Ah Jollster and Maitri - wish I'd come online last night now to offer hugs.
Yeah, I had an ERPC in the end, but it already started the day before - if it hadn't been for MN I would've had no idea of the amount of blood and clots. I sat on the toilet for about 2hrs. I wish I had known that this is normal and ok, not told that it would be like a "heavy period" - my arse. If women were having periods like that no work would ever actually get done. And the laundry bills would be phenomenal. I hope it is going/has gone ok for you guys, and echo everything else everyone else said (in better ways).
If it's any help/consolation/entertainment, the day after all that I got the train to the hospital for the ERPC (on my own - am a loon) and bumped into my ex boyfriend. I hadn't seen him in 8 years, had always daydreamed of bumping into him whilst on my way to some posh do, looking totally glam, and him going "Oh, hi GLB, god you look great" and me going "Who are you? Oh, Jon, I remember you, nice to see you". Instead, no, I am dressed in (slightly bloodstained) tracksuit, with greasy hair and pale as death, and I go "Jon! Wow, how are you?" and he goes "Have we met?".
I could've just DIED. Thank god I was getting off at the next stop.
Viv - I have the imaginary conversations too, in fact, for some reason I am now having an imaginary conversation with your SIL and it is playing out nicely in my head. A bit of OUTRAGE for a Friday morning. Passing the box of Mars bars your way (they are fun size, you can take a handful).
Hi to everyone, newbies and old hands, hope today is a better day/good day for all. And apologies for not namechecking properly.
xxxxxxxxxx
