One of my girlfriends in our church small group had a miscarriage last week. It was also her first, and she was about seven weeks along. She felt cramping and bleeding, went to the doctor, and started getting negative test results almost immediately. The doctor didn't see anything at all on the ultrasound, which makes me think hers was a blighted ovum. This is when the gestational sac develops, but the baby never does. Her body finally realized it and she had a complete miscarriage with no intervention.
I'm sad for her and jealous at the same time. Sad that she is experiencing this pain and sadness, this loss. But jealous that her body did everything right and she's all done, after less than a week.
I'm at 4.5 weeks after D&C, 6 weeks since we found out and 8.5 weeks since the actual miscarriage. And I'm still bleeding. I did finally get a negative test result, and my blood work from this past week came back, saying my hormone level is at 18. Two weeks before, it was at 60, so I hope to be at 0 by this coming Wednesday or Thursday. I want to go back to a normal cycle so badly. I have been more than patient in this. God, I need you to hurry up and heal me.
