Hi everyone,
A little advice please. I recently lost my baby at 4 months (December 29 2020). Baby has had a post mortem due to late misscarriage, we're waiting on P. M update to which we've been told can take 13 + weeks. I've had lots of blood test and having to go for another one tomorrow. So far their finding are a possible viral infection as infection markers were raised. I'm angry at myself, if it was a viral infection did I catch it from working in the hospital - my full time job.
When I was scanned to check baby they noticed I have a fibroid that's approx 12cm. I'm so worried now. I understand fibroids can shrink, degenerate when estrogen levels drop ( post partum/ menopause). I'm now 41 and still trying for a baby, devastated I've lost my little one, hoping and wishing I can try for another.( we had been trying for 6 months)
I'm now worried the fibroid may cause issues. I believe it's in my upper top right uterine wall, no growth within the endometrial cavity. I'm nagging and nagging Dr's and midwife to organise a scan to see if it has started to shrink. Now with covid I think it's going to be a while...time that I don't have on my side. I either wait a possible 13 weeks to meet with consultants regarding and findings with baby and my bloodwork.( The consultants will also write up a tailored care plan for any future pregnancy)
Or wait up to 5 months for a scan.. Or just start trying for a baby which would then push my consultant to scan and tailor me a care package if I'm lucky enough to fall pregnant in the time frame.
I really want to have a family with my partner, we're so desperate to have a little one, I just don't know what to do for the best.
Thanks guy's.
