I wrote you back in January. I’m the one who lost three babies with two pregnancies. I’m coming back to you for more advice.
My obgyn was of no help. He simply pushed my concerns and problems to the side. I had the D&C December 21st. There were no complications then. I never bleed any afterwards until the the fifth day. I had pain and bright red bleeding with some rather large clots to pass. The bleeding turned to brown discharge back to red then pink then to red where I am presently. It seems that the spotting is just enough to wear a pad and seems to only increase during bowel movements and urinating and a day after intercourse. It’s been ten wks since the D&C and I haven’t had really one clean day. I never know what to expect to find. There’s some off-and-on cramping that accompanies this. I don’t think I have gotten my period yet.
Before all this I was a very normal person every 28 days. I knew exactly when I was ovulating because of the one sided pain. There was never any in-between bleeding to occur. During my research on trying to find out what caused the miscarriages, I found out that I had a corpus luteum cyst.(The doctor stated this in his ultrasound report during the finding of my fetal demise.) That measured close to 7cmx6cm on my left ovary. I have some pain on the right side near the ovary. In November the ultrasound reported one on the right about the same size as the left, the ultrasound report didn’t mention this one in December.
I’m hoping you can tell me what is going on. Are the last ten weeks normal? Did the cyst that showed on the ultrasound during my short pregnancy have anything to do with my loss?
The doctor didn’t feel that my hormones needed to be checked and at six weeks my irregular bleeding was no concern. He didn’t even seem to want to see if there was infection. My choice of doctors specializing in this stuff(only 2 in my hometown) is very slim. I’m presently looking for one. I must say that your advice in January was the best advice I have received this far.
I need the bleeding to stop so I can go back to normal and start planning my future. Do you think that I could conceive right now and should I? We’re not using anything because I fear of trying and losing another child. I more or less need it to happen naturally witout really trying. If you could respond it would be greatly appreciated.
