Hi Ladies
Over the last two days i have been coming to terms with the fact that my bubba g will not be going the distance.
I had a bit of spotting on Monday, and went in for what was suppossed to be ultra sound to see heartbeat at approx 6 1/2 weeks. When the doctor did the scan, he said that the pregnancy sack looked like it was only 5 1/2 weeks old, and that may be the reason for not getting the heartbeat.
I then had an appt with the ob on wednesday and he did a blood test, which came back with not great results. My HCG levels had only doubled in one week, and were sitting at just over 6000 for what was then about 7 weeks.
He suggested that i have a d&c, at the cost of about $1200. I was unsure if this was the best option but he was not forthcoming in letting me know what other options existed. It's just f*%cked!
Today, i trugged down to RPAH and went to the early preg centre, where i saw another ob, who suggested that i should try and pass the miscarriage naturally, with a follow up ultra sound in 10 days to see if there is anything remaining, and d&c to follow if needed.
I am much happier with this option, and feel like the private system is a wrought! I will definately be going public, when i next fall.
This is my second miscarriage, and i just wonder how you cope and have confidence going into number 3.
Any thoughts welcome.
Mrs G
