To make my already hard day even worse, the RE's nurse just called to reschedule our followup appointment next week. We had to put it off all the way to the 18th which is so frustrating. But the worst part is she gave me the chromosome results from my D&C and the baby was chromosomally normal. I didn't ask boy or girl because I knew I couldn't hear it right now. I still have to talk more to the doctor at our appointment but this makes me so upset about my body and my uterus and my awful c-section. I was so upset about having to have a c-section and I am furious that I feel like it's still affecting me.
I guess the one good thing is that it makes me feel less like my old eggs are to blame. I think that maybe if it is my uterus it might be easier to fix.
sorry if this was incoherent and thanks for listening.

I'm so sorry. I think the last person I'd want to get that news from is L. Gah.
I'm sure it must be really hard, from where you stand, to see any good news in what you heard, but what I hear is that you still have good eggs!
I'll let you know how the hysteroscopic surgery goes tomorrow. I'm hoping it's the smoking gun for me, and maybe it will be the magic bullet for you!

Always thought I'd be a "mom of many"--now just hoping to be a "mom of one or two more!"
It must have been hard to get that call about the baby.
I wanted ours tested but when they did the D&C, they did not find any "products of conception." I hate that terminology!
I completely understand your frustration about a c-section, I feel like mine has screwed things up as well. The good news is that your eggs are good!
I hope your F/U goes well on the 18th. Keep us posted!

Keep it Natural, Baby!
Thanks everybody for your kind words. I know that there is good news in there that this probably means my eggs are ok. It was just so hard to hear that the baby was genetically normal, it felt the same as it did when I found out the heart had stopped and it's so upsetting to think that I should be entering second tri right now with a healthy baby.
choirgirl--L was actually pretty nice about it. She asked lots of questions about how I was feeling and sleeping and even shared her own m/c experience. She's still not my favorite, but I think she handled this situation pretty well.
