Hi all
Hi everyone
Well, here I am, never in my wildest dreams would I think that this would happen to me!
I just found out on Thursday that my 10 week pregnancy was a blighted ovum. This is after a chemical pregnancy in August at 5 weeks. I had my d&c on Friday and I guess the preg hormones are starting to drop because Im starting to feel pretty damn emotional.
AnnaBelle, I swear I could have written your little rant. It seems everyone I know who decides to get pregnant, go off the pill and in 2 months they are pregnant. We have been trying 13 months now and I feel like Im just about to lose it emotionally. My close girlfriend is 12 weeks pregnant and I had to get my other friend to call and tell her about the blighted ovum because I just couldnt do it. I avoided a Christmas party yesterday with all our close friends as 3 girls there are pregnant. I just dont know how Im going to get through the festive season this year.
We have had all the standard tests and everything is normal. Had an appointment with a FS in October who said we should just keep going the way we are as he cant see what the problem is. (At the time I was pg but didnt know it). Well, obviously there is a frickin problem because wouldnt I be pregnant and staying pregnant if there wasnt? I dont want to hear, "Well, obviously you can get pregnant, so just keep trying, blah blah blah!"
How long should you wait after a d&c to try again,does anyone know? My ob said to wait one cycle, but when will that be? Should I count this bleeding from the d&c as a period, or will another one come in a few days when the hormone levels drop?
Im thinking I might wait till after Feb as we are going to Fiji at the beginning of it, yay! Im trying to look at the positive side of things, ie I can have ****tails around the pool, eat the raw fish salad they make there, not have to worry about listeria etc etc. It doesnt quite compensate but I will take anything positive I can get out of this situation at the moment, if you know what I mean...
Well girls, thats my intro. Sorry if I sound like a crazy woman, I probably am at the moment!!!
