Thank you all.
It was pretty unpleasant, but made bearable by the amazing team at the Whittington EPU. I think I'd had selective memory loss regarding how uncomfortable the procedure is under LA, and if I go through this again I may opt for a GA.
The consultant was extremely reassuring throughout though and would have stopped at any point if I absolutely needed her to. Two wonderful nurses held my hands and chatted/distracted me throughout. She did say that there was a little bit of tissue still in there, but I didn't want her to go back in once she'd stopped and she said it should pass naturally. I have to go back if I'm still bleeding in a fortnight.
I didn't ask dp to come this time, as I know he found it very hard last time, but in retrospect I do wish I'd had him there.
Although painful, it was over very quickly, and I was ready to leave 40 minutes later and went straight to Waitrose to do some shopping, no real pain since, just a little tender. I've been to IKEA this morning and am just about to make some mince pies and wrap dd's presents.
The lowest point was having to listen to a very young woman in her first trimester vomiting endlessly in the next cubicle whilst I waited for my cervix to soften up. Listening to her whimpering and moaning to her bf about needing pain relief and not being able to cope tested my patience rather (I am a terrible human being).
Anyway, onwards and upwards. We will try again, but I am realistic about our chances of another successful pregnancy, given my age. I don't think I can go through this more than once or twice more, so praying for a sticky bean next time as I desperately want my DD to have a sibling. I know how incredibly fortunate we are to have her though, so am trying to focus on the positives.
