Away again

My work has sent me to a conference in Victoria for a couple days, so I'm off again.  I really wasn't sure how this was going to work with a pending miscarriage, but here I am, past 10 weeks with no bleeding, spotting or cramping, so I decided I'd take the trip.  I was a bit anxious leading up to going away, specifically because DH isn't with me.  I feel that he is my saving grace for whenever this disaster decides to strike.  Even at lunch before I left I was lamenting and telling him I didn't want to go.  But now that I'm here, I think it will be nice and I will try to enjoy myself.  My colleague who I went with even was sweet and right off the bat told me that we should have a "plan" in case "anything happens" during the conference.  I have her cell phone number and she is willing to be there for me and take care of me.  Isn't that sweet?  I had to tell her what was going on since I'm travelling with her and we're staying at her mom's house... but she's been great.  Also DH is ready to drive up in a heartbeat if I need.  I feel pretty confident though that there are no inclinations that a miscarriage is going to come in the next few days.  Nothing has changed (apart from my boobs resuming their normal small size).  I feel like my body isn't going to kick into gear to end this any time soon. 

 I did (and I really don't know why) take a pee test yesterday (I had one left and decided it had to go) and the positive line came up immediately.  However, I KNOW that Hcg remains in your body even AFTER you miscarry until your levels diminish enough to start ovulation again.  So I don't know why I did it.  I just wanted to see some sign of what was going on in my body, and maybe if the hcg is lowering, I thought it would mean the miscarriage is coming soon.  I don't feel one ounce pregnant though. I even had a glass of red wine tonight. 

So, that's where I'm at.  Ultrasound on Thursday, and then I'll probably schedule a D&C for the week after, right about 12 weeks.  I figure if my body doesn't do this naturally, I'll just get it over with as soon as possible.  The stories about taking the misoprostol scare me...  And sometimes you have to have a D&C anyways.  I trust my doctor and that he knows what he is doing (though he did say that the worst case risk is  puncturing a hole through the uterus, and if that punctures a blood vessel and you start hemmoraging that they may have to take out your uterus!  He said that in his 30 years of practice, he has never done that...still!).  Yikes!
