Ive been regularly reading posts on this forum but havent posted that much. Ive struggled emotionally and physically since first finding out I had a missed miscarriage. Had no idea just how traumatic this experience could be until it happened to me.
First emergency scan on 16th Feb showed bean was only 6 weeks when I thought I was almost 12. Second scan on 23rd confirmed miscarriage. Booked for surgery on 27th but naturally started miscarrying just two days before, so this got cancelled (massively upset and struggled so much as really didnt want the natural option at all). Intense cramping and heavy bleeding for at least ten days. Bleeding and mild cramping continued for another week or so which worried me a little but I thought it was just normal. 3 weeks later pregnancy test showed negative do I assumed all was well and things would begin to normalise. Just this week I experienced a sudden onset of flu-like symptoms which made my dh worry I had sepsis (hes a nurse). A call to NHS Direct, a 3am trip to an out of hours GP and a third scan confirmed I still have some placenta tissue left 4 weeks after the miscarriage started, so I now have an infection too. Pain continues as does the bleeding. Im on antibiotics and have surgery on Tuesday to hopefully bring this whole awful experience to a final end and give me some proper closure.
Has anyone else been through anything like this? Ive not read anything similar or anyones experience of having an infection. I know its different for everyone but Im finding it so difficult to get through this because it just feels never ending at the moment.
