ICLW!

If you are visiting from ICLW, thanks for stopping by!

The quick synopsis of my situation is this:
- One week ago I was 8 1/2 weeks pregnant, happily enjoying my status as a frozen embryo transfer success story.
- Today I am picking up the pieces from an ultrasound that showed no heartbeat.  This wasn't the side of the statistics that I wanted to fall on.

I am currently waiting for a D&C because my four attempts(!!!) at a medically induced miscarriage did not work.  I am ready to put this experience behind me and focus on what the future has in store for me.  I know it won't be as easy as it sounds, but I am ready.

It looks like I might be able to get in for the surgery tomorrow.  The patient coordinator I spoke to on the phone thinks I'm crazy for not wanting to use the anesthesia.

    Hugs. Hopefully after tomorrow you will be able to have some closure. As far as the anesthesia, you just need to do what you feel is best.
