Thanks. Today is really hard as DH has gone back to work. I am home as I am just not together enough to deal with people yet. I plan to go back on wednesday. I wish I could drop out for longer to be honest, yet I am worried being home alone might not be the best thing either.
As for whether we are going to have further tests, I am not sure yet. The material collected in the D&C has been sent away for testing. My Ob says he doesnt recommend further tests for us yet, as this was only (Only!) our second miscarriage, the first onebeing the ectopic doesn't count as a miscarriage. He says it's not 'recurrent' until 3 or more, then they do tests. Sounds scary if/when we manage to be pregnant again, the threat of losing another will loom large.
We also have to decide whether to try naturally, or go straight to IVF. We don't know if this natural conception was a miracle, a fluke chance....or a sign that things maybe arent as bad with my remaining tube as they thought. There is also the high risk of an ectopic in that tube.
Then again, IVF is an emotional, draining, expensive experience, and we don't relish the thought of facing that again.
Maybe we'll have a few natural cycles, then IVF. I dont know. I guess even though my grief is so raw I am already trying to forumlate a way forward, so I have something to hold on to, to pull me out of this hole I am in.
We are also arranging a holiday.
Thanks again everyone.
