Update on me!!!

Good news, no infection

I was really terrified all night Monday so Tuesday I was able to get in with the gyn. He did some kind of quick culture swab? Also checked my uterus and stated that it felt pretty close to normal. He said since I'm testing negative on the Early Response HPT he's pretty confident that my levels are either 0 or will hit 0 shortly. I was offerred a beta but I kind of agree with him. I can always go back and get one if I really wanted peace of mind, but to be honest it would just be one more thing for me to obsess about. Plus my chart is looking better since the weekend! I seem to be getting "back to normal" a bit. My temps have stayed in the 97 range for a couple of days, which is normal for me pre O.

I start therapy tonight. I'm so nervous about it but I'm hoping it helps me reflect more. I know it's normal to grieve but I don't like how cyclic it seems to be for me. I hate that I feel really great a few days and then really bad the next. I don't like being that unpredictable and I know that life will continue to have "triggers," for my MC. I have to find a good way to cope with it!

I just wanted to update in case anyone was wondering! It's so nice to have GOOD news

Yay!! So glad to hear things are looking up!!

Just as an FYI: I went to a Pregnancy Loss support group for the first time on Tuesday night. I was really dreading it, but I'm soooo glad that I went. I didn't realize how much I was bottling up and being able to speak to others that were outside the situation, but could empathize, was really wonderful. It was something that I didn't know I was missing. I hope that your therapy experience is just as positive!

I'll be thinking of you and sending you positive and healing thoughts!

yay for no infection!

it's nice that your dr could fit your in and ease your fears. sounds like your body is starting to move back into your 'normal' which is really good. hopefully that helps you cope easier too. I hope the therapist helps. keep us posted on how it goes! good luck!
