I went to the hospital yesterday (12.03.21) after phoning them on Wednesday (10.03.21) about me bleeding. They did a untrasound then an internal one and told me it wasn't good news. I already knew I had miscarried so had prepared myself for it. (my partner wasn't allowed in with me because of bloody covid rules so had to do this part on my own) I probably seemed really cold and heartless to them but I just felt numb. We had been trying and finally got pregnant after 2 years!
I then had the consultation after (my partner was finally allowed to come in with me) where they told me that I had a 11cm pedunculated fibroid which may have caused the miscarriage. My overies and womb were perfect so I could try again. Most people who have a fibroid have a small one which measures at around 3cm. We discussed our options (leaving it, medication or removal) she asked what I would like to do and there is no way it is staying inside of me so I said I wanted it removed. After looking on the Internet, it has said that it's too large for medication to really do much to it anyway. If I had the op to remove it (which I will) then it is apparently only meant to be a day thing. I have epilepsy which has put a stop to it only being a day thing unfortunately. The recovery time can be from 4-8 weeks! My partner works full time and I'm classed as part time apparently (36hours a week) He will obviously be the only one bringing the money in while I am off after the op but pain is one of the main triggers of my epilepsy so I am so worried about it. I'm lucky that I've had no seizure so far because the pain I'm in at the moment is ridiculous. I can even stand up straight.
Don't know if this is normal?
Sorry for the really long thread. I just needed to get it all out and speak to people who may know what I'm going through right now. None of my family or friends have been through anything like this.
