So here I am 7 weeks after the miscarriage, after a trip to the ER, weekly ultrasounds and blood test, FINALLY they decide to do a D&C! Not that I'm dying to have surgery or anything, but I so wish they would have done this to begin with. It's crazy that 7 weeks after a miscarriage I still test positive on a pregnancy test. It's hard enough going through losing a baby and everything that goes along long with that, but to be dragged through the mud for this long afterward just creates a whole new issue, all I've wanted to do this entire time is move on and look ahead with hopes of getting pregnant soon, but every time I've gone to the Doc, they just keep telling me to wait another week, it just reminds me of everything all over again and again... Now, with a sigh of relieve I know there is an end in sight, I'll be having a D&C today at noon. They want me to be on birth control for 2 months to protect the lining of my uterus and then we can start trying again, which when I first heard, I cried (as I do a lot these days), but then realized, at least I have a definite date when this will all be over!
On a lighter note, as a perfect cheerer upper, we are going to Europe!!! Yay, London (thanks to my awesome friend Shel-dog for letting us stay at her place) and Paris! It's been a dream of mine for so long and I couldn't go due to my awesome/ridiculous immigration status, but now it's happening and it will be a dream come true, going to Europe with Nick, seriously it can't get better then that! I'm so excited to spend a whole 2 weeks with Nick anywhere, without going to work or everyday distractions, but this will be the best vacation yet! I will update with pictures when we come back. xoxo
