Hi me again!

Spotting 11 weeks 5 days sept 21st, confirmend baby had died around 7-10 weeks (they couldnt be sure as had partially reabsorbed onto sac).

Medical induce 28th sept hell on earth (they said thought everything was gone) Sac size oor lining abt 48mm at the time.

Passed another clot 3 days later at home hell again.

Spent 4 weeks trying to move on and assuming it was over in which time i had a water infection an allergic reaction to antbiotics continuos hip pain, tail bone pain and pelvic pain/pressure. (blamed this on constipation and tried to carry on despite pain)

I spent 16 days post medical bleeding/spotting.

Then 16 days after bleeding stopped i had cramps again OW!!! Went to A & E 1st nov, who said to me preg test negitive likley just your period they can be painfull!

I was in so much pain though and was hardly bleeding?????

So spent the week thinking it was all in my head and blaming my constipation again!

Went for scan 6th nov told i had retained products lining 20mm thick!! Like i had only passed just more than half in medical 9 weeks earlier!

So ERPC on saturday 7th nov-not pleasent kept in over night due to low blood pressure e.t.c!

so on Monday last week called doc out who wanted to do ct scan rule out pullmonary embolism( i knew it wasnt that just felt whip lashed of being under my neck was frozen and my chest burned breathing fine just pain in centre of tube i think!)

Any how bloods done d dimer slightly high but nothing to fear as common in surgery.

so went to drs on friday again for ext of sick note for 3 days wana go back to work this thursda. dr said not sure you will be well enough i asked for a scan just for peace of mind to know it was all gone now! as i was still getting cramping pains. (again started to blame my bowls)

So any how dr sent me to a & e to be checked gyny doc examend my stomach said you seem fine, and guess what did a preg test like hello it was neg 2 weeks ago, they did an ecg god only knows why? sent me home said all was o.k give it some time and keep busy!

O.k last night wow tailbone pain and pressure wow (again blaming my poor bowls). Until now i have started to get the cramps painifull mad cramps i recgonise to be from the uterus!!!!!

I have been spotting on and off since the erpc 9 days ago and had on off pains (thought it was trapped wind again).

So anyhow DO ANY OF YOU THINKS AFTER ALL OF THE ABOVE I COULD STILL HAVE RETAINED PRODUCTS OF CONCEPTION????

My follow up scan that i demanded (they didnt wana give me one confident you see!) is not until Monday of next week!

I cant bear to ring my drs again as i know there is nothing more they can do for me and will only send me back to the usless drs at hosp!

If it is retained producst still thats fine ive been doing this now for nearly 3 months so iam kinda used and no the drill.

Just think ive exhausted everyone around me i.e they all really think that i should be physically over this now. BUT I KNOW AS I DID LAST TIME ITS NOT IN MY HEAD AND THESE ARENT THE KIND OF PAINS YOU WOULD IMAGINE!

Any suggestions on where i should go or turn too.... im really frightened i will end up with an infection or by not seeking medical advice il end up causing myself damage in the long run i just cant bring myself to call them when i know what they will say to me already!

I think everyone seems to be concerned with my mental health and im like my heads ok honest im just worn out trying to get whats left of this preg out of my body!

Maybe it could be my uterus returning back to normal size???? (i dount it but im always hopefull).

shocker

Ahh bevan im so sorry i keep wishing your run of bad luck will end, whens the scan? Its unlikely you still have retained products but its possible, it happens quite often with an erpc but after all that you've gone through i wouldnt think so i would maybe get a second opinion? It could be that this is an unrelated medical matter and you should investigate further if your not feeling any better, hope things start looking up soon

Thanks shcoker i have the scan at epac on monday next week. I really hope its not retained products still. I hope its just my body healing its just so like the pain i had before the erpc its like its gone on forever now.

If i get the all clear next week about no products left then i have nother scan the week after on abdomen and pelvis so hopefully if im still having pain that will get to the bottom of it.

I really hope it is just constipation this time round!

Just scary when the build up is the same as the previous ones!!!!

My brain in frazzeled im trying so hard not to wallow but when i stop wallowing in it i get angry! dont know whats worse!

Just wana be told your suffering from trapped wind now go away and eat a healthy diet!

My gut instinct tells me this miscarrgae isnt over yet!

Ive never longed for a period in all in my life!

shocker

Your gut instinct is usually right, at least you'll be getting some answers soon with the scans i'd say your gonna have to wait it out until then unfortunatly. I know what you mean about wishing for your af for the first time ever!! I think at this point it would be kind of reassuring to know my bodys getting back to normal, usually hate them though!! If they tell you its trapped wind that needs a healthy diet i'd get a second opinion hope you feel better soon

Bevan, I can't imagine what you're going through You deserve answers and closure. Everything that has happened to you over the last few months is an absolute tragedy. I admire your strengh. I don't have any answers to your questions but I agree that you should trust your gut feelings and demand whatever medical attention and help you need. We're here for you, please keep us posted

bevan88

thanks lori

i am o.k with the pain its annoying and at times gets nasty but to be honest if it means iam getting closer to the end of this nightmare then im not gonna complain. The pain doesnt scare me anymore it just hurts!

Unless it gets unbearable or the bleeding starts and gets too heavy i wont bother with the drs e.t.c i will sit it out and do what ive been doing trying to get on with it!

And just hope when i get the scan next week at this time i will at least have some closuer! Once and for all.

Hi Bevan

So sorry you are still going through this. I agree with previous poster about trusting your instinct. I personally would not wait until next Monday but insist on getting it checkd out or at least get some antibiotics from your GP incase it is infection. I would push for an earlier scan as this has gone on for so long. If it was a week or two after the initial loss then I would say wait until Monday but you have had several scares since. The docs are there to treat us and so pl don't feel you are a bothe to them. Besides, yiur GP was cautious enough to send you to A&E. Please get it seen to. xxx

Hi everyone. I know what you're going through Bevan, as I had a missed m/c and had medical management 2 months ago. I had continued cramping and bloating and went for a scan to find that I have retained placenta and lining over 30mm. Top gynaes in the uk have said I should have a dnc but that it isnt necessarily urgent as I have just ovulated for the 1st time snce. It is possible some of it will come out with AF. Has anyone else had their retained products settle without surgery?
To Bevan: How are you now? Is everything sorted?
