Hi Everyone,
I am/was 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. My OH and I had only recently started trying for our 1st baby and luckily we conceived in the first month, which we were thrilled about. Unfortunately, this week I had brown spotting on/off for a couple of days and a dull lower back ache. I went to see my Doctor who said these signs were common and I had nothing to be concerned about. However, the following day, trusting my instinct, I took myself to the EPU for an early scan.
The process was horrific (internal scan) but the Nurse informed me I had no signs of Ectopic, which was my main concern at the time. However, she later took me in a room and said that I had an irregular shaped Sac and it wasn't as round as it should be. The yolk was in place but it was too early to see a baby. She also informed me that it is highly likely I will miscarry (if I haven't already..) because of this. I am absolutely heartbroken. I haven't had any spotting today but all of my pregnancy symptoms have disappeared, minus the lower back ache. The Nurse said that sometimes the sac changes shape but because I have bled, it's likely it won't be the case for me.
I just wanted to ask if anyone would please provide advice on how to cope? The Nurse lacked concern and said it 'just happens' and to go in for a scan in 9 days to confirm it. I understand it is common but the lack of support or understanding was so poor from her..I literally drove home in a daze.
Sorry for the essay and thank you x x
