When will this end already?

I feel like I'm on some horrible roller coaster I can't get off. On November 7 our dreams were shattered when we went in for our first ultrasound and found out our baby had no heartbeat. I waited one week to miscarry, and then decided to get a D&C to just get it over with. It's been two weeks since my D&C and the bleeding is getting heavier, not lighter. Called the doctor's office and the nurse practitioner said it sounds like they may not have gotten everything with the D&C and that some lingering "tissue" (don't you love how nonchalantly they throw around those terms?) is causing me to continue to bleed. If it doesn't get any better on its own they want to prescribe me some meds to help me pass everything. UGH. The whole reason I got the D&C is because I didn't want to take the meds and I wanted to get the process over with. I know people who have had natural M/Cs who have had a more speedy process than I'm having. It's been 2 whole weeks since my D&C, 3 weeks since we found out our baby died, and 4 weeks since he/she died. I am ready to just be DONE already, and this drawn out process feels like it's keeping me from moving on.

I don't really have a point to this post. I'm just frustrated and angry and sad all at the same time.

    I'm so sorry.   With a missed m/c, the day you find out is just the beginning.   I just learned about my second missed m/c today and I hate that this is not going to be over for weeks.

    I am very sorry. Nothing about this road is easy or pleasant and it seems to be one thing after another. Ugh.

    I am so so sorry.  I was on the June board with you and our dates are similar.  We found out our baby died on November 8th, and a week later I was still waiting for something to happen.  I really considered the D&C for the same reason you did - but somehow my body kicked it into gear and I naturally m/c between 11/15 and 11/18.

    Every time I see an update from you my heart aches that you are still going through the physical torture of this process.  I really hope this is all over for you soon.  I am so so sorry again.  ::hug::
