Got the scan done yesterday, and there does appear to be some retained product - but I'm not getting a D&C. Apparently they want to continue this 'wait and see' approach. I'm on two different antibiotics, so I guess they think its safe enough to let my body continue to do it naturally.
But its now getting 7 weeks. I'm sick of it. I just want to be able to get it over and done with, so I can move on. I feel like I'm stuck in limbo.
I was told to come back if the pain or bleeding got worse, so I rang the hospital this morning because the pain is getting quite bad. They asked if I had taken any painkillers, but I haven't because I wanted to monitor the pain levels, I thought that was what I was supposed to be doing. So they said to just said to take some, they won't do a D&C on the weekend unless its an emergency, and if I came in they'd only give me pain relief and send me home.
I've had enough of doing it naturally, I want it over with, I can't get out of the place I'm in while I still have the physical problems
Oh, you poor thing.
I completely know where you are coming from.
It's enough, already, huh? Are they at least able to book the d&c for you so you have an end date to all this? I'm so sorry you're going through this
No Lara, I'm getting the feeling they won't do a D&C unless it becomes an emergency. I suppose the hands off/natural care is good, I'm just over it though
sorry you're going through this, i'm sure you just want to put all the discomfort behind you, so that you can grieve the pregnancy.
hopefully it's all over soon xoox
Berenice I too am very sorry you are going through this Maybe make an appointment to see your GP this coming week and get them to organise someone to do a D&C for you. 7 weeks is a long time for you to still be bleeding and having pain. That is just not fair on you hun
I hope you get someone to listen to you sooner rather than later. Maybe you could try another hospital. I know that isn't an ideal way but if you aren't getting the treatment and answers you need right now then that might be an option for you
Had a follow up scan at the hospital today, still a bit of retained product, only a small amount. The doctor couldn't seem to decide what to do, so I chipped in and said I just wanted the D&C, I had researched it, and emotionally I just can't get past it while I'm still bleeding. So I'm booked in for this Friday...
I'm nervous, I've never had surgery before, never been under a general anaesthetic. I'm supposed to be keeping my friend company while her son is in the chidlrens hospital this weekend, and I called her and said I wouldn't be there Friday because of the D&C, but I'd be there Saturday, and she just laughed and said 'No you won't!' So now I'm scared...
I'm gonna start a thread about D&C experiences, thanks for all your support ladies
Just want it over and done with *vent*
