I finally bleed on my own today, is that mean I am free
from Asherman now?
My 22nd June appointment was cancelled due to Dr. I's
business trip. Another ultrasound scanned today was alright. I obviously do not
need any Provera or Progynova anymore to bring on my next cycle. So really
crossed fingers, my next cycle will be on time naturally. Take note here:
uterus lining was at 7.6 mm, break for a cycle or two I am allowed to enter the
2nd IVF.
By the way, when DH went to the cashier desk, I also noted there’s an
increment of Dr. I's consultation fee, almost 60% rise in rates, so one shot
consultation becomes IDR 400.000,- now from normal rates. Hmmm....60%
rise, its not an up-tick increase anyway huh?

Alright..so
here I am again, flashed back a bit..I did my D&C on 24 March, and I still
have got no period even after getting all period symptoms such as dull, throbbing, cramping, bloating, weight gain. I went
checked my b-HCG levels which has already down to <5, so I am perfectly clean.
DH scheduled me to meet Dr. I today - by means my period has been absent
for almost 2 months and 2 weeks, err… a red light as they said. After an ultrasound
that showed no bad news, Dr. I prescribed Provera 10mg and Progynova 2mg for
10 days to bring on my period and said I’ll probably get mine between 16th
– 22nd June. He also mentioned about Asherman syndrome which scared the
heck out of me. However, I was asked to see him again on the 22nd
June.
A missed miscarriage can be an extremely traumatic experience for a couple. A missed miscarriage is the term referred to when a woman has a miscarriage without any symptoms. This typically is something that’s discovered when there’s lack of a fetal heartbeat at a check-up, when a woman sees the doctor due to lack of pregnancy symptoms that were previously felt or when this is discovered as a result of an ultrasound. Missed miscarriage can be a shock to a woman who believed her pregnancy was average and did not suspect any problems.
While most women experience bleeding and/or cramping while
having a miscarriage, a missed miscarriage is when the fetal simply dies but is
not expelled from the body. This can be extremely shocking to the patient who
was not aware of any problems in her pregnancy and can be difficult to overcome
on an emotional level.
Miscarriages are difficult at any time. Whether the woman who
was pregnant discovers she’s had a chemical pregnancy, a blighted ovum, a
missed miscarriage or a miscarriage that occurred as most do, with accompanying
bleeding and cramping and a lot of waiting, it’s going to be a traumatic
experience that will take some getting over.
When a woman experiences a missed miscarriage or any other type
of pregnancy loss, she needs care, rest, moral support and reassurance. When
the majority of women become pregnant, they instantly become attached to the
life within them and that loss is as grievous as losing someone that you have
already met and loved. There are support groups and books on this subject that
can help a couple work through the associated emotions.
It’s important to realize that miscarriages, including missed
miscarriages occur more often than you might think. General statistics indicate
that one in five pregnancies ends in miscarriage through no fault of anyone. A
miscarriage is most often due to the embryo being unviable due to chromosomal
defects. While the pain and loss associated with miscarriage makes it feel
anything but common, it truly is part of life for many women and most of the
women that have to suffer this loss do still go on to have successful
pregnancies.
When a woman has recurrent miscarriages such as three or more, a
doctor will more closely examine the reason for this. It could be due to
uterine problems within the woman or other medical reasons that might be able
to be worked on. While miscarriage can be an extremely difficult and
frustrating thing to deal with, there are specialists that can help couples
successfully succeed in many cases.

04.00 am I woke up and passed blood clots with mild cramp. DH packed up and took me to the hospital then I was admitted to One Day Care for D&C. I was so nervous. I have laid in bed completely awake for 3 days by now, when I got a chance to have a small talk with Dr. ARS (anesthesiologist) and his assistant, I wish they can sedate me deep enough for maybe 1 or 2 hrs after D&C.
The D&C procedure performed
by Dr. I only taken about 7 minutes as confirmed by DH. But the worst part
(besides feeling rotten emotionally) was waiting for what seemed like an eternity. Post
D&C, I was wake up in bits and pieces, feel groggy and thirsty. Alive but a corpse inside.
At 2.30 pm, I was released
and they let us take the remains home. I am so over.
[01.30 pm]
Get my ultrasound today.
No luck. Our little one started to bleed and my gestational sac started
to collapse and shrinking. Dr. I told us it would only be a matter of couple days for me to have miscarriage. He presented both sides of what we can do but
suggested us of having D&C. I was so crushed. I really don’t know what to do, I have been on
such an emotional roller coaster past few weeks in this waiting miscarriage
game.
[04.00 pm]
We finally decided and agreed to book for D&C
tomorrow at 10.00 am.
Medication Lists:
Gastrul, 1 to be taken orally at 10.00 pm tonight and
another one to be inserted vaginally at 07.00 am in the morning (3 hrs before
D&C)
