Please Help Lister Hospital Stevenage Rant*

I went for an early scan yesterday and they found two cysts on my left ovary

Baby looked completely fine. BPM 138

They couldn't get a good enough look at my right ovary but I've had some light pain there so I rang my midwife and told her as I thought maybe I had another cyst on my right side that they may have missed, she advised for me to go to A&E just incase as I'm only 7+3.

I did this and the nurse that was looking after me basically looked at my scan from yesterday and said that the woman who did my scan used to do scans for the hospital but that they wouldn't be able to use these scans she done as they need to do their own at the hospital.

She then went on to say I might have an ectopic pregnancy and that even though the scans looked fine she can't take that into account because they were done elsewhere (even though she knew the woman who done my scan)

She was the least compassionate woman I've ever met

She put the fear into me and my partner for no reason and I'm furious over it.

She even took my blood pressure and then asked me to remove the clip from my finger and the arm band myself

So I did

Then the machine starts repeatedly beeping and she asks me to turn the machine off for her 🤔🤔🤔

Bare In mind she was literally two feet away from it.(I thought this was really unprofessional)

Ive booked a trip home tomorrow to tell my family I'm pregnant and now I'm so worried I've made a mistake telling them so soon :(

I'm 7+3 and it's my first pregnancy

I've had no bleeding

No pain in my shoulders

No painful weeing

No nausea or sickness

No intense pain that I haven't been able to handle at all

Just really short pains that last about a minute and then I'm fine, they aren't even intense pains, I haven't once felt like I needed a painkiller or anything, because they're completely manageable.

And I've told her I had these pains since long before I was pregnant.

So I'm really furious over he whole thing because she made me feel like I definitely have an ectopic pregnancy even though none of the symptoms match? 😭

She is going to book me in for a scan next week when I'm home but I just don't know what to do :/ anyone else been through something similar?!

I've added a picture below, can anyone see anything wrong with this? Is there a way to tell if it's ectopic from this Transvaginal scan? 😞 I feel so deflated after today.
