After the inital shock of finding out I am pregnant again, I have started bleeding today. Phoned the emergancy gp and of course he said that it could be a miscarriage, so he tried to get me an appointment at the EPU but noone is there, so I have to phone my gp tomorrow.. I have a very slight pain on my right hand side, and the bleeding is light. I asked about ectopic pregnancy and he said I would be in serevre pain, which I am not.

I don't think it is an injury and I have had a clear urine test two days ago so not that but it's getting better. Maybe it is just the ligaments getting ready. I feel nothing now...

oh btw the first hospital did do a HCG test on thursday morning,10am, it was 673 the lister did one at 4.30 and it was 684, so at least I know it is rising. just hoping that today's test is over 1000.

Yes I was checked for a UTI which was clear. There are some keytones thought which would suggest im not drinking enough. Pain has pretty much gone now.

SparklyGothKat · 07/01/2007 15:55

no bleeding now, am wondering if it was actually a very light period. Just want to know if my HCG levels have risen enough

well the pain has gone, my boobs aren't as sore, but I am very tired. I can;t eat as much as normal. And I have hard stools (TMI) which is what I had with all my pregnanoes. I have the scan tomorrow morning...

SGK - ring them again - tell them that you are going out of your mind with worry adn there is no valid excuse to be kept waiting - whether its good or bad news.

It takes hours to analyse blood samples. The records are kept on computer so accessible instantly (although they ALWAYS print a copy of the results).

Its Just Not Good Enough.

lissielou · 07/01/2007 16:09

i agree, it really hacks me off. i know the nhs is understaffed etc but they are still there to do a job

apparently the doctor has to give me the results not the nursing staff and he is busy...

VeniVidiVickiQV · 07/01/2007 16:18

SGK - hospitals do have protocols to follow, but, there must be a free SHO that can give you the results.

Ring and insist. They wont like it, but, its not them sitting there chewing their fingers to the bone worrying.

Tutter · 07/01/2007 16:38

still have everything crossed here for you SGK x
