Hi everyone,
I'm new to this so please bare with me and my story.
I found out I'd had a MMC on 19th Nov due to a blighted ovum. I went on to have a very painful MC on 27th Novemver which continued into the next day. I passed the sac and continued to bleed for another week. When I phoned my local EPAU they told me to take painkillers for the pain and to take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks. Zero aftercare. I waited anyways and took a test - positive. I called the EPU and they said to wait another week - positive.
They finally agreed to scan me on Monday this week...nearly 5 weeks after I oroginally miscarried and they found a 6mm piece of tissue with a high blood supply. They said this could be either retained product or an artero-venous malfunction (which, after reading up on it seems quite terrifying) so instead of an ERPC they took my bloods. Turns out I have levels of 113 still in my system, they want me to go back next week for another blood test to see of they are decreasing.
I suppose I want some advice on whether they should really be doing more about the retained product. Surely that's the reason why my levels are decreasing so slowly?
I'm really at my wits end now and it's really starting to affect me mentally. This was my first pregnancy and I just want to draw a line under it now.
Sorry for the long post!!!
