I make an immediate appointment to the see the doctor to find out the next step. I decided I would not go steaming in all guns blazing to talk about suing the hospital. I was told that my contraception had not been touched so why the fig am I now pregnant? I would take it real easy. I packed the plastic cigar still glaring at me from the bathroom along with some fresh pee in case of a retest.
I don’t have to wait long before I‘m sat in front of a bald thickset Asian doctor. I explain that the hospital advised after my previous op that my coil had not been taken out. I had not had a period for 6 weeks and was now in procession of a positive pregnancy test? He explained that the coil was not 100% safe and said it is possible that it could still be inside. He had experienced babies which had been born without removing the coil but also had had situations where removal had brought on miscarriage.
He was a little preoccupied with if would keep the baby or not and seemed quite relived when I said I defiantly would. He advised that the coil was normally removed during the procedure I had, but they should have replaced it and could not understand why I was pregnant. His first priority was to get me booked in for a scan to see if the coil was still inside. My instinct tells me that there is no coil but its better to sure.....
