I had much anxiety before the procedure about 'am I doing the right thing'.. even though in my heart of hearts I knew the pregnancy was over. The surgery went well and right now I feel a little more piece. I did find out that my progesterone level was only 11.7 on Monday. I got into a huge fight with my doctor over whether that is 'normal' or not, but he did ultimately agree that his associate doctor SHOULD have ordered the progesterone test. My doctor said next time he'll just put me progesterone the moment I am PG so that there will be no doubt. They are doing chromosome testing on the tissue as well so maybe we'll find out what happened.
Anyways.. I love you girls so much. Kallie.. your call the other night was truly amazing. I know I didn't talk to you, but I listened to your message and it gave me such peace. I am still not able to speak about the miscarriage without a complete breakdown.. maybe one day.

I am glad that you can start the healing process. I also am glad you got my message. I lost it after the leaving the message. I am emotional person. My dd Stephanie asked me if I was ok after that. I couldn't talk today when I was spotting either.
I hope that you know if you do need to talk that I am here for you. If anything we can cry together. Ask dh I am good at crying. If I watch anything emotional I need the tissue but with real humans watch out...
I am sending you as many (((((((((hugs)))))))))) as you need. Get plenty of rest and know that not a day goes by that I do not think of you.
Take care Kallie

Oh one more thing. Have you ever had your progesterone checked 7 dpo? That may be low as well. They may want to start you on progesterone while ttc. My dr should have done so with me.
Take care ((((((((hugs))))))))))))) Kallie

Dear Panch, I am glad things went well today, or as well as tehy could have. I remember being so anxious the morning of my d & c. I was pretty sure it was the right thing to do, but there is always that tiny hope in the back of your head saying what if the doctors were wrong. You want that baby so badly, so you want to believe that that is possible.
I agree with Kallie.... I get progesterone starting a few days after ovulation until I do a pregnancy test because mine is low so they think that can help me to conceive, as well as maintain a pregnancy. you should check with your doctor.
Well, I trust you are sleeping today off on those d&c drugs.... they are pleasantly mind numbing. I know the next few weeks are going to be so hard for you. I will be thinking of you and sending you well wishes. Love, Lauren

Panch,
I am SO glad you are hanging in there and doing as well as can be expected. I remember that feeling the day of my D and C...finalization mixed with sadness...and the hollow disbelief.
I'm glad they are doing testing, and that he is willing to put you on progesterone the next time. I know it doesn't make the pain go away, but I hope you have the feeling of a light at the end of the tunnel.
**hugs** Lin

Pancho,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your DH. I remember after my surgeries, I got to have a tall glass of wine the next day. That relaxed me a lot b/c I was just riddled with sadness and the mental pain just wouldn't subside.
I cried a lot and held my DH and prayed that I would get through this somehow. I promise you will get through this and be rewarded with a healthy baby sweetheart.
Just an aside, progesterone will not save a pregnancy that is not "viable" (Sorry, I HATE that word). I know this from personal experience. My levels dropped early with my 2nd b/o and I still lost her. So don't beat yourself up over the progesterone hun. I know you are looking for answers, maybe the chromosome testing will tell you something. It didn't in my case. Somehow that in and of itself was hard. :0(
God bless you during this most sad time. Wish I could be there to give you a big HUG and hold your hand.
Kris
