Our Follow up with the Dr.

On Monday we went in and Saw Dr. Drew my OBGYN. I was kind of nervous because there was a chance they may have to do a procedure to remove any remaining tissue that hadn't come out naturally, and there was also a possibility that I was having an ectopic pregnancy not a miscarriage. (the development of a fertilized ovum outside the uterus, as in a Fallopian tube.) If Ectopic was the case that would mean surgery to remove the egg before it made my ovary explode.
Luckily I had an HCG level and it showed I no longer had any pregnancy hormones left, which ruled out both problems so I was very relieved.
The Dr. suggested that we wait 3-6 months before we try to conceive again. That was not happy news. We wanted to start trying as soon as I felt better since the first time it took us 10 months... Oh well Dr. knows best I suppose.
It was nice to have our questions answered and to be reassured that I am young and have many available conception years ahead of me and that there is no rush. To me it feels as though there is a rush however. I am ready to be a mother and I feel like I've already earned that title once and I'd like to hold onto it again.
Thanks for listening
