Hi... Sorry, its a long post but will really appreciate if you read.
So I found out at my 12 week scan that I'd had a missed miscarriage as there was no heartbeat and no growth since about 8 weeks.
Because my body wasn't 'dealing with it', medical management was apparently the best option (d&c not an option due to Covid 19). I ended up being in hospital from Monday 9am until midnight Tuesday as first rounds of meds (3 sets of tablets) and a few horrific examinations didn't work, so I got a 2nd round of meds (2 sets of tablets) - I was an emotional mess throughout, and I have to say I felt neglected over the 39 hours I was there. For instance at one point they decided I should be fasting, but no one told me, they just left me to starve and just never came back whenever I asked for a cup of tea.
3 weeks later and still bleeding since being in hospital, I took a pregnancy test and it returned positive.
Back to hospital, had a scan which showed a small clot or amount of tissue left, but not large enough to take direct action. They gave me antibiotics (even though no other signs of infection) to take for a week then another test to take. The doctor didn't even see me, just wrote a prescription in between a number of social calls and chats with the nurses that I could hear from where I was.
Almost a week later, I'm almost though the course of antibiotics, still bleeding and absolutely dreading taking another pregnancy test.
I feel broken and I feel completely failed by the NHS (I'm in Scotland).
If youre still reading... Thank you! And Has anyone had an experience like this? When I asked what might happen if, after a week on antibiotics, I am still bleeding and positive test - nurses refused to answer.
I understand Covid 19 makes things difficult but all I keep seeing it how 'the NHS is still open' and they want people to go, but I feel SO let down. I maybe understand my I miscarriaged, but I do not understand why something so awful has been made worse at every turn, whether that's because my body is failing me or carers just don't seem to care.
