Just When You Think It's Over

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.
