That sounds awful hon, I can not begin to imagine what you have been through, sending you loads of hugs.

thank you......the tablets not working either.....just loads of pain, hope you are slowly healing physically x x

I'm really, sorry to hear about what you have been through! It sounds very traumatic and painful.

I had my scan today and, as expected not good news. I'm booked in for the medication option on Thursday, as Dr said that it I was unlikely to miscarry naturally, as it's taking such along time.

Tonight, I've had some bad stomach cramps of all things, which is quite a surprise as not where I expected to get pain, but still no bleeding!

I hope yours is over as quickly and painlessly as possible!

So sorry for your losses ladies.... It's heartbreaking that so many of us go through it, when your younger having a baby seems like the most normal, easiest thing - no-one ever tells you about this!
Never had much bleeding, just like a normal period really, but have had the medical miscarriage and the ERPC.... Neither were ideal but the medical option was definitely the worst, pain was 10 times worse than my period usually is... And they're painful to say the least! It didn't work for me unfortunately so had to have the ERPC last Thursday a month and a half after finding out I'd lost little flump. Still not 100% sure it's all over as they didn't offer me a follow up scan, but hoping its all done now. Started bleeding again today, but I'm told that's normal. The whole experience has drained me totally, feel physically and mentally exhausted... But just wish I'd opted for the ERPC in the first place then I wouldn't have had to wait so long. So many scans, so many weeks/days/hours/minutes, feel like I should have my own private parking space at the hospital. Just have to play the waiting game now and hope its all finally over.
Big hugs to all who have lost their beautful beans... So sorry. X

Sorry not been here for a while..so thought would update you....for those who have been following..been through more horrible times..since my last update....

Just to recap...

8 weeks plus spent at hospital, scans sometimes twice a week.....first suspected ectopic, finally ruled out..after a few weeks....then baby not growing....finally started to miscarry.....they wanted me to do it natural......many trips to emergency as severe pain and severe bleeding....one time manual evacuation done at hospital, no anaesthetic.....still pain and heavy bleeding continued.....another scan revealed retained tissue...so had meds to help expel it.....heavy bleeding continued and more pain..thought this must be working.....went for another scan...retained tissue still evident and still the same amount..no change.....by this time I am feeling more unwell....so admitted as emergency...and d and c done....iv antibiotics..as infection suspected.....you would think that after everything I had been through..all these weeks of anxiety, worry, sadness that I could not possibly have much more but noooo....

When I woke from D and C I had the most awful headache, sickness was extreme..continuing with nausea.....blood pressure was very low....had to be kept in hospital.......had about 4 cannulas put in....with 3 attemped ones..painful is not the word......more sickness drugs, pain drugs and atibiotics all put in by iv.......headache and sickness does not go at all.....finally blood pressure goes up slightly...so I persuade then to let me go home...2 long days later......

Now.....I am still suffering from the headaches.....nausea is awful.....bleeding has stopped so thats one thing.....can hardly get out of bed as so weak and tired.....continuing with antiobiotics and pains meds....neck pain.....ohhhhh got an infection in one of iv sites so it is painful, lumpy and swollen.......to top it all the cramps has also now returned and it feels like the pain I had with the natural miscarriage......also I feel pregnant....and have sore breasts...what else can I have next.....feel so low...but because all this has happened to me....I am unable to do my grieving properly.....

My sick note runs out Tuesday...have to see the doctor tomorrow..as I don't think I am fit for work yet.....let alone dealt with the emotional pain.....

What does anyone think......sorry if this is a rant...but needed to offload....as I feel so physically ill........this has definately taken its toll on me.....physically...but what will happen emotionally.....xxxx

Omg hon bloody hell what a nightmare. I'm going back to work today for first time. To be honest I'm not sure of I'm ready emotionally, I am getting better physically but still not sure I have passed everything because I keep getting pulling uncomfortable feelings in my uterus. Every time this happened last week I kept passing clots but now I'm not so I'm just hoping it's not just sat there. I have meeting with boss today , been off 5 weeks altogether. Just to recap u I waited 4 weeks to miscarry naturally then ended up in A&E 2 weeks ago. It's only been last day or so then I've started to feel bit better physically. Emotionally not sure really. I would def not rush back to work Hon You don't sound anywhere near up to it yet. Get lots of rest, I think u sound overwhelmed with it all. It's been so horrible for u you need time to get your head together. Not sure what u do for a job but if it's anything like mine you won't get any brownie points for going back when your not ready. I hope u are feeling better soon take care and keep us updated. Pm me anytime if u need to ...... Hugs x Apple xx

Thanks Apple, hope you get on as well as you can do at work today......I do hope that you are not going to have any more loss.....think we both need to be able to move on....I am dreading going back to work and insisted that my boss told all my colleagues as I was scared of being ignored, talked about...such as assumptions I was just skiving...he has done this, so hopefully that will help......anyway been to GP this morning, in tears, he said I was very pale in colour and no where near ready to go back to work....he has signed me off for another 2 weeks and I have to see him next Monday.....he says I now have thrush in my mouth..so on more medication for that....he says I have been through a lot and my body needs time to recover...he says the miscarriage itself is bad enough without the added complications and procedures.....if my uterus tenderness does not improve this week he is going to refer me back to the hospital...he wants me to try to leave the painkillers off to see how I manage as he says it could be causing more pain....its difficult so far but I am trying.....I really want to be well again.....I don't think anyone knows/understands how long it can take to recover from this...I know not always the case....but yeah its taking so long....xxx
