Okay, since clearly I am (unfortunately) not the only one...
I haven't found a doctor I trust here yet, although I've been looking, so, since I trust all of you, I have a question...

It's been just over two weeks since the miscarriage. I was just under seven weeks. It appears to have been a complete M/C, no D&C needed, and the level of hcg is pretty much gone. (May actually be, last week it was really low, and just had the blood taken today.)

The thing is, I still feel exhausted. I slept for two days after I got home from the ER. I've had a ton of dizziness...so much that I had trouble driving the first week. It is getting better, but I still feel like I could fall asleep while typing this at work.

Did any of you have this?? Is this normal?? When should it be going away? I asked people at the hospital, I asked the GP I've seen, I asked the OB. The OB was the first to say that I "may experience some dizziness the first two weeks." I can't find anything useful on the internet, other than "emotional recovery will often take longer than physical recovery." (Yes, I know that...and I know how to deal with that...)

I'm so tired I can't think straight. I have been taking it easy. A couple of horribly failed attempts at light exercise have convinced me that that is not the right approach. The first time I thought I would pass out...and after only doing a couple of light reps on my first machine. I waited a week and half, went for a leisurely bike ride over the weekend, and thought I would pass out when I got home. Not fun.

Anyway...is this something I should be concerned about? I'm eating plenty, so it's nothing like that. Sleeping okay. Just dizzy and tired. It gets worse when they take blood. I've noticed I tend to feel better the more food I get in me. So...when I get up, I feel lousy, but as I eat/drink through the day, I feel better.

Incidentally Caverna, DH was the one going around telling everyone when I got pregnant. He was sooo excited. I actually wanted to hold off a bit, but he was having too much fun. I had pretty much only told people I would have told about the M/C anyway. Besides...I was enjoying his enthusiasm.

Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving....it was pretty quiet and low-key here.
