Warning- stop reading now if you don’t want to hear about blood or my uterus.
Guess who gets to prepare for Christmas by having a d&c tomorrow? Yay it’s me! I know how jealous you must be of me right now. The girl who loses a fallopian tube in the spring, spends the summer puking because of Clomid, the fall puking because of nerves now gets to spend the winter getting her uterus scraped out!
I haven’t blogged about any of this because, well, who really wants to know about my incessant bleeding? But it’s finally come to a head and now I have to go to the hospital so my girlie bits have finally become blog worthy.
So, I got my period (a rare occurrence) the Thursday before Halloween. It hasn’t stopped. So in November my obgyn put me on Prometrium to get it to stop, but it didn’t. Then a month ago she put me on a high dosage birth control pill, taking 3 pills a day (oy the puking that came with that flood of hormones). That didn’t work either. So my doctor just called me back after my last report in of yes, even more bleeding. So they want me to come in for the d&c.
I’ve never had one. I’m scared. I don’t like pointy things coming near my girlie bits. I don’t even like the word scrape. I especially don’t like it when it’s connected with anything tender below the belt. Shudder.

Shannon – I’ve had the unfortunate experience of a D&C several years ago. I’m not going to lie and tell you that it’s a pleasant experience, but it was *managable* in the realm of pain and post-anxiety. Good luck to you!
