I went to the doctor today and everything is progressing the way a miscarriage is supposed to. My body seems to be taking care of things well enough on its own, so he doesn’t think I need a D&C or other intervention. The cramping is horrible, almost contraction-like, but I took an oxycodone (leftover from surgery in September) and that has definitely taken the edge off.
My beta hcg went all the way down to 2 and the progesterone dropped as well. My doctor doesn’t think that the miscarriage was specifically because of my hormone issues, but it’s too hard to know 100% since it was so early in the game. The guess is that something just wasn’t right and the embryo just stopped growing.
So, now we really do know that 100 mg of Clomid + Premarin + the metformin is the right “fertility cocktail.” I just have to wait for 2 full cycles before we can start TTC again, so that probably won’t be until April at least. That is frustrating, but it is what it is. I can’t change it….can only move on from here.
I’m still an emotional wreck and start crying at weird times, but even that is getting better. Trying to focus on the positive and hope for the best for the future.
