2 weeks post D&C

It has been a little over 2 weeks from my D&C on 12/20.  Bleeding continued on and off until Yesterday.  On 12/30, as I was getting ready to go to work, I could feel a lot of blood was dripping down.  I felt a little uncomfortable, but I figured it wasn't that big of a deal since I had super long maxi pad on me.  I drove to work, but I continued to feel the blood dripping and a little cramping.  Fifteen minutes later, I arrived at my office and as soon as I sat my bag on my desk, I grabbed another maxi pad and headed to the bathroom to see what was going on.  After all, it was 10 days after the procedure and my bleeding so far was pretty minimal.  When I pulled down my pants, I gasped in horror.  Clumpy clots that looked like I spilled half a jar of grape jelly were on the maxi pad and also some of the same thing fell out between my legs onto the toilette and the floor.  I was like "is this my baby?  No no, this is not the baby, but what the hell is this?" I also had to clean the floor real quick before someone came in.  I was in tears.  I was scared first off, and I just wanted to know why I had to go through this.   It sounds gross, but I folded the pad lightly in half and put it in the trash basket, went back to my desk to grab my phone, came back to the bathroom, unfolded the pad, and took a picture of the pad.  I am not going to post it here...  It's probably way TMI.... When I called my doctor, she said that happen sometimes, and I had to wait it out.  It seems that was the final gunk in my uterus.   After that, the bleeding almost stopped.

On Friday, I had my post operation appointment.  Tim came with me, but I guess he didn't really have to.  Well, he was there as my moral support.  My RE told me I need to focus on me and try to get better now.  She said my period should start anytime between now to 6 weeks.  She told us karyotype result came back and there was no  chromosome abnormality.  Given there was no chromsome abnormality, she said it was that damn polyp that made me miscarry.  I have to wait for my next period to come and make an appointment to get SIS done to see if the polyp is still there.  I was told that since D&C is a blind procedure, she might have not gotten the polyp out.  She told us we could have sex, but not to try to conceive until we know that the polyp is out.  Two months ago, I would have said screw her, we are trying,  but this time, I'd better listen to her.  I don't want to have to go through that ordeal again. I will wait.

Well, so this morning, I noticed my CM was really stretchy.  Like a text book example of fertile EWCM.  I haven't had these for ever since we started trying to conceive, so this was new.  I used my opk and sure enough it was positive.  Yaaaay, so that means my period will be here in a few weeks!  I also did a pregnancy test and YES! BFN!!!! Ok, I never thought I would be happy to see a negative pregnancy test and I would be looking forward for AF to come.  But I need these two things to happen for us to move on.  It is like we are back to square one, but I know that baby came to let us know we could conceive.  That baby came to tell me I need to take care of my body a bit more.  Maybe I am getting the stretchy CM because I haven't been drinking alcohol as much as I used to and I have been eating a lot healthier.

So I went to buy a box of condoms... since we must prevent pregnancy.  When I was at a store, I called Tim and told him that I didnt even know which one to buy.  Last time I had to buy them was years and years ago.  Lol.
