Sorry I've been away for a bit viroids, the ED is bloody nuts at the moment! Epic post alert ...
stoat I'm so very sorry, this is a really awful time, made even worse by your healthcare being incredibly mis-managed. But you are strong, you will get through this. After my second mc, I was reading my Saturday paper, and this from Caitlin Moran really helped;
'Every time your heart gets broken, breathe deep - it grows bigger as it mends. Imagine each line of red scar tissue on it with pride...hearts tear to make great things. Don't be afraid' -- and she was talking about when she miscarried.
When it comes to managing this, however you choose is the right choice. My first mc was mmc and I had medical management, it helped a lot in being able to feel it was over with and I could move on. My second mc was natural and it was not as physically bad as some of the horror stories you can read about on the internet. Invest in the poshest, nicest pads, there is no reason why this should not be made as easy as possible.
lil likewise, every bit of love to you at the moment. I can't imagine how awful this is for you after everything that you have been through. The only positive I can find, is I remember you saying your dh's numbers were normal when you went to the clinic. Hold onto that, keep him taking the vitamins and you will get there. Lets see a wtf bfp. And yes, in my opinion, I think you should temp. I am also a control freak, and in this case I think you need as much info as you can gather.
country I'm afraid my sticks were all over the place when using cheapies, I didn't understand them at all. It was only when I started using the posh dual hormone ones (in collaboration with them) that I made any sense of what was going on. if it makes it any better, they were free as I was in a trial. Still a bad jser
jelly I am so holding out that you have finally got in your rhythm now!
