Hank

Hank is what F and I named the retained pregnancy tissue hanging out in my uterus (We've learned that you need a sense of humor to survive infertility.  The more macabre the better).

The night before the hysteroscopy and d&c, we said our goodbyes to Hank.  It was probably light cramping from the SIS, but I imagined Hank protesting against the walls of my uterus as we talked of his ablation.

My 44 days of miscarriage bleeding and/or spotting?  Hank.

Painful ovulation symptoms with spotting?  Hank.

What I thought was a period, a HEAVY period, only fifteen days after miscarriage spotting stopped?  Nope, Hank

Hank, you bastard.

Wow. Hank is definitely a bastard! Blah. I'm glad that you were quickly able to get in for the procedure and hopefully will heal quickly.

But, yeah, dark humor is sometimes the only way to deal with all this crap!

Hi from ICLW. I agree -- a sense of humor is the best way to handle this. I always tell my hubby, it's either laugh or cry. So long, Hank!
