First off, I just want to say thanks for all the great support. I have placed a formal complaint the the Patients Relations Rep is now investigating what happened and speaking to the charge nurse as well as the chief of medicine, who will hopefully do some corrective action.
On the flipside of that. I had an excellent and compassionate doctor who listened to me and actually actively participated in my care when I returned for a check up. Unfortunately that's where the good news ends.
I had my ultrasound and had a great ultrasound tech take care of me, but the looks on her face weren't very reassuring. Turns out the ultrasound showed nothing. The tech did both an external and internal scan, but she found no evidence of a baby. The doctors were also concerned about my hcg levels. They said they're extremely low and they are pretty sure they are going to start dropping. I went in on Sunday to have them checked again... and predictibly, they began dropping.
I have since started to bleed like a menstrual cycle and have had af like cramps. This is the end... I've passed numerous clots and the doctors are certain I am having a natural miscarriage. I'm shattered, absolutely destroyed. This is easily the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. Me and DH are at a loss, but we are determined to try again. I feel like that will be the only thing that will allow me to completely move on. The dr has given us the go ahead to try right after my next period, which is what we're going to do... we both want a baby and we're determined now to have one that will stick.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to all of you and I hope to see you all again soon. For now I'm leaving this board. But thanks again and good luck to all of you.
