Bit of background first, I had an early miscarriage on 4th August and not had a period since then which is making me feel rubbish. I’m generally feeling crap about the whole thing. I had a negative test pretty much straight after miscarriage. We starting trying again, and it’s now over 6 weeks since the miscarriage and no period. Took a pregnancy test and it’s negative.
Anyway, I have just been to see a Dr to find out if they can make sure I’m definitely not pregnant, and then see if there’s anything they can give me to kick start my cycle because it’s really getting to me now and I’m struggling to cope with it. I’m 36 so I know that time isn’t on my side which concerns me. I’ve also been called for cervical screening so wanted to find out when I can have this done.
I saw a trainee Dr at first, she was lovely but had to seek advice from another Dr. The other Dr came in, and was so harsh and insensitive and made me cry.
The Dr questioned whether I was really pregnant in the first place, then said if I was it would have been a blessing in disguise that I miscarried as there would have been something very wrong with it. She said I need to focus on the fact that I already have a little boy and should be thankful for that, and the fact that I allegedly got pregnant before means I’m fertile. She said that I shouldn’t sit there all day crying and eating and getting fatter!! I pointed out that I don’t sit there and cry and eat all day and just because I’m overweight doesn’t mean I’m lazy (I run my own very busy business!). I’m a size 14/16 so not exactly massive, and currently losing weight anyway. I never said I’m crying all the time, I cried because she was being out of order.
She was so insensitive. Just said I have to wait for my period, but do a pregnancy test each week. She has made me feel so upset and 10 ten times worse than what I did when I went in.
No point to this post other than I needed a rant. Feel so shitty now and even more down about the situation 😢
