I had my D&C yesterday (it was originally supposed to be today, but the doctor moved me up). It went as well as could be expected. I took today off work, but I think I'll be able to go back tomorrow. Physically I'm feeling fine. Mentally, I think I've had time to process the loss and am ready to get out of the house.
The doctor was awesome. Unlike my last D&C, she feels no need to track my betas down to <5 (which is awesome, because last time it took a long time for my levels to drop, and the repeated blood draws were very stressful). She said we can start TTC again after one cycle. I'll probably take an HPT after one period and make sure that it comes back negative before we try again, just to make sure it's not due to lingering elevated HCG. I wasn't as far along this time as I was last time, so I'm hoping my levels will drop faster.
Overall, I found this to be a much different experience than my first MMC a few years ago (before C). Last time we were shocked and devastated, and could only focus on how much we wanted to try again, which ended up being really frustrating because a lot of things out of our control got in the way of us being able to TTC again afterward. This time we went into it knowing that this was a distinct possibility, and I think we were more mentally prepared when it did happen. And we're less fixated on NEEDING to try again right away.
I really appreciate all of the support that you guys have offered. You're a great group :-)
