The "All Clear"...Sort of...

So today was my two week check-up after my miscarriage. I was so busy at work all day that I didn't really get a chance to be excited, but as I drove to the office, I started to get all excited and jittery. For two weeks I've been living in this uncomfortable limbo. By the end, it wasn't even depression...it was just frustrated stagnation.

Well the news is that my uterus is looking good. I responded to this news by saying, "Thanks. I've been working on it." Uterine lining is healthy and thin; the twins (my new nickname for my ovaries) are a-okay. All good news!

My list...or the beginning of it.

I got a chance to ask my questions, and I had developed quite a list in my iPhone leading up to this appointment. My plan was to write down every answer and ask every question. But once she said I was fine? It was like most of those questions suddenly became unimportant. I didn't care if they could do more chromosomal testing or if the tests revealed normal pregnancy tissue. Some questions I just skipped over altogether. It didn't seem productive or even important to ask questions about the past, so I just skipped over those ones and got down to the nitty-gritty--the future.

So here's my dilemma, inquiring minds of internet, family, fellow future mommies, and friends. The doctor originally said to wait to start "trying" again until after I got my first period. This time, she repeated the same recommendation and followed up by saying there is still a chance I should get pregnant before that so it was probably a good idea to use protection. I asked her what the risk would be if I conceived before my first menstrual cycle. She paused and then said, "well...it would be more difficult to date the pregnancy since you wouldn't have a last menstrual period to date from". I followed up by asking if there were any dangers, and she said no. So...not sure what to do with that. Kind of not interested in going back to the days of...well...you know...protecting. I mean, seriously...protecting against what? So any thoughts or opinions are welcome.

But overall this couldn't have gone any better. We miss you, little precious baby, but we're glad that you went naturally and without ado. Can't wait to start making you a baby sister or brother!
