Hi, I'm Wendy, and i'm new here. Was constantly looking for forums regarding SCH and luckily I've found this support group. It's hard having no one to talk to about my case because either no one understands the medical term and no one's sensitive enough to understand what I'm goiing thru. I don't wanna bore you with my story, this can be long. but i just want to let it out.
My boyfriend and I decided to have a baby at the start of the year, but it was kind of delayed at first because I was diagnosed with PCOS and i was put on meds to initiate ovulation. Weeks after being worked up, I still wasn't having my periods then doctor asked me to have an ultrasound. and there it was, at 7 weeks. I found out early in March that I'm pregnant and was so ecstatic about it.
The first ultrasound revealed that there was a moderate SCH with no specific measurements, so the doctor requested me to be on bedrest, and i was also put on aspirin and prednisone and progesterone. Aspirin is to thin out the clots and prednisone - because she was considering that i may have a syndrome where my immune system fights off pregnancy.
two weeks after i had another UTZ, and now there was a specific measurement.. 1.5cmx 1cmx 0.6cm.. and the doctor told me it was just small, she had me continue my meds. another two weeks passed and im due for another UTZ..and found 1.6cm x 1cmx 0.6cm with a volume of 0.3cc.. doc asked me what the sonographer said and i told her that she said that it was just small. so she took me off prednisone and aspirin but had me continue with progesterone.
she wanted to know the baby's heartrate when i was taken off the meds so im due for another UTZ after a week. so it happened i had a UTZ the following week and found out that the hematoma has grown larger.. 2.4cm x 1cmx 0.7cm and a volume of 0.6cc..
I was so sad i thought it would have gone already because im now on my twelfth week. now she put me back on prednisone and aspirin and said that if it won't subside, she'll have me referred to an immunologist.
It's hard thinking about this; i worry for my first baby's condition, plus too much expenses as well if i had to be referred to an immunologist. I just hope that it will be gone by the time of my next scan and most of the things i read here tell of how this would just go away in the following weeks. I am just hopeful that this will stop already because it's not easy to worry for my first pregnancy.
