I don't want to go back to EPU.

I'm currently going through my 3rd miscarriage in a row. I'm tired. And just plain pissed off at the whole thing.

I did go to the EPU when the bleeding started. It was very light and they did my bloods which came back at 250 at 5 weeks. The bleeding has now gotten heavy since & is basically just like a period. All symptoms gone like with the last two.

I've not gone back to the EPU for my repeat bloods. I don't want to. I know whats happening, I've been here twice before. I don't want someone sticking another needle in me and waiting for a phone call to tell me something I already know.

I'm not in any pain. I just want to be at home.

Can I just not go back? I know of course I can just not go if I want to but I mean, if I'm not in pain & the bleeding dies down on it's own, I can just assume myself that it's finished and there weren't any complications?

I probably sound silly. I know health is important in these things but honestly I can't explain just how tired I am of it all. I don't want to go back there and realise I recognise the nurses who work there. Or sit in a room full of women waiting for their scans or holding their babies. It's just fucking irritating. I want to be on my own sofa with my own DP and lovely pets and just grieve together without the hassle.

I am so so sorry for your losses. I’m in the exact same position as you waiting on my third mc to happen and I totally understand where you are coming from. Can you call them and explain? They will probably advise you to do a pregnancy test at some point to make sure it comes back negative. Sending you big hugs xx

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's such an awful thing to experience isn't it and can totally understand not wanting to go back. Just to make sure from a medical and physical side of things I'd suggest phoning the EPU to ask if you really need to go back in for anything. Hopefully they just say to take a HPT and if BFN then you should be ok. I hope you can take all the time you need to heal emotionally and physically from this Flowers
