Just a little update in case anyone was following or wondered. The day of and after the procedure was the best I have felt in over 5 years…I forgot what it felt like to not have a clouded mind. I waited an entire 36 hours after the procedure to take 2 mg. of Subutex…so all together I was off the subutex for almost 72 hours. I did not have any issues taking the medication, and found the 2 mg was very sufficient despite me being on 8 mg before all of this. I did have some muscle cramping and a bit of a runny nose before I took it. I secretly wished there was someway I could be knocked out everyday and wake up feeling normal and then not have to take the sub ever again.
I have come to the realization that I will most likely never be "normal again" without some sort of divine intervention.

One thing that has put my mind at ease for the decision I made, was I was told that pregnancy was not viable and I would have most likely needed a D&C anyways. Since I have had a healthy pregnancy and baby before, I have to wonder if the sub caused the baby to stop growing. I will never know.
