Annoyed at the doctor ๐
In October of last year I suffered a miscarraige. 3 months later I got pregnant again and it ended in an ectopic pregnancy ๐ฅ it was classed as a "pregnancy in an unknown location" as they could not find it on the scan. The pregnancy was found in my right tube weeks later after I was rushed for surgery due to internal bleeding. When the doctors operated they also found out that my left tube does not work so they did not want to remove the right one where the ectopic was. Instead they sorted the internal bleeding, brought me round and gave me the metho shot to flush out the ectopic instead. After 10 months myself and my partner are ready to try again, however we have lots of questions as it is a "high risk" pregnancy. The early pregnancy unit said that I should be referred to a consultant via my doctor so I made an appointment with the doctor yesterday. The doctor basically laughed at my concerns, said I'm "not even pregnant yet" and that there was no need for me to speak to anyone and that even when I do get pregnant they shouldn't need to refer me UNLESS it becomes another ectopic again... Which quite frankly, is bull. I will need to be monitored from the very beginning ๐ I really wanted to discuss with someone the fact that if it becomes another ectopic again firstly, will they take the tube this time? Which means I will only ever be able to have IVF ๐ I just really wish I could go through my concerns and questions with someone going forward and the doctor dismissing that made me upset and angry. Sorry for the huge rant people! ๐
