will get better. It is something that will never truly leave you, but hope does return. I'm sorry your doctor wants you to wait longer. My doctor just wants one cycle, and only so we can date the pregnancy better. There are studies out there going either way. Hang in there. Sending prayers for strength and healing!

jmc11511 I'm sorry you're still waiting for it to end, that's so hard *hug*

I know the 3 cycle wait can be frustrating but think of it this way, it's giving your body a chance to heal so it's in a better positon for when you start TTC again.

The TTC journey is a frustrating one at times, when I was benched I tried to look at it in a positive light. I took the time to heal mentally and spent extra attention on making my relationship stronger with MH. Sometimes we forget about the relationship when TTC.

Good luck and we are here for you!

nikolie93 Thanks. I know you're right. DH and I had a trip planned next weekend for my birthday. When all of this happened I considered canceling it. However, I think it will be a good thing for me/us to go and get away from the house and have some time to ourselves. We are thinking we may go on another trip to the same place for our anniversary, which, if all goes well, will coincide with after my third cycle after the loss. I think that would be really good to take off some of the stress and fear I'm sure I'll feel when we do start TTC again.

So for now, I'm just waiting and praying that my next ultrasound shows that everything has passed and I don't have to do any other interventions. And I'm trying to just take one day, one moment at a time and enjoy my family. I appreciate everyone's welcoming here and the support. It's nice to have you ladies on this journey with me.

I definitely think keeping the plans for your trip is a good idea!

I have my FX that everything passes naturally and quickly.
