hey izzy - glad to hear all went well with the d&c. so glad they used a camera. that must be such a relief. you'll be done to zero in no time. everyone deals with things in their own way. dont let anyone tell you how to get over it. If just dealing with it is your way then thats ok too! I couldnt move on until after my due date came and went, but once i got past that date it was like a weight lifted from my shoulders. i think everyone expected me to be over it well and truly before then but i didnt care. i think it made alot of people uncomfortable and worried. but my dh always listened when i wanted to talk and was always ready with a hug when i wanted to cry.

mewithbaby- thanks for sharing your story. im sorry you had such a crummy year. i hope next year is much more positive for you and you get your dream baby. I wouldnt worry too much about your hcg getting to zero. Most places consider less than 5 zero due to a normal amount of hcg in a non pregnant woman and varying lab results. Once i got to 5 i didnt have any more tests. I dont think you need to be worried about your period being a day or two late. My first cycle after d&c was 28 days then every cycle after varied between 28-47 days. i was never that irregular before, it took awhile for my body to completely readjust and i did eventually get back into a 30ish day cycle.

Nelly - thankyou for sharing your story! you give me hope. i really feel this time is different from my molar, but im still terrified of ultrasounds. on one hand im looking forward to my 12 weeks scan and on the other i just want to burry my head in the sand and just not go! i just wish it hadnt happened on my first pregnancy... i now dont trust that my body can actually grow a healthy baby. but its really good to hear that other people have been in the same situation and gone on to have healthy kiddos.
