Today is the day

Last Thursday we found out our first pregnancy was a Blighted Ovum at 6w5d. The Dr told us the tissue would pass overtime on its own but set up an appointment on June 10th and if it hadn't passed by then we would discuss treatment for it. Well the waiting was too much for me, the worst part is all the symptoms, especially the morning sickness, to remind me everyday of something that's not going to be. I called my Dr and made the decision to go ahead with the D&C, and they were able to get me scheduled for this morning. I'm just so anxious to get this whole thing over with so I can start healing. Its a bittersweet day as I wish with all my heart this never had to happen but I'm ready to move on.

I hope everything goes well. Waiting is the worst.

Me too. Good luck this morning mine isn't until 2pm.

Mine is at 3pm. I can't believe these are the last few hours I will get to have my precious baby inside of me. I fear the empty feeling that I know will be left behind. But I too couldn't bear the thought of waiting up to 2 weeks possibly wondering when and if my baby would pass. The pain is raw and deep, but I am ready to get out of this weird limbo and start the healing process.

Everything went well with the D&C and I actually feel better than when I went in.  Had to be there by 6:30 this morning and was on my way home by 9:30.  This has been the most difficult and devastating last couple weeks but today was a huge relief.  The healing process has begun, the emotional pain is still there and probably will be for awhile but I feel like I can now focus more on the future.  Thanks and good luck to you ladies, I hope you are able to find comfort as you go forward.

Hi same for me as well. I feel much better now that it's over and I can move forward. Also for anyone else reading this I want to add that the d&c was completely painless. Very quick from what I am told (I was asleep). Good luck to all and I'm sorry for your losses

@huskerfan246 it's good to hear that everything went well with the D&C and that you now can begin to look forward (goes for you too @misslissa32 ). Wish you good luck!

I, too, feel a sort of relief or closure. I still feel sad, but everyone that was a part of my healthcare team was so sweet and understanding and caring. My OB/gyn held both of my hands until I fell asleep in the OR, and my PACU nurse asked me, not only about my physical pain, but about my emotional pain as well. I could not have asked for a better experience on this draining and emotional day. I'm so glad to hear you all had better than expected experiences as well.
