It’s been 10 days since I started to miscarry and I am just exhausted from all the emotions and the physical madness that is going on with my body.
My 7 day post-methotrexate injection hCG blood test went very well today. My levels have almost exactly halved since monday, from 2696 to 1358, and dropped 58% overall since the injection was administered. This bodes well for successful treatment. I am even allowed to travel to Stockholm – as long as I am not having any pain. I am not going to hide it, I have been suffering with pain for past two evenings now (weird how it is mostly in the evening). Last night I struggled to sleep because of it. The 500mg extra strength acetaminophen doesn’t seem to cut the mustard, but the acetaminophen with codeine #3 I was prescribed for pain relief after my egg retrieval seems to work a bit better.
My favourite nurse drew my blood today, she asked how I was doing. I just replied ‘eughhh’. She understood and nothing more was said.
Here are two photos of my cat Diesel….sympathising with my ‘eughhh’ feeling. Chris managed to take these beauties yesterday evening in an impromptu photo shoot…..

What would we do without our fur babies to keep us sane?

Sorry you are having to go through the physical and emotional pain. I know them both and in my experience the emotional is way harder. So glad you have your sweet kitty to give you love and sympathy. I could not have made it without my dogs in the past. They just KNEW when I needed a little extra love and they brought me so much comfort. xoxo
