Ready to share my story - final visit.
Okay so for my own purpose im writing this down to help me with what i've been through. I know it may not be the right forum to be put in but this was where i spent most of my time and feel that you ladies will understand.
I had been spotting on and off through jan but wasn't that concerned as i was in no pain and felt pregant. On Sun 27th Jan I began to bleed heavier so went to a&e, they did a scan then but could not see anything and advised me to have a scan on the Jan thursday 31st. I spent the days up to that scan in a right mess convinced that it was over. Work let me have the week off as i was so stressed. I went for my scan and everything appeared fine - a heartbeat was found but i was asked to return in two weeks on feb 14th to confirm everything was okay. I returned to work on feb 4th but was signed off with stress/depression on the 6th as i wasn't coping having to wait two weeks to know if everything was okay as well as having the stress of having to move out of our home. On feb Sun 10th i began to bleed heavily again and was advised to go to a&e, the doc examined me and said everything was fine and booked me in for another scan the following day. I went in on mon 11th for a scan and was told to my baby had no heartbeat but legally they could not tell me i'd m/c untill I was so many weeks and that i would have to return on the 14th for another scan. So more waiting, crying and stressing. I returned on the 14th to be told it was over and although i'd been bleeding for over 3 weeks it had not come away naturally and as last time i had m/c the tablets had not worked it was suggested that i have the operation.
I went into hospital yesterday at 8am. I had been bleeding very heavily that morning and my hospital gown had got completely soaked in blood before i even went into theatre but the nurses were gr8 and sorted me out. I had violent shakes for half an hour after coming around from the op and then was given morphine due to the pain that eventually settled and I was due to go home two hours later but due to low blood pressure was unable to so that called my hubbie to come and sit with me. I was eventually able to go home at 5pm and all i did that evening was sleep for england.
Today i feel a lot better my pelvis is very sore and im finding it hard to walk as i had my anti - d injection (attempted 3 times!) in my right hip - ouch! but other than that just glad it's over. It' been a very long drawn out experience which i don't think i'll ever 4get.
Thankyou to everyone who offerd me kind words and support - especially Tigerlily. We are going to start trying again very soon but i've decided not to return to the site - well not till im at least 4/5 months pg. I had to share my story for my own mental health if nothing else. Bye everyone and enjoy being preganant.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news - I didn't get to know you but feel your pain. I too had a m/c last June and know what a tough time it is and how cheated you must be feeling.
Build yourself up physically and I hope to see you back on here very soon (we waited for one period and I managed to get pg before the next one).
Lots of hug and luck to you
