Greetings everyone, I'm back home, I really missed
this place and wanted to give you an update on my situation.
Last Monday(09/05) I saw my GP after the m/c as I cud only see GYN on Tues (10/05), my understanding and the GPs was that I'd have the GYN do a d&c and my appointment was for 10am. When I got to the GYN, I was totally surprised at the casual approach he had about my situation and he actually suggested that I go back home, take it easy and not do a d&c and let the body clean itself naturally. He said the good news was that we now knew that we cud conceive.... I went there searching for answers and professional advice on what the possible causes were, but I was blown away by his attitude. This is the same GYN who sent me home on Friday (06/05) without ordering any b/w when I told him about the spotting and the pulling I was experiencing, he simply said "It doesn't look good at all" and told me to continue with some meds to stop the bleeding........
From there DH called GP who gave us another referral a GYN/OB and we saw him on Wed afternoon. When I explained what had happened, he did an internal scan, ordered b/w and promplty booked me for surgery the next morning (d&c and laparoscopy). When I returned from theatre GYN/OB confirmed he had done d&c and further discovered that I had Stage 2 Endometriosis, which he was able to burn. I was discharged at 4pm and told to bedrest for at least five days.
We spent those five days away from home and this morning went back to my new GYN who explained what he did and even gave us pictures of before and after the surgery. I have been given a brochure on Endometriosis and websites and adviced on a diet and a slight change of lifestlye to manage this condition.
He said to expect AF in about 6 weeks after that my body will be ready to ttc agian. He said pregnancy could somewhat help alleviate the problem but it would not be a permanent solution. He's given us renewed hope and said if we don't conceive in 6 months we shud see him for fertility treatment. We have a next app in 6 weeks but he said to call in anytime there was a need.
I don't even wish to see my previous GYN's face, he treated me plain badly and I felt that he thought I was neurotic. It is only now that I am experiencing stuff that you ladies talk about and what I read about in the net.
That's my update . I'm still sad about the m/c but I am much happier that we changed drs and feel we'll have better prospects next time around.
BABY DUST TO ALL
