Quick run through what happened.
I was approx 6 weeks PG when 2 weeks ago I had a slight bleed, worrying about it I went along to my local A&E, they said it was probably a threatened M/C and book me in for a scan on the Mon morning, when I went for the scan, no baby was to be seen. That day I had my bloods taken, then again on the Wednesday and again on the Friday, my HCG levels where doubling nicely and the nurse said, that I was OK and probably just got my dates wrong. To be on the safe side she book me in for another scan last Friday.
On Friday morning I woke to severe stomach and back pain, running the loo etc etc (you get the picture) I though I'd got bad wind !, so I ignored this and went along to my scan as normal at 2pm. The sonorgrapher (Sp?) realised something was up and I was escorted to the Gynae Ward. The doctor came and examined me and said he was pretty sure I had a eptopic PG and a space had been booked in theatre that evening. Things then got worse and I started developing a pain in my right shoulder (classic syptoms apparently) and started to pass out, surgery was brought forward and I was rushed in at 4pm.
My eptopic had ruptured and I had lost 1ltr of blood, they took away the PG and all of my left side. I still have my right ovaries and tube.
I am not coping at all well at the moment, I have gone through the process of being thankfull that I am alive as it would appear that it happended so quickly that if I'd have been at home I wouldn't have made it. To coping with the loss of my baby.
I came out of hospital on Monday, but was back in yesterday as I kept feeling faint, my blood count is rising again, so thats a postive.
How do I cope with this, other people who go through the same surgery as me have a baby to show for it, I have nothing.
