Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Follow up Appointment Today

    So, today my follow-up/ post d&c appointment is at 2:30.  I am really anxious about it.  I am really hopeful that everything is going to be fine, and we'll get the green light to TTC again soon, but on the other hand, I am really afraid of bad news.  I know It's not completely logical; I feel fine, but the last time I showed up expecting great things, we had lost our baby.  I'm just a ball of nerves today, and I don't know what to expect physically or emotionally for this appointment.  I don't even know what happens... Is it just a routine pelvic? Will there be blood work?  I wish now, that I had scheduled an early morning appointment, so I would have less time to worry.  I have an anxiety disorder, which makes all of this super fun.  I've been off my anxiety meds for almost 6 months now, but for some reason, I'm having a really hard time today...

Re: Follow up Appointment Today

  • I know exactly what you mean especially the part about expecting great things before, and finding out such heartbreaking news. Same thing happened to me...

    I have my next appointment in 2 weeks from today so I'm not much help with figuring out what they'll be doing at the appointment but I wanted to wish you luck and I hope you're able to TTC as soon as possible.

     HUGS!!

  • Sorry you are having a rough time today :(

    My follow up appointments have always been really quick. I think a quick pelvic exam, then time for questions. No bloodwork, at least my doctor didn't do any.

    They were both a little anti-climatic, to be honest with you. I didn't really get any real answers to the questions I really wanted to know about - why did it happen and will it happen again/how can I prevent it?

  • I'm sorry you're so nervous for your appointment. There was not much to mine. Quick pelvic then answered my questions. Whether you get follow up blood work will be up to your doctor. Hope it goes well.

  • Good luck at your appt! Keep us posted on how things went.
  • So everything went well.  We didn't get any real answers, but we found out that I am physically fine, and she encouraged me to start trying again asap!  There's a new study out that says the sooner the better, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get a new BFP, and I won't end up in the same situation again....  Three weeks out and things are starting to look up...

  • Thanks, the one thing I don't think my mom understands yet, is that although we're hopeful and trying to keep our focus forward, this news doesn't actually take away from our loss at all.  We're still pushing through our loss, this just gives us a new focus.
