This Could Be the Start of Something

My first trip to the bathroom this morning: nothing on the pad I wore to bed as a precaution because I was feeling crampy last night.  But when I wiped there was a large dark red clot, the first blood red I have seen so far. 

So this could be the start of something.  I don't have consistent cramps as of yet, though, so it could be a few more days.

I did go to acupuncture yesterday afternoon.  She worked the "forbidden" points.  I think I will make another appointment with her if the miscarriage doesn't happen by the end of the week.  If it does happen in the next couple of days, then I think I will make follow-up appointments with her until my beta drops to zero, in case she can help expel all of the tissue and prevent the need for a d&c.

She also mentioned working my sacral area after the miscarriage for future pregnancy.  When I told her that I did 3 months of "aggressive" acupuncture treatment for fertility prior to beginning medical treatment she asked, "And you didn't get pregnant naturally?"  I wanted to laugh.  Even so, I sort of like her and I am open to a new approach in the next month or so as we wait for our FET cycle.

Sounds like the start to me- hopefully soon!

Sounds very promising but as I've said mine took a full week from the first clot and first red blood, so you still might have to give it a little time. Hoping it's as quick and painless as it can be!

I hope this is the beginning of things getting moving.
