Hospital This Morning... Update

[happy-chick]

Hi,

Been to hospital this morning and had internal scan and they confirmed that there is still some tissue there. They have put me on antibiotics and discharged me as they are happy that it will pass naturally.

My HCG levels were 3500 ish on 17/02/07 and they are now 342 today which means hopefully things are nearly over. Im also not aneamic which is good news.

I had my appointment at 80 this morning and have only just got home as I had to wait to see doctor which took hours...

I feel really down at the moment and like everyone else is just getting on with their lives and im stuck here! It feels like people are expecting me to feel ok now a couple of weeks have passed and feel pressured. Luckily I can talk to my fella so he understands how im feeling and has been really supportive.

I have an appointment with my GP on Tuesday so hopefully can talk things through with him as I dont really feel that the hospital have explained things to me. All they have told me is that ive had a miscarriage....

Sorry if that was all a bit of a mumble, it probably doesnt make sense as my heads a mess at moment if im honest!

Hunni you need time to get through this, a couple of weeks isn't enough Look after yourself and good luck at the doctors

Youre not on your own - we understand and want you to keep going and not give up. Cling on to your man and dont take any pressure. It is a grieving process and something we will nexer forget.

hi
i hope the anti biotics make you feel better.
I am having a very strange scary day, blood has become a wee bit heavier, red and a bit watery, cramps worse...the thing is I think i have had a wee tummy inf as had dirrhoea and ibs like spasms....sorry to be graphic, again i ahve heard when m/c happens blood more watery ? still the pain seems to have gone since being to loo, my lord such a waiting game....i really can't bear not knowing what my body is going to do, in some ways i just either want it to happen or not to...
hope you are ok after hospital today and my thoughts are with you xxx

Hi honey.

I am glad the hospital seem to think things are getting sorted. Good news about the aneamia too. I also felt pressured to be over my mc because I worried that other people would think I was whinging on for longer than necessary...but Ithink so much is going on that we don't realise that our friends and families don't actually mind that we are getting better in our own sweet time. Take as long as you need to recover....emotional scars take longer to heal once all the physical signs have stopped. You find yourself on a roller coaster where you can have great weeks and then, all of a sudden, a bad day. It is very normal.
I really hope everything starts settling for yuo so that you can begin to make steps to recovering. Your OH sounds great too...A supportive partner is so important!!!
hugs to you honey
Michelle

Thanks everyone. xxx

I wanted to also ask has anyone put together a memory box? Where could I get one from or should I make one myself?

 

[fynemum]

Hi Sweetie,
I have memory boxes I made myself, just small shoe boxes, they contain everything(which isn't alot) that linked me to my babies. Scan pics, PG Test sticks, knitting family done, exception certs, My hospital band when I had to go in for assistance....and a letter from my to them.

Make your own if you can't buy one....but everyone is different, some people say they don't need such things...it's what ever you want that matters. Lv Yvonne xx

I threw away my hospital band and also PG tests which im now gutted about, I do have a photograph of the positive test result on my mobile... silly I know!

Im really creative being a designer and all so think I will take a trip to Hobbycraft and see what I can find, will take a pic and show you when ive made it if you like?
