Miscarried this past Tuesday: blighted ovum

Tweet

I've been MIA for a while, just taking some time out to heal and cope with life. I started bleeding on Thursday the 14th, and miscarried on the 19th. I'm pretty much at the end of it now, but it has taken a toll on my body and taking longer to recover than I thought it would. I had a blighted ovum, which means a sac formed, but nothing grew in the sac. I thought that it would make it easier for me to pass it all, but it has not been. Emotionally, it's obviously hard, but physically even harder. I've been in quite a bit of pain, moreso on Tuesday but off and on since then. I had gone to the ER on Tuesday night because I honestly thought I was bleeding to death during it all. On this past Sunday, I went back to the ER because I thought by then things should have been more complete, and to me it wasn't. So I went to get checked out. They said that I was okay, but unfortunately it was going to take longer for me to pass everything. It's exhausting to go through all of this, especially with having to deal with everyday life, and take care of my toddler. I've not been sleeping that well either. I've been waking up with cramps, or bad headaches, and recently now having night mares. Sunday at the hospital they did give me a lose prescription for xanax which is supposed to help with my nerves. I've take it since then, and I am starting to feel better, but I know it's only because of the medicines. Another thing that came up at the ER on Sunday was my blood pressure. It was 201/80 which is pretty high. THey said it was probably becuse I was upset and in pain. However, yesterday I took my blood pressure at one of the stands at the store and it was 137/81, which I think is not normal either. I'm hoping that I'm now not going to start having blood pressure issues, I think I'm going through enough already. Hoping that since I've been away for a bit that all of my Mylot friends are doing well.
