Decreasing

JD and I made it to our appointment this morning with no incidents. The only thing that showed up on the ultrasound was a blood clot. So, we were just in a wait and see till my blood work came back.

My nurse just called and said that my number has started going down on its own, from 160 on Tuesday to 149 today. I'm glad. I much preferred my body to handle this naturally rather than having to go through intervention.

Given the strong cramping that I've been feeling for the past two days, it's likely that I'll begin my period soon.

I'm doing OK. The tears sneak up on me every one in a while, but it's more upset about how many things in our life are screwed up, as opposed to being upset solely about the miscarriage.

JD tried and mostly succeeded at not falling apart on me. It's not that he can't be upset, just that he takes it to the extreme. He's trying. We're both trying.

I'm going to go back in on Sunday for a repeat blood check. My nurse said that if it keeps coming down, they will probably only have me come in once a week till it goes down to zero.

I'll have to lose at least 10 pounds to get back down to the BMI limit for IUI at my clinic. We've got 5 samples in storage. We'll be ready for round 2 soon.

You know, I think it's even harder when you do get a positive and then things go south. I'm so sorry. However, I'm glad to hear that you're already thinking about round 2. Things will get better.

Came here via LCFA, and wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your loss right now. I also wanted to tell you that the piece you wrote in your previous post:

""You can go if you need to go. You don't have to stay because I want you to stay. You can go if you need to go. I'm letting you go. I love you."

...it's just beautiful and breaks my heart all at the same time. You are a very brave, strong woman, and I'm deeply humbled reading that. I hope you are well physically with your loss, and wishing you well for your Round 2.

ME! said...

Lots of hugs sweetie. If I was up there I would take you out for a little distraction. :( I am glad JD is holding up, but I know you are stressed with all of the other weights surrounding him. I think you are a very strong woman to deal with all this.

PS. I am just now catching up on all my commments for the last week...so I want to say that your list of things you accomplished the other day was awesome. Sometimes I am insanely proud of myself for getting normal mundane stuff done- like washing AND folding laundry....AND putting it up!!! WOOO HOOO!! LOL

Love ya chickie! Keep your chin up- I am praying for you.
