Didn’t know I was Pregnant
I have had a really rough few days.
In the past 6 months my AF was getting worse and worse. It was also later and later. The latest being last month at what I thought was a week late. It was also really light and not as painful. So come this month...I started having a really sharp shooting pain on my left mid back side that wrapped a bit around to my front. I also had a brown discharge. This was totally not normal for me.
I dealt with the pain for a few days until this past Thursday I woke up and I thought AF had started and the cramps were unbearable and the pain in my side was like stabbing me and I was bawling to my husband about having to try to go to work (it’s really hard for me to find a replacement and work is not very understanding even if I am crying in pain on the phone - I need a new job) So we got me in to see a doctor as we were more worried about it being a kidney problem (I have kidney disease so this was freaking me out)
The doctor sent me to the ER concerned that I had a kidney stone. I was doubled over in pain, shaking. (Side note, my kidney disease causes me to be unable to take any Ibuprofen or Aleve so not a lot of relief options for this girl) After a couple lab tests the ER doc comes back in the room and says so...you’re pregnant. My husband and I look at each other shocked! Of course my shock went to worry because I was in excruciating pain and bleeding quite a bit.
After an uncomfortable Intervaginal ultrasound, we were able to rule out an intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy. However I had an cyst on my left ovary that had ruptured (explained the pain on my left side) and they were unable to see the pregnancy on ultrasound sound. Either it was too early or I was/am in the process of miscarrying.
Had another lab done to this morning to see if my Hcg level has gone up or down since Thursday. I’m nervous and scared to find out the results. I’m still in pain, and bleeding. I’m pretty much set to hear that I have suffered a miscarriage. I don’t know how I feel about all of this. All I know is I love my husband and how reassuring he has been. He keeps telling me he’s proud of how strong I am being and that “at least we know we can get pregnant!”
Just had to let this out to someone. Anyone have a similar experience?
