Still spotting, but there don't seem to be any more symptoms. I have been feeling very strong, but once in a while it brings tears to my eyes. My brother reminded me that it's great to be strong, but you still need to go through the sadness. It's true... holding things in and keeping them to yourself is unhealthy, so I let the tears slip out.
I am with my soulmate and my life has so many blessings. Some people never have that.
Something that I was thinking about after all of this ...
The morning after I miscarried, I called my doctor's office to let them know about my miscarriage, cancel my prenatal appointment on Valentine's Day, and to see if I should still go for the second part of the 48hr blood test. I knew it was likely unnecessary, but just wanted to be prudent.
The receptionist checked with the NP and then let me know it would not be necessary, and then that was it. I was talking with my friend and I mentioned how empty and unsure it all feels. I had no idea how long I would bleed and cramp, no idea what to expect. I just think it would be more compassionate care if they offered to email me a little information letter, or something, with things that I had to go and find on the internet, i.e. it's normal to bleed and cramp 3 days to 3 weeks, and consult a doctor after that; do not use tampons as it makes you susceptible to infection; refrain from sex while you heal; you can try to get pregnant again after your first period, or wait for 2 to 3 full cycles for optimum health. Well, at least anyone here now knows these things.
