Looking for our Wish Lists? Here they are.

Saw Kathleen today. She did more bloodwork (26 vials total now in 11  days) and an ultrasound.  She said that since my levels were so low on  Friday night, and since I passed the baby itself and my pain and blood  levels were so high, she is not assuming I will need surgery.  But I  have to keep having my bloodwork tested weekly until it goes down to  zero.  If I have significantly increased pain or bleeding, or a fever of  higher than 101 in the meantime, I'm supposed to go to ER.  Otherwise, I  have to keep up all pregnancy restrictions until my level goes back  down to zero, but I am fine to travel this weekend.  They did the  autopsy and the baby was a girl, aged at 7 weeks 2 days.  They found  nothing specifically wrong with her, but at that early age, they rarely  do.  She also tested my blood for two specific causes of miscarriage on  my part.  Said they rarely, if ever, come back positive, but it is the  only two things they can actually test for so they are.  Those results  will take 1-2 weeks.  When we get those results, she will give me a  referral to a fertility/prenatal specialist who will then discuss  options with me for when/if we try again and what to do when/if we get  pregnant again.  She asked if I wanted happy pills and I told her I  didn't know, I had never had happy pills but I was pretty sure that with  a problematic two year old, a missing husband and a dead baby, the  pills weren't going to make me happy. She told me to call her if I  wanted them.
