sooooooooo very confused!!!

[mkmum]

im so confused, do i still let myself have a glimour of hope or shall i just jump off the denial train now??? i had heavy red bleeding yesterday but today i have heavy brown bleeding!?!?!?!? WTF??? i demanded a blood test for hormone levels the other day but the doctor refused!! again.... WTF?!?!? i REALLY dont want to go to a&e cause i cant justify it, and all the doctors say is that i have to wait for scan!!! i have had no clots and the pain is mild'ish, but im used to very painful periods so i cant compare it!!! AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I can't believe they refused you a blood test. That is awful! They did my bloods 48 hours apart, and although the result was bad, at least I knew. I wish there was some way I could make this better for you.
I must say though A and E is not a good idea. I had to go to mine for second bloods, as it was bank holiday, and they nurses were very callous with me, and not at all sympathetic. Even when they gave me the bad news, they just wanted me to hurry up and get out, so that they could see everyone else. You're good to resist going there.
Is your scan Monday? It must be awful having to wait so long.

may not be what you were hoping for but I have had numerous miscarriages and know that you can have a positive pregnancy test for up to 6 weeks and the pregnancy not be viable. Happened when i had a blighted ovum. Think its rotten that you have not been scanned, know the not knowing is torture. Wishing you well.

i have to wait for the 30th for scan. the problem with milton keynes is that when it first came about there were very few people who lived here, now there is a HUGE population and the hospital cant handle the volume of people! geting a scan at the epau is like gold dust!!

That's too long to keep you in limbo. Do you have an NHS walk in centre that you could go to Monday? I still cannot believe they are refusing to test your blood hCG. Or can you get to an emergency GP on Monday morning? It is nothing short of cruel to keep you waiting that long. If all is lost, you need to know, so that you can start to grieve properly, and if all is OK, you also need to know so that you can feel calmer.
I do hope you can get someone to listen to you Monday.
Hugs and more hugs,

That is absolutley horrible!!!! How dare they?!?! They obviously have not been through this terrible ordeal of not knowing or, had a dear loved one experiance it. As much as I would not wish this upon my worst enemy it needs 1 or more of those so called health professionals to experiance this before their attitudes change. I worked for about 10yrs as an aux nurse in nursing homes and hospitals and, I was always taught put yourself in their shows and think about how you would like to be treated. Some people should not be doing the jobs they are doing clearly not cut out for it. Roll on Monday petal when you can get to your GP or see an emergency one. Thinking of you and sending you

i think i might ring the epau tomorow, but im sure they are just going to say wait, the doctors are as good as a chocolate tea pot! there is a walk in center i could go to, so i might give that a go!! its driving me cuckoo !!!!!

 

[Logiebear]

Massive hun and I hope you get some where quickly because I know how bad the torture is. I was told to wait 2 weeks and went back to a&e after 1 week because I couldn't bare not knowing what was happening.
You are entitled to demand a blood test hun and I hope you get it xxx

 

[mkmum]

i really want to get another scan sooner than the 30th, buuuuuut, the only worry i have is that if i go back too soon it might be too small to see still (thats if anything is there!) so i will have to wait again! and i get so worked up in the waiting room and stuff i cant bare to go through it 3 times!! but if im being honest i would like another scan sooner. cuckoooo cuckoooooooo!!

You're not crazy... you have reason to worry. I just went through something very similar. Don't drive yourself nuts! Call the doc and see when the earliest you could come in for a scan to see a heartbeat and explain how you're feeling and your symptoms. If a scan is out, then ask for bloods. It's simple and it's just lab work. My doc has been very understanding and his nurses too. Even if you're less than six weeks, it only takes 3-5 days for them to measure any progress(growth) on the baby via scan and your Hcg should double like every two or three days. Hope that this has a silver lining for you. Thinking of you.

I cant believe all the horror stories i hear bout doctors on here!!! How could they leave u to worry like this? Hope all is well!

I'm really surprised they are not giving you a blood test. I was booked in for a second scan (having not been able to see much in the first one) which was then cancelled as they said this was not necessary as the way that they determine a miscarriage is to test your HCG levels. The first blood test I had showed my levels were very low and this morning I had it confirmed from my second blood test that I had infact miscarried.

I would go back to your doctors and ask them for a blood test. Fingers crossed for you.

i called epau today and explained everything, they moved my scan forward to thursday, but im 99.9% sure its bad news though. had a small clot, about the size of my small finger nail. so that pretty much confirmed it in myself, iam that sure thatm i took a hayfever tablet today, i have been suffering for weeks with horiffic hayfever, honestly it gets soo bad. im pretty sure i know when it went down hill cause one morning (6+1) i felt really sick, but then the next day nothing, so i think my hormones must of peaked that day and then went down hill from then. i really dont think i can handle it naturally happening, but after just reading the horiffic ordeal on the other page i really dont know what to do for the best!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Happy]

At least they have moved the scan forward now, I still can't believe you haven't been given a blood test though, where do you live?

 

[NikiJJones]

Will be thinking of you Thursday.

I had bleeding and i went straight to a&e to get checked out and although all was fine im glad i did but i was told i should of gone straight to casualty instead of a&e keeoing me waiting 4 hours!!!!

 

[mkmum]

thanks everyone, im in the ohh so delightful milton keynes!!

I started bleeding really lightly and went straight to my local urgent care centre, where I was left waiting for a few hours and no one told me what was going on or explained anything to me. Thankfully, they did a scan and saw a heartbeat! I then started bleeding red blood quite heavily on friday at about 10pm and my partner phoned the ward where I had the first scan and was told I could go up straight away for another scan. I think I only waited about half an hour! This was also good news and I was told I could bleed like this for the first 3 months and not to worry unless I experience strong pain. I was 7 weeks 4 days according to the scan on Friday.
My point is, I was seen the same day and although I was waiting a few hours the first time, I was taken seriously. Is there no way you could go to A & E, if only for your piece of mind?
I really hope everything is ok for you!
