Completed our D&E yesterday
Hi ladies!
We unfortunately went in for an US at 7 weeks and 5 days and saw no fetus only a sac. Our doctor said perhaps I wasn't as far along as I thought and to come back in one week.
But I know my body and I knew this wasn't our time. The Sunday before so right about about 7 weeks I started spotting and cramping and almost immediately my breast tender subsided and were no where near as sore as they had been the previous weeks.
We went back at 8 weeks 5 days and the US had not changed. We discussed our options.
At first I wanted to give my body the chance to pass it naturally so I waited that week inbetween US plus the weekend and nothing had changed. It was pretty draining knowing your pregnant but the pregnancy won't be progressing. Also that I could miscarry at any given time made me feel very vulnerable.
We decided to do a D&E yesterday and it was the easiest procedure. It was done in my doctors office, I was given medicine to help me relax and my SO got to be in the room and hold my hand. I think it was important for his own closure too. I know what you can read or imagine makes this process sound like medevil torture but it was far from it!
I woke up today with a tremendous amount of closure and ready to start trying again once my body gets back on cycle!
I just wanted to share my journey and kisses to all the ladies out there wherever you are in yours!
