I want your Ovary

Anonymous Author (December 2006)
We had been trying for a baby for many years,after 3 ectopics and two miscarraiges my gyno told me he wanted me to have a hystarectomy.I looked right into his eyes and said very firmly,this is my ovary and I am keeping it.He replyed that since I only had one damaged
tube and an ovary with leisions on it why keep it as I wouldn't be needing it !!!!!! he stated it was all but usless.and  as such we should remove it.He to be fair had seen me nearly lose my life on a few occasions,one actually needing to be bought back to life.So he was only being carefull of me as his patient.He had openly pleaded with me to stop trying for a baby,the doctor told me he couldn't bare to see me  put my poor body through any more trauma.Well at the end of the day it is my body,and as I said to him my instincts said to hang onto my leision infested ovary anyway.I promised him (with my fingers crossed)I would stop trying for a baby and went home.I told hubby I was not trying for a baby any more.this was in end of november by the end of december early january I was pregnant.We were rained in on the station and I couldnt get out to get a preg test for 5weeks every one(doctors)was panicing as given previous history they envisioned an ectopic again.....I got a person flying through to bring me a test.It was positive so I got the boss to fly me  to  mt isa.Once I got into see the doctor mine wasn't there, the replacement wanted to send me straight up to theatre without a scan and remove the ectopic!!!!!!!!!   Well I fought tooth and nail to say out of that opperating room.It took me a lot of kicking and screaming to get that scan and alot of tears,by this stage I was a mess.the scan man actually recognised my womb not me(nice huh)He did not muck about he gave me the best news I have ever recieved.my Baby was right where she should be and I'll never forget seeing that brave little heart  thump thumping away.Even the trainee student doctor that asked if she could attend the scan broke down and cried.I had the greatest pleasure in informing that other doctor that my Baby was not ectopic!!!!!! You see earlier on she had belittled my attempts to tell her that this pregnancy felt different and  I needed a scan.So please every-one trust your instincts and stand up for your rights, I shudder to think what would've happened to Breanna If I hadn't stood up to this doctor. My advice to you all is Never give up and Never give in. regards Merle

motherly instincts
great article Merle, you have a great instinct, i could't believe the doctors fought against you getting an ultrasound done and they should be ashamed to think they could have killed a healthy little foetus (now Beautiful Breanna)
Such a lucky little girl to have a strong mother like you

xoxox channy!

That is so great. I am so glad you fought the doctors so many people just listen to what the doctor says and not their instincts.
