Miscarriage caused by antibiotic

[denial_ghurl]

Hie everyone..

I'm kinda new to this forum so pls bear with me if my entry is kinda long.. I had a miscarriage on the 13th May while I was in school.. I didn't even know I was pregnant as my menses did come on the 22nd April even though it lasted for only 2 days which was kinda a bit abnormal for me.. Prior to that, my proper last menses was on 17th March.. For the whole month of April, my appetite was humongous, I felt like crap and I was very hot-tempered.. As my menses was pretty regular, I did a pregnancy test on 19th April but it was negative..

On 8th May, I had a very bad urine infection so I went to see the doctor and he prescribed for me an antibiotic.. It was a 5 days course.. Everything was pretty normal until that very day,13th May, I realised I was bleeding with gunks of blood clots and it was bright red. Deep down, I knew there was something wrong bcos first of all, I'm not supposed to be menstruating.. So I went down to the clinic and got it checked..

I did a urine test and gave details abt my urine infection as well as the bleeding.. The doctor told me that my urine test was positive but I've lost the baby.. I was shocked bcos I didn't even know I was pregnant.. And I lost my baby just like that.. Through out the doctor trying to find out more history, it's like zombie answering her.. All I know after that, she referred me to hospital to do an ultrasound to see if there's any leftover of the product of conception..

I went thru the procedure all by myself bcos the father of the baby is no longer wif me.. I told him only after the whole procedure.. Bcos now he's happy with someone else.. I'm crying myself to sleep every night.. I didn't have the chance to even take care of my baby.. Every night, I wonder how is my baby doing.. I cant bear to look at babies nowadays.. As I'm typin this entry, I'm holding back my tears from spilling.. Coz it hurts.. It hurts soooooo much..

so sorry for your loss, it happened to me at 18 weeks so i know what ur going through hun xx

i also had antibiotics which my gp gave me, i beat myself up for taking them because i thought that is was why it happened. i had a postmortem done and it was not the case so dont feel guilty xx

Firstly sorry for your loss.

I lost my baby at 18 weeks recently, so slightly different circumstances, although a friend of mine lost her little one a few months ago, similar circumstances, her AF was late then she has slight af about 2 weeks later so didnt think anything of it, then she developed a bad urine infection and went to doc, doc advised that she had been PG but lost the baby, the urine infection was related to her loosing the baby and after starting antibiotocs passed quite a bit.

Before I had by first daughter (3) I had 2 suspected MC's never confirmed by my GP but again it was urine infections and late AF that made them suspect. (I know myself I was PG with them)

By the sounds of it, you may have lost your little one before the antibiotics but they helped pass the clots etc. Please do not blame yourself for taking them.

Sorry that you are going through this without the dad, we are all here any time you need to talk.

Hie everyone..

I was given ciprobay for my urine infection.. It was supposedly one of the strongest antibiotics around.. Anyway, when I went to the clinic, the doctor seemed shocked that I was taking ciprobay during pregnancy.. But hey, I didnt even know that I was pregnant..

Btw I'm still bleeding clots of blood and bad cramps at the moment.. Is this pretty normal? Bcos I had my d&c on 14th May and now its already 24th.. Pls advise me.. Oh yes, does anyone seems to be hearing baby's cries every now and then? Oh well, that has been happening to me ever since i went for my d&c..

Hie everyone..

I went to the emergency dept today to get it checked regarding abt my blood clots.. Apparently I'm still tested as positive for pregnancy.. Dr said there's probably retained tissue that has not been expelled yet.. I might hv to book in for my second d&c and antibiotics treatment just in case I hv an infection..

As I'm still schooling, I'm really kinda worried abt the financial as well as my studies should I need to be admitted to hosp.. Even though I had told the father of my baby, up till today, there's nvr once he asked abt my condition nor helping to pay for da medical bills.. I'm stressed plus extremely worried abt this whole bleeding episode..
