Hello everyone, feeling very brave and proud of my first ever post!
Have been lurking for a couple of weeks, since I found out I was pregnant two weeks ago. Its taken us nearly a year (our first) so were v v excited.
Now the bit I need help with...
I had some dark brown discharge last Wed and (as we were due to go away for two weeks) very kind GP booked me in to Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic. By dates I should have been about 8 weeks, they couldn't find an 8 week pregnancy but could see something on my ovary which they were worried about. If my blood test came back below 1000 they would let me go and continue to monitor. It was over 3000, so they admitted me for emergency laparoscopy. I was told I would probably wake up minus an ovary.
Actually came round to be told, there was no ectopic, and I had a pregnant uterus. I'm sure you can imagine it was a bit of a tough day!
I've continued to have brown discharge all week, and have just about recovered (emotionally and physically). Just in time for my follow up scan tomorrow then!
We'll be told whether the pregnancy has grown, or whether it stopped growing some time ago. I can't even think about it at the moment, taking an hour at a time, let alone a day.
Please someone tell me something positive/practical advice! Or bung some spare sympathy this way. DH has been great with helping me recover physically from the operation. But he doesn't seem to understand that in my eyes I'm already a mother, and tomorrow could take that away from me.
Sorry to be so down for my first post, and to go for so long. I didn't realise how cathartic it would be to let it all out.
Cheers
