Hi MM, thanks so much! Sorry that you've experienced this also.. along with so many other women!
When i sought the second opinion, the doc didn't seem to concerned just yet. I have a slightly overactive thyroid, which i chose not to medicate as i'm more holistic with my healthcare. So apparently thyroid issues can make blood tests inaccurate for hcg detection, only urine tests should be used for accuracy. I guess this is because urine isn't inside long enough for a faster metabolism to dilute the hormone?? I dunno lol. but basically doc said not to stress as i haven't bled yet and bbs still sore, ms still there etc.. I'm just really stressing about Monday's scan now. I'm worried that nothing will show up... or that I'll get there and find that I have miscarried but just haven't passed it yet.
Aargh!! It's all too much for me! I have had a rough time with abusive and violent drug-addicted neighbours lately, so been moving house to escape them... and in the middle i'm stressing about this!! lol... yes, i know i'm ranting.. i'm actually a very 'together' person normally haha.. i swear!!
Ciara, let it all out darl Venting is good, stress probably not so good Seems you might have nothing to worry about after all with the overactive thyroid. I'm still praying that everything works out fine, and I'm looking forward to some good news on monday!
just letting you all know that i had my scan done this morning. The sonographer was lovely. Looks like blighted ovum... so i guess I just wait to start bleeding? she's a little puzzled that i haven't started to bleed yet so she's asked for me to have some bloods taken again over a few days and return for another scan if i don't start bleeding soon. She said there's a small mass of something in my uterus but she can't confirm that it's a foetus or sac as its too small. There's still a chance that it's not so gloomy... but at this stage it appears to be a loss.
Thanks for all the support and help! It's helped me so much. I'm kinda a bit in shock but it would have been worse if I didn't have you guys to get me through it!
Still got the vomiting and sore boobs, but i guess that will all go away once I start to bleed?? I dunno.
You may not bleed for awhile with a blighted ovum because essentially your body still thinks its a normal pregnancy, hence the symptoms. I had a blighted ovum with my first pregnancy and had a d&c because I went weeks and weeks still vomitting and feeling preg but not progressing. Please rest up and take care of yourself hun; Im very sorry
And Freya, thanks for the info! I had no idea that could happen, hence why i've been so confused with no bleeding! perhaps if symptoms don't stop I will need to do the same.
Sucks that women have to go through these types of things... isn't there already enough to cope with ?? LOL
Ciara - I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you, My dear sister went through a similar experience with her first pregnancy and had multiple scans, it was the not knowing if it was a viable pregnancy or not that was the hardest, trying not to get hopes up but so hard not to..it must be so hard waiting.
Thanks Pinny. what was the outcome for your sister?
Cassius, yes i did take the day off today.. i just slept. Didn't feel like doing much else. Lucky for me my DD wanted to have a dvd-a-thon and she ended up sleeping at the same time that i did.
Liviam, thanks. You're right it just isn't. I guess it just makes u appreciate what u do have even more, right?
I had a similar pregnancy to yours where I did not bleed (apart from daily spotting) but it was confirmed the pregnancy was over, and in the end I had a D&C. To be honest that was almost closure for me, I couldn't believe a pregnancy would just end with no drama whatsoever, I needed there to be bleeding or something to let my brain adjust to the pregnancy being over.
I am so sad you are going through this ciara.e, I hope you have some concrete answers soon
