Thanks so so much for your kind thoughts and words - it really does help. I am going in for D & C tomorrow - it's a week now since I found out but I have to say although I have all that time to get used to the idea of having my baby removed it still feels like it's going to be a very upsetting experience. After tomorrow I will be back to 'normal'.
Thanks again to you all. I hope you are all doing okay. Love Vicky

Getting past the D&C was a huge step in the healing process for me. Physically my experience was not too bad - I was under a light anesthesia for the procedure, so I wasn't aware of what was going on but I also woke up pretty quickly afterwards. I had very minor cramping the day of the procedure (less than after the egg retrieval, actually) and some off and on spotting for a couple weeks afterwards. It seems strange, but emotionally it was good to get through the D&C as well; it provided a sense of closure that I really needed.
Things *do* get back to normal - a different kind of normal, certainly, but I do feel better today than I ever dreamed I would a month ago. I hope that gives you some hope.
Take care, we'll be thinking of you.
