Why won't the dr's be straight with me?
After i started spotting on Tuesday night i went to A&E wednesday morning they just left me sitting there waiting for EPU to open who they then left me sitting in a room full of pregnant women while i cried thinking the worse!
The dr wasn't too helpful just kept going on at me about the blood work not being done at the right times and stuff but no one asked me to do anything i just had to keep asking so she sent me for a blood test and depending on the outcome was going to scan me. At first they refused to scan me cos the level was low. Until i told them it had gone down from what it was before so i knew what was happening.
I had to argue for a scan cos they kept talking about ectopic pregnancy and i know how dangerous that can be. So they finally agreed to scan me.
The sonographer was lovely, not like the last one. She did the scan and i knew what was coming cos she couldn't find little roo anywhere. So she said it's very early but i think that you are miscarrying. And sent me to wait outside when i was ready so she could write the report. Then i got sent back to the room of pregnant women while i waited for the dr.
Then the confusion started.
She told me that there was nothing in my womb that they could see but it could still be too early and they stil couldn't rule out an ectopic.
So i asked if i was miscarrying and she said we don't know you need to have more blood tests
what then
we don't know
well does anyone know anything?
Anyway, i left the hospital even more confused than when i went in.
I'm still not bleeding fully and i still only have achy pains i just need to know.
In my head and my heart i know what's happening but i just need someone to be honest with me and help me deal with what's happening.
Why does this happen to us when we want it so bad?

My experience as a patient suffering a mc wasn't too bad on the whole (although i too ended up in an ante natal clinic waiting room for 10 minutes before someone realised) but from hearing other people's stories on here it seems really hit and miss
