I was 6 weeks pregnant, and everything seemed to be going fine. I had an appointment set for the upcoming Monday, 2 days away. I began spotting Saturday afternoon and went immediately to the emergency room where I had my hcg levels tested that turned out to be low (124) and a pelvic exam that showed my cervix was still closed, but I still had a lot of blood inside of me. They sent me home with a threatoned miscarriage diagnosed, and was told to make an appointment the following day for a same day ultrasound, and to discuss having my levels checked again. We made an appointment with a hostpital I had more faith in. (not putting down the doctors, but horror stories can be pursuasive, and being in a hostpital I knew to be good made me a lot more comfortable) it was farther away and takes about 45 minutes to get there, I felt it was worth my time. When I woke up the next day I was still bleeding. And a little more heavily. I began to have slight cramps. We left for my appointment which was at 12:45 at around 11:30, not halfway there I began to feel terribly nauseous, like I was going to pass out, and my pain was unbearable. I ended up blacking out a couple of times, once for a few minutes, and could barely move or see. We turned around and went back to the local hostpital because it was closer and I was sure I couldn't stand to try and make it to the hostpital we were headed for. I could barely walk when we arrived, and was crying in pain and horror. My hcg levels had dropped to 67 and there was no sighn of my baby on the ultrasound. I passed a sack about the size of a small cell phone when I got home.
Should the doctors have done something like clean me out? Will that have any affect on my ability to conceive again? Will the miscarriage have any affect on my ability to conceive again? Will I be more likely to have another miscarriage now that I have had one? How long will I bleed? WHEN CAN WE TRY AGAIN? Why did it happen? Did I do something wrong? What can I do to make my next pregnancy not end like this? Is there something wrong with me?
This was my first pregnancy and my first miscarriage. My husband and I got pregnant on the first try and were so so very happy and excited. We wanted this child so badly. We want to begin trying again as soon as possible.
I am ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED and don't know what I'm suppsed to do.
I've still been taking the prenatal vitamins to keep myself healthy for when I conceive again. I just really need some answeres and reassurance. The doctor told me that everything looks okay from the ultrasound other than the lack of my child. And my blood was good. I have a follow up scheduled at my hostpital of choice for Friday.
This has been the most horrible and painful experience of my life. Mentally and physically. Any answers will help me, and will be appreciated. If anything it will be comforting to hear words of hope.
Thank you all.
