My names Natalie, I’m 29 and have been married to my hubby for nearly five years now. We have been TTC for four of them. I found out after a year of trying I have Poly Cystic ovaries. I was put on Clomid with no luck and then onto Metformin 500mg one three times a day. I caught to our delight in April 2007 we were over the moon our dreams had finally come true then at 12 weeks pregnant I had a miscarriage - I was expecting it as my HCG levels were not rising and they couldn’t find a heart beat on the scan. Even-though I was expecting it nothing could have prepared me for my heart break. We decided we wouldn’t be beaten, and continued with the Metformin that seemed to be my fertility drug. Then on the 1st September 2007 my life changed and nearly ended. I was eight weeks pregnant with our second baby I’d been to see the Dr with abdominal pain on the Thursday and he said to wait and see what happens due to my previous miscarriage. I waited till the Saturday when I have never experienced the pain I went through that day. My hubby rushed me to hospital, where on immediate arrival to A and E they rushed me straight down to Gyne. My consultant went to scan my stomach but when he looked at me , he threw the probe down and said to his staff I want immediate surgery. It all happened so quickly, Four hours, two blood transfusions, several stitches and one less tube later I was still alive but I’d lost our precious baby.
There are just no answers to the question WHY? and that is hard. It’s still really raw and the pain hurts so bad, two babies I’ve lost and I don’t know why. The NHS says you have to loose three before they start to investigate why!!! Life is so sad, I’m so Thankful I’m still here, just keep thinking though if it wasn’t for modern technology and other peoples blood I really wouldn’t be here today and that to hurts.
Hopefully we’ll have that baby we so long for, but I can’t tempt fate anymore. I’m no longer going to take Metformin, if it’s ment to be,it will happen.
All the best to everyone.
