Operation Miscarriage...Complete

Well yesterday as I suspected, was the day I passed (I hope) everything. When I got up in the morning I went from no cramps one minute to completely in pain the next. It was about an hour and a half until I had to be at work so I just sat watching this great show (about matchmaking and millionaires?) drinking tea until the cramps subsided. Only they didn't. All of a sudden I had this horrendous pain like someone was pulling my insides out. It went on for about 20 minutes. I went to the bathroom and when I wiped I found what must have been a small sac. I could see that it was different from all the other "stuff" It was sort of jellylike and clearish...at least that's what I could make out...but deflated of course. I couldn't really see anything inside it but then again it was a lot of other stuff if you know what I mean. As many others said I felt instant relief after and have had only some regular cramping here and there after. I wouldn't say it was quite like a very heavy period. I would definitely say though that it was much more painful than any AF I've ever experienced. I don't know exactly what wasn't or was implanted but I think that if there wasn't any implantation, as they say happens in Chemical pregnancies, I'm thinking I wouldn't have felt like my ovaries were being torn out of me.

Last night was the first night in about a week and a half that I didn't have any night sweats. I've just been outrageously hot every night waking up in a pool of sweat even though I'm wearing just shorts and a t-shirt to bed and the heat is off. Very weird. Must have been the hormones though from that little sac because last night I slept comfortably.

I thought about keeping the remains for testing (if that was even possible) but I think it's what is in the sac that needed to be tested. How could they tell anything from just the sac? Well anyways I decided that it wasn't worth it and didn't keep it. It's a wonder they can test anything with all that gook around. I'd hate to have that job. Although it would be interesting to find out what the outcome of miscarriages are.

Anyways my plan continues to go ahead and call in sick tomorrow and go to my doctor's appt. Hopefully she can shed some light on some things. The hubby and I have been talking a lot about our options and he has gotten a referral from some friends at work (those details I'll save for another post) to an RE that is supposed to be really good. He thinks we should just go straight to him for help although that would mean having no insurance coverage I think because he's outside the network. My insurance covers very little for infertility in the network and definitely nothing outside the network. So my plan is to get as many tests from my current ob (which is covered) and then possibly transfer those results to the new RE. I also want to pass some ideas/questions by her tomorrow to see what she thinks. Like most women with this issue part of me just wants to try again hoping that this was all just 2 strokes of bad luck and the other part of me thinks no you need to see a specialist for a second opinion. I have a feeling my ob is going to consider the chemical pregnancy not a true second miscarriage. That's what I heard the norm is. Now REs definitely consider a 2nd miscarriage, even if a chemical pregnancy, an issue. But I'm wondering is it because there is business at stake? Although I'd like to not think suspiciously of REs as well as not put a price on our future child...but I wonder if some of them prey on hurt women to make an extra buck. I don't know it's just a thought. I guess I would feel differently about it if it was something that was covered and I knew it wasn't such a business.

Anyhow I'll post more on the details of my questions tomorrow. And hopefully the answers my ob will have. Wish me luck that my levels are all down and there are no further issues.
