I thought I was over this whole miscarriage thing, but I was wrong. I had an appointment with my midwife yesterday and she told me that I should not still be bleeding. They took my blood to check my hormone levels to see if they were still high. I found out today that they were still high. If you are not pregnant then your hormone level should be like two and I was 217. So not what we wanted to hear.
Because my numbers were high I had to start taking a medicine that is suppose to cause me to bleed even more and start cramping and contracting again to try and rid my body of whatever is still in it. I took my firsts dose at 2:30 pm today and I have to take more every eight hours. I think that I have two more doses to take.
If I contract and bleed then I will need to go get my blood taken on Monday morning to check my levels again. If they are way down then I am probably good. If they are still high then I need to schedule a D&C for the next day. If I don't contract and bleed with the medicine, then I will need to go in for a D&C on Monday. My midwife is concerned about me getting an infection, so she doesn't want me to wait too long.
So I have been having some cramps since taking the medicine. I am pretty much just waiting to have a miscarriage again...it sucks. I thought this was almost behind me...I guess I have not learned what I am meant to learn yet.
