We arrived for our appointment with the doctor...Which annoying, she didn't remember me, she said she hadn't met us, but I clearly remember her face and her "oh dear" comment, so I was irritated. She looked at the report from the radiologist and confirmed what I already knew (from my friend Shannon), that yes I still had retained tissue. She said we should probably schedule a D&C. I cried. And then she said, "Oh wait, this shows you have a collapsed follicle. That means you're ovulating and should be getting your period soon.
What? How did we just go from scheduling surgery to I'd be having a period? Such relief!
About 7 days later I started a much heavier flow with cramping, what I assume a miscarriage is truly like.
3 days into my period I took yet another blood test and finally the HCG level was below 1.
So sad, but so happy it was done.
