Spontaneous abortion, which is the loss of a pregnancy without outside intervention before 20 weeks' gestation, affects up to 20 percent of recognized pregnancies. Spontaneous abortion can be subdivided into threatened abortion, inevitable abortion, incomplete abortion, missed abortion, septic abortion, complete abortion, and recurrent spontaneous abortion. Ultrasonography is helpful in the diagnosis of spontaneous abortion, but other testing may be needed if an ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out. Chromosomal abnormalities are causative in approximately 50 percent of spontaneous abortions; multiple other factors also may play a role. Traditional treatment consisting of surgical evacuation of the uterus remains the treatment of choice in unstable patients. Recent studies suggest that expectant or medical management is appropriate in selected patients. Patients with a completed spontaneous abortion rarely require medical or surgical intervention. For women with incomplete spontaneous abortion, expectant management for up to two weeks usually is successful, and medical therapy provides little additional benefit.

They said time heals all wounds.
If that was true, then maybe time is too slow for me because my wound is still bleeding it won't stop no matter what I do. I am losing blood and I am practically dying from hypovolemic shock.
"Hey. Going somewhere?"
"To hell. Wanna join me?"
"Sarcasm's gone a way up, I see. But yeah sure." I rolled my eyes.
"Why did I even bother to ask. Of course it's a given. You belong in hell, Terrence."
I sipped on my matcha milk tea and stared at him with dead eyes. Nakakairita. Panira ng araw. Ayokong maging impokrita and pretend that I am ok when I am actually irritated and want to bite his head off. I can not afford to get another reprimand from my superior, baka pabalikin na ako sa states kung sakali. I am still enjoying my time here, minus the annoying Terrence who keeps bugging me every now and then.
"Talk to me. Please. Hayaan mo naman akong magsalita at ipaliwanag nang maayos ang sarili ko. You left without any word and hid from everyone. I looked for you. I waited for you but you did not come back. Hindi mo man lang ako hinayaang makapagsalita. Hindi mo man lang ako binigyan ng pagkakataon na ipaliwanag ang sarili ko at bumawi sa yo! Do you loathe me that much?"
I breathed deeply and closed my eyes tightly.
"Hell? You didn't know what I've been through. Ginawa mo akong tanga! Ginawa mo akong kabit! I was so stupid to trust you! Jake told me not to trust you, but I chose to. You know why? Kasi mahal kita. Minahal kita! Putangina. Bakit, Terrence? I was your number 2? I was your fucking side chick!"
"No! It isn't like that! You got it all wrong!"
"Kulang pa ba lahat ng pasakit na binigay mo sa akin? Why are you still lying? You are married to Stacy! You married her! She is your legal wife! And you were having sex with me behind her back! I trusted you. I trusted you more than Jake. Turns out he was right. You will be my biggest lesson learned in life. Sana hindi na lang talaga kita nakilala."
"Listen. I loved you, I really did. I still do. Please give me a chance. I want us back, An. Please come back to me. I'm so lost without you, An."
"Ano yun? You want me back? Are you bored and you don't have anyone to fuck? Ask any of the single girls there, maybe one of the doctors or the nurses might want a quickie with you. Ask them. Wag ako. I don't want to make my life complicated. I am happy with my life, thank you very much. Ayokong may bigla na lang susugod sa akin dito at sasabunutan ako. I already made the right choice years ago. Leaving you gave me a chance at happiness."
