Hi Firerise
Wow my own thread - really touched you thought of me. I feel like breaking into a Gwynnie Paltrwo Oscar moment!
Firstly, how are you feeling and what have you been up to?
Well, it went as well as it could have under the circumstances. All the staff including the nurses and anaethetist were were made aware by my consultant about my little daughter passing away and this MC and handled everything so sensitively and wonderfully. Couldn't have asked for more as it made the prcedure much easier to deal with. All I remember is breaking down in theatre and the anaethetist talking to me and then I woke up to a stupid woman (the exception) who asked me if I was going to start trying again. Tissues have been sent of for analysis and clotting tests were taken so I think I got the best service I could have hoped for.
Physically, I feel fine - not much bleeding or cramping at all. Consultant said that despite my heavy bledding over the past 2 days, he removed quite a bit of tissue and blood. I am glad I gave the natural loss a shot but don't regret erpc (assuming all will be well in the future). He came back to see me to say that all went well and was just really good about everything. I think he went out of his way to everthing he could as far as testing was concerned. I was fortunate to have medical insurance cover everything today and so it helped having my own room and bathroom. Also, I wouldn't have got the tests on NHS.
I feel desperately sad as today coincided with my daughter passing away exactly 7 months ago. I had her photo with me in theatre and just miss her like crazy.
Now, I just need to get on with my life, get fit and healthy and try once again to move on from what has happened. I feel emotionally very fragile (always at the edge of tears) but it will pass as I am a strong person. I have to be otherwise I won't move on.
