OK, I had a SIS procedure on Monday...I had one performed at a hospital I used to work at last year. I changed doc's and he wanted to repeat the procedure b/c he was concerned. Well, when I went for the procedure the another doc in the group took my history and asked about my miscarriage. I told him it was due to GBS (group B Strep) he said that doesn't cause the m/c, my cervix had to be open. I told him that was what I though but the doctor I had denied it vehemently and said my cervix was fine. My new doc said no way, it had to be open in order for the gbs to get in and cause my membranes to rupture. He said the pain that I was feeling prior to the m/c were contractions and the physician should have performed an ultrasound to look at my cervix instead of writing me off as an hysterical first-timer.
I was so relieved to find someone that believes me! And it also pissed me off that my old doc would not admit that he didn't listen to me, nor did he admit he made a mistake. I have started writing a letter to the Chief of OB at the hospital just to let them know that they need to pay more attention to their patient's. Also, he even got my deliver time wrong. He documented I was only 9 weeks when I was actually 17 weeks 4 days. Buzzard!! What if that was my one and only chance at being a mommy. He could have prevented it...I called 3 times to complain of pain, the day of my m/c I had just had a visit and told him again...he blows me off by saying it was round ligament pain, I told him no it isn't and he said cause I had never had it before it may not feel like it but it was...after I left his clinic I felt the first trickle...my membranes had rupture but I didn't know it. It was awful...and it could have been prevented! Ladies, be adament about your care. If you feel like something is wrong complain until someone does something...don't let them blow you off, go to the ER if they won't listen...don't let the doc's or nurses intimidate you....you know how much we all want to be mommies...put all of that energy into getting the physician to do hi dang job! Even if you have to take on the image of that famous "B" word, so be it! Do all that you can to protect you pregnancy and your child. Lord only knows if we will get the chance again.
OK, so my results were that my uterus is clear! whoo hoo...I was so worried. Last year the same hospital said I had polyps. The new doc said that polyps don't go away on their own, especially since I haven't had a period in almost a year. But everything was clear, so he said, either a miracle happened and the polyps disappeared, or they were never they and they misdiagnosed me. Buzzards!!...I am so glad I found a new doc.
If anyone is in NC in the Cary, Raleigh, Durham area, I have a great doc to recommend to you.

Shandris, I could smell a rotten apple with every word you mentioned about the old doc, and you know the ladies here had you diagnosed with IC that minute we read your story. He should be ashamed of himself, saying you delivered at 9 weeks!!! I am so sorry for all that you went through with that doctor and certainly for losing your sweet boy. I wish you the happiest future, my friend.

You are wonderful SheriKCMO, and such a good friend. I am thankful for this board, because as you said you all told me about the IC before my doc did. I wish I could go back in time, but I guess we all do. I just pray that that was not my only chance. I feel like trying again, but I am really scared. Plus, I don't really know what worked last time. SIGH...I know now what to expect and what is not 'normal' to feel. I will be the biggest advocate for myself and my child, the doc's office will get tired of me. LOL...I just pray we all finally have our hearts desire one day soon. I had a dream a few minutes ago that I took a hpt and it was a big, bright, boooming positive. I was scared to tell anyone and just looked at it. I sat down to call DH at work and decided to wait until he got home. I tried to call my doc's office to make an appointment but the line was busy. It was so real...I was disappointed when I woke up...I hope that was a confirmation of things to come.
