Pregnancy Info HOME

I was 22 yrs old when I had my first daughter. At age 25 I had my second daughter but 6 weeks later I noticed I had missed my period so I took a pregnancy test.

It came back positive. I could not believe it because I was being care full, “so I thought”.

I went to see my doctor she then tested me and said I was pregnant. According to the ultrasound I was about 8 weeks.

I then was told to get an ultrasound in two more weeks which would have made me 10 weeks. On this day they tell me the baby is dead and they need to do a DNC.

I get a DNC the following day; she sends me home and tells me to return in 4 weeks. During this time I just felt something was wrong. When I returned I told her I had been having a discharge, she said it was just a yeast infection and wanted to send me on my way. But something told me to ask for another pregnancy test. My doctor said no but when the nurse came in I asked her for one. She did give me one and the test was still positive. My HCG level was too high...

We all could not understand, my doctor was so scared and shocked. They did another ultrasound and said there was grape like things in side of my uterus. This all happened so fast. Every one had a scared face no one knew what was going on.

I then over hear a two doctors saying that there was never a baby and it was a pocket of blood. They also say that this type DNC should have been done under a ultrasound.

I was so scared and confused asking my self “so was this there fault??” I wanted a 2nd opinion but there was no time. They rushed me to get a second DNC. Keep in mind these are top notch doctors from the Medical Center in Houston TX.

I then was told that I have caner, that if any cell was left behind during the DNC it turns to cancer. Then they said it was a rare cancer it only happens in 1 of every 8000 women.

My husband and I were so confused its like no one knew. Within these weeks the cancer had traveled from my uterus to my lungs.

I began chemo therapy to lower my HCG level which causes me to show a positive pregnancy test and four months I was finally cancer free. But I might never know what really happened….

I hope no one will ever have to go through what I did.
