Hello to you all,
first of all i am so sorry for any of you going through or had a miscarriage especially if you have ongoing problems, my heart is with you all.
I so far have put a brave face on and not let this get me down, tried to carry on life around all of this, but i need to talk to someone who can help or give me advice.
Excitedly we went for our 12 week scan in November 2010 to be sadly told we had a missed miscarriage and our baby had died at 6 weeks, within 30 minutes we were out of the hospital with 2 leaflets on the options that now lay ahead for us, very confused and almost dreamlike situation.
The next day whilst deciding what to do the bleeding started, i had favoured the natural way although not made any decisions when it seemed my body had, 2 days later the miscarriage hit with a full 6 hours of contractions, unbelievable pain and losses, giving it 2 weeks (on hospitals advice) we then went for scan, still showed remaining clots; again left it 2 weeks to see if would come away naturally. Went back again for scan but still there, so booked in for a D & C for 2 day time, next night had another 2 hour ordeal of losses, clots, blood and pain. Arrived at hospital next day for D & C, told them of what happened and they did scan first; good news I was told everythings gone and your all clear signed me off as complete and we were sent home.
2 weeks later still bleeding, thought I had period? But no, bleed for few more weeks on and off and then out of the blue on Christmas day evening I flooded with blood and as I was sorting myself out passed our baby, 6/7 perfect red little curled up on its side baby, very sad.
Called hospital and they ordered me back up there spent boxing day being internally investigated (no scans available), advice was ok you must have passed all now so sent home, booked for scan for 3 days later. Scan showed that there was still live tissues, highly vascular and remaining tissues! They said oh must have missed it, so kept in. The Consultant said he wanted to try the medical treatment option so that was done, 15 hours later still nothing passed; by morning being exhausted, I was put onto the emergency list for D & C and they carried this out on New Years Eve, then signed off and went home to rest!
Bled for 10 days then stopped, on 13th Jan I got my period all seeming normal, but after my period went away I have been bleeding on and off since? I called the hospital on Thursday to ask advice and again they ordered me back up, I had a scan done on Friday with urine sample and internal; The scan showed up what she thought was 2 small 1cm lumps on the inside of my whom, with vascular elements around, she said I am not sure as this scan is not great for showing clearly little elements, but could be 2 polyps? So we waited and waited, a different doctor called us in and she said I have been over all your notes/scans ( and the itinerary I had provided of all that has happened) and I do not think it is polyps but a few remaining patches of bloods, I will prescribe some Antibiotics and let you consultant know, you can start trying again when youre ready and then we were sent home. A few hours after being home I got a call from the same doctor saying your consultant is not happy and would like you to come back up over the weekend to have bloods done. We went yesterday and they took my bloods, we asked what this could be and no one could give us an answer they just said wait until you hear from us! BUT this is killing me, I am worrying now do we try again? What if it is nothing? But what if something more?
Has anyone been in a similar position or could help with some advice I am fairly level headed and do not freak out normally but this seems so mixed with the advice we have been given I am just not sure what to do and was wondering if anyone had any time to share?
Thank you xxxxx
