Sofa bound

30 hours of heavy bleeding and about 12 of lighter bleeding later, 5 episodes of Gilmore Girls and 4 of Judging Amy, I still feel tired (though heavy bleeding will do that to you), but there are no more cramps and the boobs are significantly less sore. I am slightly wondering if there is a little "tissue" left but I am pretty sure the hormone levels are back to zero.

I've told work I'll probably work from home on Thursday but be off till then. I feel like a bit of a fraud as physically I am not too bad - the bleeding was a bit less protracted this time - but there is no way I can stand up in front of a lecture theatre full of students without breaking down, especially if I do the planned class on prenatal brain development. This year's cohort are just going to have to remain ignorant on that count.

PS to Thalia: yes, I am under the care of the RPL clinic, but as they can't find anything wrong with me this care is repeated scans starting at 6 weeks - which is too late if you miscarry at 5+2. Don't know if this will change in any subsequent pregnancy, or if they have any other answers - we at least have a few questions - and the appointment on Friday is at the consultant's clinic, which means we'll see him, or one of his entourage, and get to ask those questions.
