New to the group! TTC after a miscarriage please read
This is a long post and I do apologize, this is everything that has happend since November that is making it hard for my husband and myself to conceive.
Hello,
My name is Katrina Rose but I like to go by Kat for short. My husband David and I got married November 14, 2015! We had been together for 2 years before saying "I do"!
We found out I was pregnant back in October (I think around the 22nd). We were so excited to grow our family. I have a 9 year old daughter who I had from a past relationship, but David loves her just as if she was his!!
On November 16th 2015 we went to our first prenatal appointment only to find that we had losses our baby at 7 weeks, I was supposed to be 9 weeks at this time.
This was a Monday and they had gave me medicine to push along the miscarriage. Later this day I had server cramping followed by passing a lot of blood (tissues) which I had thought was our baby. I went back for my follow up appointment that Friday the 20th. There we found out that our baby was still intact.
They gave me the combination of pills again and sent me home to go through the whole process again. I went back Friday the 27th and still had not been able to pass our baby, they scheduled me for a DNC later in the afternoon.
After my DNC I went home to rest as I was in a lot of pain, both mentality and physically. Around 4pm this same day the pain felt as if it was only getting worse and not better. So my husband had taken me back to the hospital.
Once at the hospital the doctor asked a bunch of questions (like always) and then proceed to look around and did some scraping as said everything looks like it was healing up just fine and sent me home. The whole going back and forth to and from the hospital continued for the next 4 days, cause the pain was more server each time I went and each time I went the scraped around my cervix.
On Tuesday the 1st of December 2015 I had went back to the hospital because the pain was so bad I couldn't even walk. They did the same things as every other time I went and still said nothing was wrong. They sent me home around midnight or 1am on Wednesday the 2nd and once home I took a pain pills and tried to get some rest.
I woke up around 5 that same morning with extreme pain and had woke my husband up and told him. About 15 minutes of being up I started to bleed a lot. After about an hour it had got worse but didn't want to go to the hospital cause they would just tell me "nothing seems to be wrong" and send me home anyway.
I began to hemorrhage and my husband forced me to go to the hospital where I sat in the waiting room for another 20 minutes hemorrhaging, once I got back the took my blood and found that my hemoglobin levels had dropped down to 6 grams per deciliter and they are supposed to be between 12-15.5 grams per deciliter. They looked in side and seen that is was all fresh blood that I was loosing.
They has sent me up for an emergency DNC and found that there were still parts of our baby that was left in my uterus. Once I heald from the 2nd DNC everything seemed to be fine and going back to normal.
October was still the last time I have had and actually cycle (still to this day August 1st 2016) my OB/GYN doctor thought that I might have ashermans syndrome and scheduled me for a procedure that they make 3 incisions on my abdomen. While in there they found in had a cyst on my ovary and had removed it that also removed the little bit of scaring I did have and also found that I have endometriosis. And this is were I stand today, I go back in September to see what our next step is going to be. I still have not had much of a cycle. I bleed for one day on July 9th 2016 and then vary lightly spotted for the 2nd and 3rd day and that was then end of my cycle if that was what it was.
P.S
I'm sorry for the ones who had read all the way through this long long letter!! I wanted to get my story out there so that if someone has went through somthing like this they could give me any kind of insight.
Thanks
Katrina Rose
