Journal entry 6/18/10
So yesterday I had my follow up appointment for my D&C; I can't believe how nervous I was. Luckily I was the only one in the waiting room, but while sitting in the room waiting for the OB I started to feel a little overwhelmed. I know it's crazy since I have been to that office so many times, but this is the first time being back there since I found out about the miscarriage. I teared up a little but was able to hold it together. My OB just asked how things were going and how my recovery has been and then to much relief she said she wasn't going to do an exam unless I really wanted one (I was so happy to not have to go through that!). We talked about ttc and she said there is no medical reason to wait and that just go for it when I am ready, which I am SOOOOOOOO ready to try for another baby. She gave me a script for Folate (to make sure I am getting more folic acid) and suggested that when I do get pregnant again as a preventive measure to start taking a baby aspirin a day. I was so excited to get home and tell my hubby the good news so we can get started!
I am going to try and not let myself get so focused on baby making so that I don't get let down too much if it takes some time to get pg again. I pray that God won't make us wait to long for another miracle : )

Congrats on your clean bill of health! Luckily you didn\'t have to have an exam!!!! I know what you mean about being overwhelmed in the office. It was nice it was empty and not full of pg woman taunting you (although they don\'t know they are taunting us!!!!). I pray all goes well & you will get pg again quickly!
I am a little confused that the doc can tell you that you are clear medically when they didn\'t do the exam. I know it is not any fun nor something to look forward to however, I would think it would be necessary just to make sure all is well on the ranch.
I am however very happy for you that you were given the green light to start trying again, I even envy you a little bit...well ok a bunch! But with good thoughts and high hopes that you will have success soon. Waiting for the green light is the hardest part for us that\'s for sure.
Huggs of good luck headed your way!!!
Thanks you guys!! I wish you both the best of luck if/when you decide to ttc again : ) Wysper, I think the reason she didn\'t check me is that I have seen her for the past 7 years and had a normal history and the pathology report from the d&c didn\'t show anything abnormal that make us concerned. Plus I trust her alot......HUGS to you both!
