Dear Munchy,

Like Starbright, I didn't get any hot flushes either, but I was a missed m/c, so only had symptoms after the D&C (I was lucky - very mild symptoms afterwards, virtually no cramps, very little/light bleeding). I did end up getting a heavy cold (hmm sure that was connected to my emotional state) and just felt generally lousy - don't know if that's similar to your hot flushes. I think your body & emotions are going through so much right now that it's easy to get more run down that you realise. So I also agree that you should take as much time as you need. I don't think there's any "right" timeframe that you should feel like you should be back at work - it's about what you need, and what feels right at the time.

My heart goes out to you waiting till Weds, that must be really hard for you wondering if it will happen naturally or waiting for the D&C. I'm just glad for you that it's booked in. One day at a time, cry, eat chocolate (if you like it!), do whatever you need to do. I'm sending you big and take care of yourself.
