17 days over. No bleeding but some pain which worsens when I do physical activity.
Phoned my GP to ask for a second opinion. He said it sounds like very early miscarriage and that I should take the pills if that is what the clinic recommended. He said that while I am taking the pills (I have to have 5 of them), I won't get any bleeding, then as soon as I stop taking them, I will get bleeding to flush everything out.
He said it was safe and that some women who haven't even had a miscarriage take them to suppress the period while they go on holiday. I was appalled.
I said 'You actually give out drugs for recreational purposes?' He said yes, many women choose to control their cycle with drugs so they can go to Spain or somewhere and not have a period while they are away.
I have never heard of anything so immoral. I thought medicine was meant for helping with ailments, not as a recreational convenience thing. Ugh!
Anyway, he said the side-effects would be bloating and stomach cramp, but I've got that anyway now so I don't think it matters.
I've decided to re-check my HCG level on Tuesday and if it doesn't register anymore, I will pick up the pills from the chemist on that day.
Other stuff:
I've paid the graphic designer now for my vaccination book design (paid in full) so it will be all systems go from here! I'll have to start working on a different one soon.
Took DD4 to Lunchtime, Playtime. Felt a bit painful walking all that way but it was good to get out of the house.
I have been roped into a Management Committee meeting on Friday, for the group! Don't really know why I agreed to that one, LOL
I've been cooking all real home-cooked recipes lately to cheer myself up so I'm off in a minute to rustle something up!
