We started our day off at Dr. A's office this morning for the follow-up appointment. I am happy to say that everything looked good - no need for surgery!! I had to have blood taken as well to make sure my hcg level is down to zero...I really, really hope it is so I don't have to go back for another blood draw this week. Dr. A also said they should have the pathology report back in another couple of weeks. Once they are back we are going to go in and chat with Dr. A about the results and what is next for us. Truly, I have no idea what is next. I am trying really hard to just heal from what has happened and not think about what's next yet.
I also got the name of a therapist. I had seen one a couple of times after the 3rd m/c...she was good but not great. I think my big turn-off was after the last appointment when I was talking about everything I was dealing with and she said "So what is it that I can do for you?" Um, I just gave you a BUNCH of material...can't you find a way to help? I was just really surprised when she asked.
It's still sunny and cool here in SA but should be getting warmer this week. Back up into the 70s...I can't believe what a wimp I've become since moving south. Speaking of weather, our thoughts are with all of our friends and family up north who are in the path of Sandy. Stay safe my friends!!
It is always hard to plan your next move after a failed cycle or a miscarriage. I hope that you are able to move forward with whatever you choose.
ReplyDeleteI have found the same problem with therapist. Always good but not great.
Our nurse had so many good things to say about the one they recommended...I hope she is that good.
DeleteSo glad you wont need surgery. I hope you can find a therapist who is more use, I never find that question helpful, I feel they ought to be able to figure out how to help you. Surely that is their job!
ReplyDeleteI can understand asking the question in the beginning but not several sessions in to it...hopefully I find a good one!
DeleteI'm so relieved that the miscarriage is over. Although I know waiting for those test results is agonizing. I'm guessing you want to know what they are AND not know all at the same time. Stay strong my friend.
ReplyDeleteAs you know I'm on the search of a new therapist after my debacle last week. Most of the ones I've spoken with during a preliminary interview (on the phone) have ask me straight out what I need. Since my last one didn't offer anything except a sympathetic ear, I've taken this opportunity to spell it out for them: strategies for dealing with the stress & anxiety of infertility, coping mechanisms for handling grief and loss, and help with dealing with infertility in my marriage. And honestly, their answers to this have allowed me to identify who I think would be a good fit for me. There *are* good infertility therapists out there, they are just hard to find. ALSO, check out the Resolve.org website- they have a list of therapists specific to regions. Every therapist I've talked to from that list has been amazing!
I am anxious about the path report...we didn't have #3 tested and I still kick myself for it.
DeleteI am definitely going to check out the Resolve website as well...thanks!
yay no surgery! good luck on the therapist search! I nominated you for the liebster award too~ :D
