had d&c yesterday

Schnoogly wrote: Very long story short...I had another u/s last thursday which showed the same thing--baby about 9 weeks (I was 11 weeks) and no heartbeat. My doc gave me cytotec to move things along since I was just barely spotting for the past 3 weeks and nothing else was happening. I took it Thursday night and had some bad cramps, but nothing else really. Some light bleeding Sat-Sun and then Sunday night I woke up drenched in blood, very dizzy, and with horrible cramps and back pain. I went to the ER and waited all day, had another u/s that showed almost everything was still in my uterus, so had a d&c yesterday afternoon. It was pretty painless (I was under a general) and I was home a couple hours afterwards. I feel a little weak today, and sad, but relieved that it's finally over. The doctor told geoff that the fetus looked like it had been gone a couple weeks, just like we thought. We aren't having any testing done. I don't want to know if it was a boy or girl, and there's no way to know if it had a heart defect.

I am not sure if I can be here for a while, it's a little painful to read about other pregnancies. Thanks for your kind words though.
