Well, I had my scan last week and it showed a blighted ovum (as you all probably know). I finally started bleeding today and I am really scared.
I remember what this week was like last time and I just really don't want to go through it again. The not knowing when I'll pass the clots is awful, and I have a funeral to go to on Saturday which is going to be really special and hard for me.... I'm worried that the worst might happen then. Last time, from the day I started bleeding, it took 5 days till I passed the clots, and Saturday is 5 days from today. 
It's been 62 days since my last period started, so today would have been the day AF was due had I not got pregnant, so I am really just trying to tell myself it's just AF, it's just AF.... but I know what it's going to be like. I'm feeling really down about this, and about losing my friend. I kind of feel like I am in a big black hole at the moment. Sucks.

Laurie you poor thing. Such a sad time, my only advice is too look after yourself extra well over in the times to come.

Hugs Laurie! Would you consider having a d and c? Emotionally it might help you heal, it kind of makes it a more finite process, and it would help relieve some of your anxiety about Saturday. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| Big hugs. It isn't nice. Be extra kind to yourself this week - lots of glossy magazines, time lying on the couch and chocolate! Sending you a HUGE hug. |

Oh Laurie, I have no words to say what I want. Huge to you, take time just for you, look after yourself. It's such a horrible feeling (understatement).

Thanks everyone for all the hugs!
Emma, I tried to arrange a D&C but the earliest they could do it would be Monday next week, which doesn't really help me at all. Guess I will just have to hope for the best! It's still really light, and brown spotting and hasn't become any heavier. Time will tell. |

Hey guys,
Thanks again for all the words of support. I went to hospital yesterday to have a D&C. Got there at 8am in the morning (having not eaten since dinner the night before) and waited there the whole darn day. They eventually sent me home at 8:30pm, having not had the procedure as too many more urgent cases came in. I was so starving and grumpy by the time I went home. Now there's a day of my life I will never get back again! It was so boring..... Still scared of miscarrying tomorrow, but the bleeding is still really light so I am hoping it will hold off a bit longer. |

Oh Laurie - that totally sucks that they kept you waiting (and unable to eat) all day! I know how bad it was for me waiting from 8am til 2:30 when I finally got called in to start getting ready for the D&C then I remember how hungry I was after I came out of recovery.
I hope that tomorrow goes well and the bleeding doesn't get too bad before MOnday - I started bleeding lightly on the Monday and didn't have D&C til the Friday. Big cyber hugs to you chick, I'm thinking of you! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD#1 Sept 08 DD#2 Oct 09 |
