Picking the scab

I'm back at work today after taking yesterday off. I was starting to get caught up from missing work, but then I got a call from the Dr.'s office.

The nurse called me to come in for another blood draw to see if my betas are dropping. If they aren't I'll probably have to take a pill or have a procedure called a D&C (dilation and curettage) in which they remove the contents from my uterus. I'd like to avoid that, so hopefully this draw will show my HCG level at zero.

Of course this all resulted in me becoming an emotional wreck. I left work to go to the Dr.'s office in tears, and I sat in the waiting room for nearly an hour watching all of these lucky pregnant women get called in for their ultrasounds. I'm sure it was extremely awkward for them too, seeing me silently crying in the corner of the waiting room.

I'm still bleeding, but not cramping. I think I'm lucky in that regard, as I've heard some horror stories about contractions and cramps while miscarrying.

Hopefully I won't have to go back to the Dr.'s office for this. I am running low on sanity, and I'm not sure how much more I can take.
