Post-Op OB Visit and Our Tribute

Yesterday, we had our post-op visit with our OB and overall, I think it went pretty well.  The doctor went over the pathological report and thankfully, they didn't find anything out of the ordinary so basically, it was a fluke that I miscarried.  I guess I am thankful for that.

He gave us the green light to try again after one cycle (though I think we'll wait a bit longer) and also told us to come in after 3 unsuccessful cycles and they will try to help us.  I don't know that we'll run in after 3 cycles for help but I guess it's nice to have that option.

The doc also told us that the chances of miscarriage go down now that I have had one.  I don't really know if I believe that since I have known others that have had more than one but I need to focus on positivity so that is what I'll be doing!  :)

Also, the doc decided to run some bloodwork because I am still not feeling 100% myself.  I am not sure if its because of my emotions, if something else is going on, or simply that I am still healing from the surgery but I feel more tired and lethargic than usual.  He also wanted to test to make sure my HCG is 0.  I should get the results back tomorrow sometime.

Overall, I think it was a very positive visit.  The doc was concerned about my emotional well-being (I was shocked!!) and he spent about a 1/2 hour with us answering all the questions I had.  The visit left me feeling very hopeful for our future and I guess that is as much as we can ask for at this moment!

Finally, over the weekend, Steve and I bought a little stuffed animal to help us remember our baby.  To me, it's perfect.  It's a mamma doggie holding a baby doggie and from the moment I saw it, I knew it was what I wanted.  At least I can look at and hold this little stuffed animal and remember our little bean...we still love and miss him so much!
