Hello I’m new to this site and thought I would write down what has happened to me.
Well where do I start, I haven’t posted on here before I have been reading other peoples post for the last few day’s. Well here my story begins……… I was admitted to hospital on 23rd October (I would have been 13 weeks) and told I had MC, after a scan they said it was a complete so no D and C needed. From then I was still getting lower right abdominal pain. On the 1st nov my doc did a HCG blood test to see if it was back to 0 it came back raised so I had to go for another on 7th Nov and he booked me in for a scan at the epu on the 9th. On Wednesday 8th the pain became so bad I made an emergency appointment to see my doc it was booked for 4.20pm. I rang my DH as there is no way I could get in the car let alone drive myself when he walked through the door he rang the doc to say it wouldn’t wait and he had to see me now, he said to go straight in, When I got there he transfer to the Gyne ward where the Consultant was waiting for me! (That makes a change)
After they tested my water he said I had a UTI but would scan me anyway (don’t think he knows how to do an internal scan) He called a Registrar down who did another scan and I was then signing forms for my BABY to be cremated and for me to have emergency surgery……. This is all within an hour and a half of going to the Doctors!!
Anyway the outcome is I had to have my right tube removed and my baby (Stopped growing at 11 Weeks) who seems to have got lost on there way. They also discovered I have some quite large cyst on my Left Ovaries (that’s another story).
This might seem strange but I’m feeling very lucky NOT because I lost my baby but because I’m still ALIVE. The Doctor said had I been an hour later I wouldn’t be here now.
I thought I had started to get on with my life after being told I had MC’d my baby but now I have been sent back to the start again.
If you managed to read all my post thank you, you don’t need to reply I just wanted to write it down so maybe I could start to take it all in for myself now. I feel I have been watching someone else go through this and that it wasn’t happening to me.
