i got my :bfp: at 11 dpo, and today at 20 dpo, i started to bleed. i took many pg tests during this time, 3 of them digital. all plainly positive. well, when i got to the hospital this morning they took blood, and did an internal scan. of course the baby would have been to small to see even if it were healthy. but of course they couldn't see anything, i had already passed several large clots. my levels when they came back were only 6. my doctor told me that right now i could not 'prove' that i was pregnant. his exact words!! i didn't realize i had to 'prove' anything!!! i know i was pregnant, DH knows i was pregnant. as does my sister all of whom watched me pee on multiple sticks that turned into :bfp: :cry: i'm so angry :hissy: why did he treat me that way. he wouldn't even acknowledge the fact that i had just lost a child. treated me like i was crazy or lying or something. i feel like i need revenge. like there could be someone i could call and complain. i just don't understand how treating me that way would benefit him. the asshole.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot believe how insensitive doctors can be, and I am not sure why he would say you couldn't prove you were pregnant like it is something you would want to lie about. Plus anything over HCG 5 is considered pregnant. I would complain it may not do anything now but at least it would be on his record and if it happens a lot then he may have to go through sensitivity training or something.
:hug:
 
Im sorry for your loss!

Unfortunately the medical society considers a mc to be a natural part of the human experience. They dont think its big deal as statisically most go on to have normal pg's after a mc. This is the main reason they treat you as anyone coming in with a broken foot or similar. Its abominal, i know....

I think docs forget that we aren't just a job but people with feelings... hopes... it is very annoying... and breaks your heart.. sorry for you loss... and definitely mourn the child you lost... I had a miscarriage too in oct... and it is very important to deal with all you may be feeling...
 
:hug: I am so so sorry for your loss. How incredibly rude of this DR!!! I would be upset too. I think making a complaint about "bedside manner" would be in order. Who knows if anything would come of it, but at least you can try (that is, if you want to). I cannot imagine how horribly upset I would feel to have someone say that after one of my m/c. :hug:
 
I agree Jamik, i'm calling my OB in a minute, and i'm going to explain to him what happened, and then ask who i can complain to about the doc. i'm still very angry.
 
unforchatly thats how alot of dr's and nurses see you. enless u seriously need them your classed as a ok, because u passed the baby on your own.. i saw it alot in my first and 3rd m/c.. i was lucky with my 2nd and 4th i had very good dr's.im sorry you got treated so badly hun
xxxxxxxx
 
So sorry for your lose. I felt exactly the same when i miscarried this weekend. They didn't explain a thing or even give me a leaflet or advice on anything!!! this site has been a good send ... the piece wobbles has written is fantastic. I'm actually thinking of complaining to my local hospital.
 
:hug: I'm so sorry for your loss, and I can't believe how insensitive the doctor was - I'd definitely complain x
 
Well, i went to my doctor today, and i am feeling much better. he sat down with me, and was not in a hurry. didn't act like he had anywhere to be all day. is was so refreshing. he explained to me what might have happened to my baby, and that it did not effect my chances of carrying a pregnancy successfully in the future. it was so much better, and it also felt good to have someone acknowledge this pregnancy that i have been trying for for so long. :) i feel at peace, and i know my baby is at peace, with god, and i will see her one day. i also realize that chances are, something was wrong with the baby, which is why my baby rejected her and that losing her was probably due to that. even though i would have loved her no matter what, i do think that it would be very hard to watch someone that you love as much as you love a child go through life with a disability. i don't know if it's OK to feel better so soon after a loss, and i don't know if there is some grief there waiting to hit me later (even though i cried so much yesterday that i'm not sure i have any tears left at all) but i am going to go with it, move on, and start trying to have a baby again as soon as i can. my doctor said 2 months. i loved this baby already in the short time she was growing inside of me, and i will never forget her. i don't know what i would do with out all of you guys here to support me. thank you all. and i am sorry to the bottom of my heart for all of your losses. may god be with you all, and your angel babies.
 
:hug: I'm so glad your doctor was more understanding x
 
Sorry for your loss. That doctor sounds like a jerk... I had similar when I had my miscarriage - sadly I think it is quite common :(

:hug: xx

So glad you are feeling better and that your doc was great today.. good luck with everything... and keep us all posted..
