Another gushing bleed just happened (very tmi) **updated P2 & finally on P4!!

[dan-o]

It just happened again, I was chatting on the phone & suddenly, with no warnings.. whoosh!!.. a big rush of fresh red blood & a biggish bright red clot comes out, (about the size/shape/consistency of half a raw chicken breast)
The blood was enough to entirely soak one of those big pads, thank god I was wearing one 'just in case'.
I've only ruined my pants this time, I manged to get the rest of my clothes off before the blood soaked in (luxury of this happening at home & not in the middle of asda!)

Not even a cramp first, it didn't hurt when it came out & I was hardly even bleeding before. So bizarre. I'm cramping afterwards, but nothing major.

I'm home alone, so I tried NHS direct, which was busy, so had the brainwave of calling the gyne ward who did my ERPC, & luckily spoke to the ward sister.
She asked for the whole story start to finish & seemed quite horrified by it.

She's booked me the first scan slot for monday morning

She said if the bleeding continues or I feel dizzy/ill over the weekend, to ring them on the ward first so they can prepare for me & then come right to A&E/call an ambulance.

She also said none of this is normal, not even the 23 days of bleeding ater the ERPC was normal. I should have bled for a week or two and thats it!!
I can't belive someone has actually listened to me!

I have renewed hope, I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere

How did you get on missus? xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[dan-o]

Well, you guys are not going to believe this...

I went for my scan, first thing this morning. ( i must request copies of all these scans, they are fascinating!)
My lining is no longer thick, but there is still a round mass in my uterus, (2cm) so not very big compared to the clots I was passing
Ovaries looked lovely, totally back to non pregnant & with lots of follies.
The sonographer & EPU team think the mass is a classic case of retained products. EPU nurse calls the gyne ward who get me a bed within 1/2 hr for an emergency D&C to remove it today.
Anyway, I had loads of bloods done, nil by mouth all day, drip in, swabs taken, everything sorted ready for op & then.. nothing.
In the menatime two ectopics come in, so I get pushed down the queue as they are life threatening.
Finally 4.30pm, a gyne consultant comes round to see me and tells me I can go home after all???

& this is the best part..

She tells me:

1. I don't have a molar or anything to suggest I had a molar (eh?)
2. my pregnancy hormone is fine going down this slow, as long as I dont have any more flooding/bleeding
3. having another D&C is ludicrous & could leave me infertile owing to adhesions.

I am so utterly confused... now what?

Do I laugh.. or cry? Pmsl?
