Today has been a nightmare.
The bleeding after my scan was one "gush" a gush is too strong a word, oe wipe of bright red fresh and another to clean up. Backache and brown spotting. This morning emotionally exhausted and wondering how the hell I can go on for weeks like this I rung the hospital and went in.
After counselling and going through risks and other stuff that took 3.5 hours (won't go into detail as I don't want to upset newly pregnant people, people with strong personal beliefs) We decided I would have surgery. I signed all the forms and was about to attend the other hospital to settle in ready for the morning. My doctor rung the consultant to just get the nod.
I was called back into the room and asked to explain clearly what I'd been told. So I did, "gestational sac has shrunk, hormones have stayed the same (under 15% drop means stay the same apparently) come back when I start to lose the pregnancy and come back in two further weeks for a follow up to see if everything has all cleared up/gone."
She looked at me shocked and said this.
"Scan finds a healthy early pregnancy sac in the womb, good fundal location, regular shaped gestational sac 1mm larger than 2 days ago, no bleeding re scan in two weeks" What the actual F.
Now, don't get me wrong, my dates do not add up and my hormones aren't doing what they should and I've had two bits of bleeding now. I don't have hope.
But to be told in no uncertain terms I was having a miscarriage, consenting for surgery to then finding out there's no medical need to have that. I'm shocked. I'm in shock. We have a holiday for two weeks on weds so I'm just going to go away enjoy my children and try to forget it all, obviously I'm not going to drink wine or cocktails because well I just can't when I don't know know. Nurse said that little bleed could be from my cervix being irritated from the scan -much like how some women will have a little bleed after sex-.
We think she didn't read my notes properly and thought it had shrunk but after we left realised her mistake and wrote down something completely different.
I just, Urgh. what?!
Hubby and I are so exhausted we can't even express how feel feel at this shock yet again. We grieved all day yesterday prepared for surgery today and then were told, wait and see.
