erin74kr's Journal, 23 Sep 10

Eek, awkward journal entry ahead.

Hesitated to write about this here, but this is about my health and wellness and no one from real life reads it, so it should be ok. If it makes anyone uncomfortable, I apologize.

I went to the doctor after experiencing those insane hunger cravings last week. There was something weird going on with my body, i could feel it. Turns out I am/was about a month pregnant, and when doing an ultrasound, they couldn't see it so they deduced it was an ectopic pregnancy, so I've been given a treatment to basically force a miscarriage, or a 'medical abortion', since ectopic pregnancies are extremely dangerous.

Now, it was pretty stupid of me to be so lax on birth control that this could happen. I've never been pregnant before and that was definitely not in the life plan.

I don't really have any feelings on the situation yet, I've just done the treatment today. I've continued to go to the gym every day, but my eating habits have varied a bit, with the cravings and the stress of the situation. When I first foudn out, I was pretty much in shock/scared, and couldn't see past the situation at all. Fortunately, I was kind of jolted back into reality, and the realization of how irresponsible unprotected sex can be. Luckily, after doing many, many tests and blood tests, I have a clean bill of health down there, so that's very lucky, except for this situation of course.

I've just started the treatment today, and it will take a few weeks for the hormones to go back to normal. Not going to scold myself too harshly if I experience any gains or losses over the next few weeks, but I'm more committed than ever about my health. I don't really want to think about what would've happened had keeping the pregnancy been an option, what with a border seperating me and my significant other, and all that. Makes me question the relationship situation that I'm in a bit, to be honest.

Wow, that's intense. I doubt there's really a right thing to say so I WILL say that as one of your fake life friends, my thoughts are with you & it's ok to feel however you end up feeling about it after the shock kinda wears off. Hang in there hon! (((hugs)))

Thanks k. Aww I didn't mean you guys were fake life friends, just online friends, you know? It kind of feels like I'm in some horrible teen drama or something, except I'm 26. Thanks for the kind words, it'll all be ok, just a really weird unexpected wrench thrown into the mix.

I'm glad to hear that otherwise you are in good health & so glad this was caught early. I think you're incredibly brave for sharing that w/ us. I hope that the feelings of "ok" remain well after the shock wears off. It definitely gives you alot to think about but as stated above, don't get too caught up in your head. *Big Hugs* = )

That does sound pretty scary. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself and that it was caught early.
