I went back to my OB today for my follow up appointment. He said that the growth was benign (huge sigh of relief but they still do not know what it is) and that the tissue from the baby came back normal. He said that the growth didn't cause the miscarriage and the miscarriage didn't casue the growth. He did say that if I had remained pregnant this would have probably caused grave danger to either myself of the baby later on. He said that he is hoping that the estrogen had built up the lining of my uterus enough to "heal over" the growth. I go back to have a saline injected ultrasound on 12/21/09 to monitor it and he hopes that it is gone. He said that after two normal cycles (as long at the growth is gone) we can start trying to get pregnant again. He does not see the growth still being there at that time. When I get pregnant again, I will start progesterone immediatly and start getting bloodwork to monitor everything. And, of course early ultrasounds. So, I am so relieved that the growth was benign and now I feel like I can process and grieve the baby.
Nate knew that I was going to the dr and being the little worrier that he is he was talking about it. When I picked him up (literally, I am finally able to lift him again) he asked if I went to the dr. He asked if my tummy felt better and I said yes and he said "did you get your flu shot"? I have no idea how he even knew about the flu shot. He also asked me if the dr "put that crane back in my winky"! Remember he was at my last appt and apparently saw too much!
