Hi,
Someone emailed me the following through this Forum, and since we're here to help everyone, I'm copying/pasting the message, with my response, below:
==========================
Hello Doctor,
My story is that I got married 9 months back, after 5 month to our marriage we decided to try for a baby, we kept on trying but I was unable to conceive, I went to 4 different doc and apparently everyone said that I am fine yet there is just no reason why I wasn't getting pregnant, then doc suggested me to take clomid 50mg for 5 days, which I did and I got pregnant, I found it on the very same day I missed my period, I was so happy and over excited ( as per my blood report my serum level was 400ml, whc as per the report range I was 4 weeks pregnant) , but then I had this viral fever and cough which is quite common in our cit/ country at the moment, my fever started from 100 and went upto 104...when I told me doc she suggested that I should just take pandadol and no other medicine, 3 days later I had a bad upset stomach issue and I completely dehydrated.. doc admited me in the hospital and put me on a-antibotic, I was on drips, I was there for 2 days - 3 glucose drip, 5 drips!
of antibotic flygel and 3 antibotic drip of trimax... while I was there I even contacted 2 other doc because I was not sure about these heavy medicine but they said that looking at my condition these medicine were important for me and are not harmful for the baby, anyways I got better and got home, and after 2 hours I started to bleed, I called my doc she said that its quite common and gave me another medicine and told me to have 2 of these and it will be fine, I did but nothing happened, and I started bleedin like crazy with heavy clots, i went to another doc in emergency n she said that I was given wrong and heavy medicine due to which baby is gone and even if I now try to keep the baby - it might carry some health issue so I should just let it go, even then she said that I should have an ultrasound, which I did, and apparently by uterus was clear, normal size, no gestational sac seen, no free fluid, right ovary 3.1*2.1 cm with anechoic cyst measuring 1.7cm, left ovary 2!
.8*1.8cm, normal size shape and echotexture.
so the doc said that the baby is gone and said that I don't need D&C because it was way to early pregnancy and gave me medicine so that while I bleed everything get clear and empty.
Now I have no idea what happen with me and why it happen, apart from the depression I am going through its very important for me to know that what was the reason behind what happen to me was it:
1. My Health issue that was my high fever and stomach upset
2. was that a wrong medicine and heavy antibiotics
3. or I have internal issue? means my progesterone level was low?
bwt I should also mention, that when I had clomid, doc told me to have a day 12 ultrasound, which I did and my though I had many follicles but size was 0.8cm and 0.7 cm and doc said that its way too small and I might not be getting pregnant this time... but then I did so did I miscarraige because of small egg size?? Also 2 month before I had my day 21 progesterone test.. it was 12.13 ng/ml, it was falling under my luteal phase (1.7 - 27 range). but then one doctor said that my level is fine, but then the other doc said that this level is too low, so I may not be able to sustain pregnancy ( if I got pregnant ever)...
So I really don't know what to do next, can you please suggest any tests that I should go for or any other thing so that I maybe know what was the cause of my loss so that i may avoid it in future and this should not happen again, I am sorry for taking so much of your time but I really need help.
============================
I'm sorry to hear about your loss and your problems. Make sure your hCG blood level is undetectable so that the pregnancy has totally resolved (and also to make sure it wasn't an ectopic pregnancy).
It's impossible for me to say why this happened, or what happened, without a comprehensive review of all your records. I highly suggest you place yourself under the care of a board certified fertility specialist, if one exists in your area/country. You are getting differing opinions and that's not necessarily in your best interest. Also, IF someone ovulates normally all by herself, and if she is given Clomid, it can potentially increase her risk of a miscarriage....
Hope this helps, and wish you success,
