I'm 12 wks pregnant on tue next wk, I had a private scan at 8 wks pregnant and told it was an empty sac a blighted ovum, sent to hospital 3 days later who scanned and said the same and offered abortion pills, d&c or wait it out! I didn't want to continue any longer with it if that was the case as lost a pregnancy only a month and half before so took the pills as the wait for surgery was hrs, they only vaguely seemed to have worked, they kicked in about 7 hrs later and I just had some mild backache, went for a wee and there was some blood but nothing significant and that was it no more bleeding since, this was 3 wks ago, I've continued to grow in size and feel very much pregnant still in every aspect! Tests coming up instantly positive and done one this morning showing 3+ wks pregnant, rang EPU they said they can't see me until Monday morning.
I just feel so confused! I've also read so many stories online of women scanned that early which is technically only 6.5 wks when you take off the first 12 or so days up to conception, but reading stories where they waited it out and went for another scan wks later to have found out they were pregnant and it just wasn't either noticed, too small at the time or a tilted uterus! Even found one woman who'd took the pills like me to end up with it not appearing to work like in my case and then found out on a third scan she was pregnant and they found the heartbeat!!!
Do I try and pay for a private scan to be seen sooner and has this ever happened to anyone you know?? And do you think just 2 days after an 8 wk scan is too soon for the hospital to be advising on taking more drastic measures?! I just wish I'd not rushed in and taken those pills because what if I am and what effect could they have had!
