Even in the storm, don’t stop trying to fly

October 1st

Seems to be one thing after the other at the moment. Just haven’t been able to get back to middle ground.

After our miscarriage at the end of July I got my next period rather early. 

Only a couple of weeks break & the uterus had fallen back into her old ways.  

But then 5 days of bleeding turned into 10 days, then 15 days and finally stopped on day 20.

I was made aware that irregular periods are common after miscarriage and didn’t think much of it other than that.

Until we spoke with our fertility clinic at the end of August.             (5 weeks later)

My specialist performed an examination – pelvic swabs , ultrasound and bloods which showed I had a slight tear in my uterus and had caused an infection.

After two courses of antibiotics, that gave me thrush.And a Diflucan tablet to clear the yeast infection.

I thought all was well…and then the second period came.

Bright red and heavy.

I took this as a good sign that the lining was fresh and clear of infection.

But after 15 days of bleeding I began to wonder otherwise.

Off for more pelvic scans and bloods. 

Turns out I have a name for my infection now……..

‘Endometritis’.

*On a side note; 

Endometritis is different from endometriosis, though both conditions affect the lining of the uterus.

 

These last couple of weeks I’ve been taking another two lots of antibiotics; Cefalexin and Flagyl. hopefully they will do the trick.

Back to the GP this Tuesday for a follow up.

Hoping for a calm amongst the storm.
