Yep, another bloodwork appointment tomorrow, and, I assume, an ultrasound, since I haven’t bled anything out yet.  Which is frustrating.  I’m just ready to move on, though I suspect that’s not going to happen until after the first of the year. I’ve been on tenterhooks, waiting to see if this miscarriage would hurry up and [...]

And today I underwent the procedure I was trying to avoid two months ago when I forewent the D&C for a natural, astonishingly scary & painful miscarriage at home.   Today’s hysteroscopy/D&C was certainly unnatural, but really not scary or painful at all, thanks to the joys of a general anesthetic, which I’m pretty sure [...]

This has gotten so fucking old. So, I had the MRI. Good news is that my various problems do not include adenomyosis. Thank god for small favors. Bad news is, there is an unexplained, er, thingy still in my uterus. Despite the heavy period. Despite my doctor’s poking around in there with the HSG catheter [...]

So, um, even though I haven’t yet stopped bleeding from the miscarriage, oh so many weeks ago, it seems to have kicked up a notch, back to what I would call “Normal Period” type bleeding. I’m thinking it might actually be a period. Since it would be right on schedule for me, give or take [...]

First off – Dog. Dog is good. Her name is Nellie – as in “Nervous Nellie” or possibly “Nosy Nellie”. She is, what could charitably be called, timid. Since my previous dog was so overly confident that she once jumped into a river. From a cliff. To rescue my husband. Who actually wasn’t drowning. Even [...]

Well. Not in so many words, but my doctor just basically said to me that Dr. Bigshot’s full of shit. Ok, so not really, I’m reading between the lines here, but he did express professional disagreement with Bigshot’s insta-diagnosis of “worst case of Adenomyosis I’ve ever seen.” My doctor thinks this bleeding is just the [...]

Ah fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Went in for another HCG test today & mentioned that I’m still bleeding, er, heavily. Wasn’t my doctor but the gruff guy whose bedside manner sucks. Looks like all ‘products of conception’ have left the building, but, I’ve developed(?) “the most severe case of adenomyosis [doctor] has ever seen” Fuck. [...]

Have I mentioned before how much I dislike waiting? Waiting to complete a missed miscarriage rated right up there with my least favorite things in the whole world. July 2008 will probably always go down as the Month of Misery, in my book at least. But waiting to STOP bleeding, waiting to feel like this [...]

So I was thinking, yesterday, about posting a blog today about how nothing dramatic ever happens anymore, (besides finding out that I’m too anemic to donate blood because I’ve been dripping little teeny-tiny bits of blood every day over the last two weeks.) But then I decided not to write it because, really, in the [...]

…or as close to it as I can approximate. Seriously, I’m feeling so much better. Still bleeding, but nothing dizzying. No double-me-over cramps as my uterus attempts to turn itself inside out. I even hope to be able to donate blood at work on Friday, since NYC is having a shortage of my type, and [...]
