In Limbo until February

So I had my first doctor's visit post m/c on the 28th. I had crazy swollen lymph nodes and was worried about having an infection but they just disappeared over the weekend and the doc said she didn't see anything that was cause for alarm so I should be fine.

I did learn something interesting though. Apparently they didn't know for sure that it was an ectopic pregnancy. The u/s showed no baby in the uterus and the lining was thin so there couldn't have been one there that was just missed. They didn't see one anywhere else though. They presumed it was ectopic - maybe on the right since that's where I had pain afterwards. The only thing they were sure of was that since my numbers went down, it was a failed pregnancy.

The sucky part about this is that she told me that I had to wait two cycles to try again. She said that there could still be some inflammation from the m/c and she wanted my lining to build up properly before we tried again. So it looks like DH and I are back to condoms. He certainly didn't like that as it's been about 6 yrs since we've done that.

We did BD yesterday for the first time since the m/c. I finally have my libido back, yay! I have no idea when/if I will ovulate so I'm hoping that one time unprotected won't cause us a problem. (it's weird to hope not to be prego...)

Anywho, it looks like I'm in limbo until about mid to late February depending on when I get my first AF.
