hello ladies.
I was told i miscarried back in December... But for some reason, i cant stop thinking about it. I feel like there was a possibility that i was misdiagnosed. i know the chances of this is low but i just didnt get the closure that i needed.
my doctor sent me in for an ultrasound at 7 weeks and 1 day. the woman that did the ultrasound said that she couldnt find the baby...just the sac. I was so scared that i called my doctors office right away and spoke with the nurse. she said that she would go get my results and call me right back. when she called me back, she said they did see the baby and the heartbeat. but the baby was measuring 6 weeks and 3 days and the the heartbeat was 75 bpm.
I went back to my ultrasound a week later and the woman that did my ultrasound said that she couldnt find the heartbeat and the baby still measured about the same. I was devastated.
i went up to my OBGYN's office that day but my doctor wasn't in. the nurse let me see a different gyn on call. he gave me 3 options on what i can do about the miscarriage. take the pills, get a D&C or let it go naturally. I told him that i couldnt decide right now. so he set up an appointment at the hospital for me to see my gyn to talk to him further about it as this is where he was going to be for the next few days.
when i went in, they got me all prepared for the d&c before i even consented to it. i felt pressured after being all "ready" to go when i finally got to see my gyn. he said sometimes it can take a long time for the baby to come out naturally...and i was also scared of the pain that would happen with having the miscarriage naturally so i went ahead with the d&c. both of the ultrasounds that i had was done on the exact same machine and i knew that other machines were better then others. So i asked several nurses and my gyn if they would do one last ultrasound just to be sure and they refused. They said it was pointless because it was already confirmed.
afterwords, i found the misdiagnosed miscarriage website. i read the stories on there and started to wonder if this could of happened to me. i understand the denial that can come with losing a child but recently, i feel that i have good reason. Last month i was having some problems and so i went up to emerg to get it checked out. the nurse told me that i had a tilted uterus and a couple days later, my new gyn told me i had a tilted uterus as well. i was never told this before and i dont know how long its been like this. I never did have an internal check when i was pregnant last time. I read on the website that its common to be misdiagnosed when you have a tilted uterus.
Another thing, my pregnancy symptoms where no different. i still felt very much pregnant.
I understand that there is nothing i can do about this now, i cant turn back time but i just needed to tell my story. I just really wished that i would of had the miscarriage naturally like i said i was going to do before walking into that hospital or at least not have done the d&c unless i had one last ultrasound on a different machine.
i hope some day i can find closure that i need.
Thank you all for reading my story.
