99 days

Today marks 99 days of wearing a pad or pantyliner every single day. The panty-protection started with the prometrium I used vaginally twice daily starting at 3 dpo, which causes a bit of messiness. Then came the D&C and the bleeding that followed, and then spotting that I experienced nearly every day between the D&C and now. 99 days is a long time. Hopefully, my underwear (and the rest of me!) will be liberated very soon.

That is so horrible when you attach a number to it! Nikole, I really want you to experience a little "normal" soon!

That is so awful. I hope you get a break soon.

Take care

Ugh, and now with your period here you're about to hit triple digits. Hopefully in a few days you will be able to return to the comfort of plain underwear.

I'm curious if you've spoken to your doctor about the karotype results. It seems unlikely that all of your miscarriages could have been due to this. I would be interested to hear if this changes his/her opinion about your other miscarriages. I'm so sorry all of this is happening at once.

I hope you get to ditch the pads soon. Right now I feel like I'm walking like a duck (I'm usually a tampon gal).

Oh, I hear you, Nikole. I am beginning to think that I should have bought stock in Kotex. I hope that you soon will be able to be sans any type of pad for a while.

Oh Nikole, I am with ya hon. It sucks. I don't know how many days exactly, but since April 30th, when I started the m/c for me. It's horrible. I feel somehow, like a child having to wear diapers. Luckily for you, it should be back to normal soon. I hope with this, you'll be able to move forward.
