Follow Up After M/C

I thought the appointment today was just ok. I really don't have much to take away from it. Basically here is what I heard:

Good:
I got pg. So now we don't have to try to figure out why I didn't get pg, we know I can.

Bad:
I lost it.

However, all my hormones were good so he concluded that something was wrong with the embryo. He thinks one implanted by the Beta number (oh, and he said was excited to see my first number, 33). I did find out that my second beta was 3.

Now I am going to go back in 2 weeks to check my progesterone to see if I ovulated. Then if AF doesn't arrive that week he gave me Provera to start it. Then we will start over with the FET again. So if AF starts on time, my FET will be mid-Feb. I only have 2 appts before the transfer: the progesterone test and then my u/s and b/w the few days before. So I'm happy to hear I don't have to go that often.

I mentioned that I didn't bleed much and he said he didn't expect me too. Something about my lining and it being a medicated cycle, he thinks it's normal for how much I bled.

I asked him what he would do differently, if I needed to do IVF again, to prevent OHSS. I told him I am definitely scared to ever do it again and he told me what he could have done different to prevent it. Basically they didn't think it would end up like it did, but now that they know they will watch me more closely and do an antagonist cycle.

I really left there thinking "He's so nice, I really like him. But...what was the point of that appt? I knew it didn't work (well, you know what I mean) and I knew I would start the FET after AF comes." I was bummed out the rest of the day and just wanted to go to bed. Something needs to shake me out of this funk...I hate feeling like this.
