Well, I didn't end up having the D&C yesterday. I waited and was all prepped in the little gown but the obgyn on looking at the scans again, decided that the surgery was more complex than they had anticipated. They are concerned because of abnormal vascular swelling which seems to be getting bigger. So, they have decided that they need a different approach which requires two surgeons. The surgery has been postponed till tomorrow. They have given me a litany of risks including the chance (v. small) that they may need to remove my uterus.
Fortunately work has been fantastic - the trip has been cancelled to give me time to recover at home both emotionally and physically. At this point, I just want it to be over. I can even reconcile that we may not have another child. I have a wonderful son already - it feels just greedy to want anymore. Plus, I'm not sure that I am brave enough to risk a third miscarriage after the drama of this one.
Thanks for all your support. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes.
