I'm so sorry for your loss and that you have found yourself back here. I can't believe the insensitivity at that hospital. I'm so upset for you. Please take care of yourself (((big big big hugs))))
I'm sorry for your loss and the lack of respect you experienced in the ER. As a nurse it makes me feel really bad to hear that a nurse could be so insensitive! Hugs to you!

Big ((hugs)) I am so sorry to see you back here. I agree with the other ladies, you need to file a compliant with the hospital that's ridiculous and no woman should go through that.

So, so sorry for your loss. Also sorry about the shitty ER experience. I'm glad you spoke up to them though. While they do still obviously suck, my REs office basically told me the same thing after my CP. Again, so sorry and (((hugs))) to you.
As someone with repeat CPs, I can tell you that is fairly typical response for a doctor to say the risk of another one is low. After my first one i was really optimistic, as i should have been and you should be. The cause of CPs is quite different from later term losses. CPs are usually terminal chromosomal issues...trisomy, missing chromosomal information. Unless you have an issue like mine, this is just a fluke and you shouldn't expect a repeat.
Exactly what happened to you at the ER is why I have always refused to go to the ER when my doctor told me to.
Married April 2011
TTC since May 2011
April 2012 first loss - CP
November 2012 2nd loss - 7 weeks (though I ovulated late so it is likely a CP as well) Hormone workup and u/s showed everything looked fine
December 2012 3rd loss - CP GP tested my hormones and incorrectly diagnosed me with premature ovarian failure (hormone testing needs to be timed with you cycle)
January 2012 OB/GYN recurrent loss testing I do not have premature ovarian failure. Dx: MTHFR (take a B-complex daily) - single gene Factor II (take a baby asprin daily) - single gene
February 2013 Genetic counseling Dx: MTHFR doesn't matter (take extra B, though) Factor II is unlikely but possible (later miscarriages) Balanced Chromosome Translocation bw 5&6 (likely causing everything) I was given a 49% chance at success due to the chromosome issue
August 2013 4th loss - CP
October 2013 5th loss - CP Prenatal workup found that I had low progesterone Further testing after loss found that I had low antithrombin
November 2013 RE workup RE told me to stop the asprin (not my issue) RE told me that my low progesterone was due to my body knowing the pregnancy was failing Dx: Sono-HSG - Arcuate uterus DH is fine, so far (still waiting on karyotyping for him)
Still need to do my CD3 hormone workup
TL;DR: 5 losses => Balanced translocation, arcuate uterus, factor II, low antithrombin, and MTHFR
The nurse that did the blood draw was making all sorts of hilarious (sarcasm) jokes about how I was probably very drunk and how he hoped he didn't mess up my blood draw too much. I had to bring the hurt to his doorstep. I said, "while I appreciate that this is all very hilarious, I am thousands of miles away from home, at the ER with my BOSS (not my mom as they all assumed) and having the second miscarriage in 5 months. So, you must excuse me but this is not funny." Silence. Assclowns.
The hcg came back at 7 and the a-hole ER doc implied that I (a) was faking a pregnancy and really was just having a period or (b) was too dumb to know how to use an hpt. SO, I busted out ff and asked if he'd like to see my calendar/testing history. Assclown.
Ultrasound showed good ovaries but no pregnancy. And, as an added bonus, a fibroid that seems to be getting bigger since my last loss.
I go to my OB on Monday for a f/u blood draw, ultrasound, discussion of the fibroid and next steps, and (hopefully) a good pep talk.
As for the first thing, you are awesome for standing up for yourself. I'm sorry he was an asshat.
I have a fibroid, too... Getting more info about it Friday I hope.

Dear God, Since I couldn't hold my little one in my lap and tell him about you, could you hold him in your lap and tell him about me?
I'm late in responding to this, but I wanted to send you lots of ((HUGS))!!! I'm so very sorry that you had to go through this, especially with a-holes at the ER! I agree that you should document your experience and send in that survey to let the administrators know what a horrible experience you had. I hope that your appointment goes ok and that the healing part goes quickly. Take care of yourself!!!
