Yeah, being able to sleep at night is my primary concern. The first few days without Seroquel were a little hard. First night I got a major headache and stomachache, but I eventually camped out in the shower and my husband gave me Tylenol and some Benadryl which all combined helped the headache and helped me get sleepy. Been weaning down on the Benadryl and the last few nights I haven't needed it every night to fall asleep, only sometimes. Soon I think I will be okay with it altogether, and I intend to get some Melatonin to take on occasion.

I'm not saying that anyone should stop taking meds they need to stay safe, I am just starting to think that maybe the risks are outweighing the benefits for me at the time. It could change at any moment, but for now, I think it might be the way to go. I am taking it one day at a time.

And thank you everyone for your kind words. It is certainly disappointing, but it helps knowing there was never a heartbeat and we never saw an actual fetus. I think I only got to about three or four weeks along. So it is sad, yes, but I am trying to think of it as I didn't actually lose something that wasn't there. And we will try again as soon as the doctor gives an all clear. It will just be a few months longer to wait than we thought. It would have been a lot harder if I got to second or third trimester. For religious reasons, I always had the mindset that life begins at conception, but now I'm not so sure about that. We saw on the ultrasound what would've become the placenta, just nothing was inside of that.
