This has been discussed in various 'closed' forums elsewhere but now it's time to make the public announcement.
In mid/late April I fell pregnant, despite being on the Pill. I took it as a sign that it was 'meant to be'. This is the reason why I postponed the London meet I had planned, and is why I am still unsure as to whether I will be at the Brighton meet.
All was going well-ish, apart from the fact that I was worrying horrendously because my diabetes is not under good control right now, due to the fact that I am on the wrong medication, and awaiting a meeting with my diabetic clinic to get it sorted out.
A little over 3 weeks ago, I had a small bleed. This naturally worried me greatly, and I was booked in for an emergency scan.
At the scan, they discovered that I actually wasn't pregnant at all. I had had what is known as a 'blighted ovum' which is, basically, where the egg implanted itself into the right place, but then, for some unknown reason, did not continue to gorw, and just left an empty sac in the womb. This did grow for a bit, but then, due to the lack of actual pregnancy hormones, started to break down, causing that first bleed.
I opted for letting nature take its course, and yesterday, it did. In great good fashion.
I don't feel great. In fact, I feel like *poo*. I am in some (make that LOTS of) pain, and will probably be for the next few days, as the sac continues to make its way out.
This isn't a sympathy post. This wasn't a planned baby at all, so I'm not all that sad, just a bit disappointed in myself, and naturally right now, I'm feeling a tad sorry for myself. This is merely the explanation of why I've not been around quite as much as usual.
I do intend, all being well, to still go to Brighton. Right now, I need a boiling hot bath (my third one today!) so I'm off, but I'll be back.
*waves*
