Dodged a bullet....it's finally over

[eme]

So I had my final appointment with my OB on Monday, she was concerned with how much blood I had lost and the fact that I was still bleeding a little bit. She prescribed Misoprostol (sp?) to help me pass the last few clots that were still hanging around and wanted me to have a follow up ultrasound on Wednesday.

She said if I hadn't passed all the blood by then she was going to schedule a D&C (to which I would have little say over) because she was growing concerned about infection. She also said I had become anemic and prescribed iron pills as well. So I started the misoprostol that day and within 6 hours passed two more golf ball sized clots, had a little more bleeding and then nothing. Went to the ultrasound on Wednesday and there was nothing left! It was odd to feel so excited about an empty screen. So thankful I didn't have to end up having a D&C after all I went through to do things naturally!!!

My bleeding finally completely stopped at the two week mark exactly. DH and I were even able to DTD for the first time in 2 MONTHS!!! And of course, I feel ovulation pains already today haha I doubt (??) I'm ovulating so soon after the miscarriage ending, that would be nuts! But I'm relieved to finally be able to move forward from all of this. Worked out for the first time yesterday in two months too....it felt great!

I'm relieved for you I felt the same after my empty scan too.
I passed the baby and most of everything 4 weeks and 4 days ago but had retained placenta for 11 days after that which luckily came out naturally.
I had had spotting today which is the first sign of my period today so ovulation can happen pretty quickly after.
I had a few tearful and hormonal days following the last few clots, even after a few days of feeling good so take it easy. Xx

I'm glad it's over for you and you can move forward. I know what you mean about the empty screen.

Awww I'm so glad for you that you can finally move forward! I know exactly how you feel as I've been feeling that way, too. I'm STILL spotting (UGH!) and praying that it ends soon as I'm sick of seeing it and being reminded of my loss and not to mention wanting to feel normal and DTD with DH again and feel that closeness again. Sigh. So I can definitely relate and I'm so glad you didn't have to have the D&C, Eme. Enjoy but also be careful not to do too much too soon! Take care of yourself hun!
