Im scared, Manual Vacuum Aspiration

[*sara*]

Hi, after a few horrible weeks of waiting for scans...the first one finding nothing but a yolk sac and to be told i had a non viable pregnancy and to have to wait another 2 weeks for another scan to be told i now have a fetal pole but no heart beat! So have had my first miscarriage at 8wks after 4 years of trying . I was then given the choices of what to do next and i have chosen manual vacuum aspiration..which i go into hospital tomorrow for. I dont want to open up raw wounds of other people but im worried and wondered if any one else had opted for this option? Sara xx

Hi Sara

I don't have any advice to offer but just want to give you some of these

I've got a scan on wednesday that I expect will be showing I've either lost the baby or also have a non viable pregnancy so I'll be very interested in the answers you get.

Good luck I really hope you don't suffer too much, take care of yourself

I had a blighted ovum in sept and opted for a d and c im going to assume this is a similar thing to what you will be having?

Will you be asleep during the op? If there is a choice then i would choose to be asleep.

They basically remove contents of conception by a vacuum method. You will have some cramping like a period afterwards but the bleed will not be as clotty and it will be easier to dea with mentally (at leats i thought so).

Make sure you have someone to go home to and a hot water bottle,

im so sorry this has happened to you

[babydust]

sorry for your loss and i hope everything goes as well as can be today
i think you are being very brave being awake through this procedure, i have had 4 similar procedures but i have had a general for them i didnt know there was a choice.

Hi thank you all for your kind replys. Well arrived at hospital yesterday 8am and didnt get out till 10pm last night! Felt like the longest day of my life. Had a scan first thing and they gave me scan pic to keep, they also found something on my ovary...as if i wasnt going through enough! was supposed to have op at 3 but 2 emegencys came in so didnt get done untill 7! Only took 10 mins but felt far longer, i was given gas and air but even with that the pain was so bad i passed out! Havent had much bleeding a couple of tea spoons full at most! Not into much discomfort today just feeling very fragile. Sara xx

take care of yourself
could it have been a cyst on your ovary, as i know this is common in pregnancy?

 

[Lianatoot]

Awww I totaly sympathise with you, I hope your feeling better soon

 

[Steelgoddess]

Glad you're home safe and sound hon, what did they say about the ovary hon?

Hope you feel better soon

xx

 

[mrs_metal]

Sounds like you had an awful time, so sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself

 

[*sara*]

Thank you all for being so kind, They were not sure what was on my ovary, i have had ovarian cysts in the past but they say its not a cyst. They want to rescan me...but didnt give me appiontment so i hope they remember about me and send me one through post! Me and fiance will try again after the wedding only 2 months to go, so plenty to keep my mind occupied. x

Fiance (Justin) to have kilt fittings, going to do the flowers myself. hotel booked, and bridesmaids dresses shoes etc bought. Its is something i am looking forward to, also got my hen night to look forward to. xx
