Fireflies TCC a rainbow baby

[CelticNiamh]

Sunshine with my first mc I should have been 8 to 9 weeks but when scanned all they could see was an empty sac I was spotting that day when I went in and I think the scan and doctor checking my cervix probably escalated my MC I was kept in as they wanted to do a more detailed scan the next day to make sure it was not ectopic but my MC happened in hospital bleeding was not to bad more so when I went to the toilet and I passed a lot more then and I noticed clots but they were not very big I had bad pains for 1 hour and they eased off then bleeding went back to being like a period and think I bleed for a few days after this MC was different as I know I passes sac, then baby and it was the next day when I passed the placenta and all pains stopped

I guess my point is, that you may be passing more when you sit on the loo and less on to your pad so hopefully all is going as it should be and when you have your scan it will show a complete mc and you wont need a DNC

So I did 2 more pregnancy test today to see how all was going and they are still positive but I think fainter letting them dry so I can compare in a bit

Like the one time we root for AF to come (post-MC), it's also the only time we want to see hpts getting fainter and fainter! Feel free to post photos of the tests if you want our opinions!

that's good Niamh! Keep dropping hcg!!!

Afm - I just called my dr and insisted that I wanted to postpone my d&c. The receptionist said she would check with him and call me back. I waited 45 minutes, sooo nervous and getting more flustered with each minute. She called me back and said he wanted me to go in for an u/s tomorrow to see if it was progressing and whether we still needed the d&c Wednesday. I got really upset and told her there hasn't been enough passed for an U/S tomorrow to show that. I told her I wanted to wait, and I know that it won't be enough based on what I've seen. And that I wanted to postpone. She put me back on hold and checked again. finally, he agreed to give me an u/s next Monday and then we'll re book the d&C if not enough has passed. I'm so thankful. It at least gives me a week to see what happens. If my body doesn't do enough then of course I'll have the surgery. Just want to give it time. She wasn't too impressed with me, but I'm feisty and I'll fight for what I want.

Sorry you were flustered and upset by your medical office! She might not be too impressed with you, but I am! Way to advocate for yourself! That's what patients are supposed to do!

As long as you have no signs of infection, then you SHOULD be allowed to try to have a natural MC. I hope the MC continues to progress on its own and you can avoid any further medical intervention (besides U/S).

Thanks!! fingers crossed all keeps going well. I could use a break and not have to go get the surgery. I quit my job this week and I'm starting back at my other job (my career job lol) next Thursday! Really don't want to have to cancel my first week back.

Hey ladies -
Sorry I had so many pages to catch up on reading that I didnt keep track of who said what.

But I wanted to chime in. I had my D&C follow up appointment today. (Some of you may recall that we are also having testing done on the fetus). The testing has not come back with results yet, she said we should have them within about one more week.
We asked what is recommended for how long to wait, and she said she would recommend we wait one cycle, and is worried about my emotional well-being more than the physical. I think hubby and I are going to wait two cycles. We havent really talked about it in detail yet though. We are for sure waiting until after my first cycle.
She said it could be another 4 weeks before I get my AF back.
She said I should start taking a baby aspirin if I get pregnant again. She said theres no harm in taking it, but recent studies have shown it MIGHT help with some issues in pregnancy. (I saw a couple of you discussing this earlier).
Also, she said she could refer us to a geneticist to do more genetic testing on both DH and I, but that she doesnt feel it will change our future results at all. (We've got some other medical stuff that is playing into our chances of success, as well).
All in all, we didnt really get any great answers, but it was a good visit and we decided that if we do get pregnant, this is the MD we want to use going forward.

Sunshine they shouldn't be pressuring you. There are certain danger signs to look for - filling more than a pad an hour, extreme pain, smelly discharge etc. but if that's not present you are allowed to choose how and what medical intervention you have. In total my miscarriage took 3 weeks! Not once did my midwife think I needed a D&C or anything close.

 

[sunshine2014]

Thanks ajarvis. I agree. It's my choice, and I definitely don't have that much (a pad an hour). In fact it's only when I go to the bathroom that it seems to happen.

Today has been lighter though, hoping that's not a bad sign that I should have had the d&c. Yesterday there were more clots etc...but today it's light. Anwyays, my fingers are still crossed. Happy I got out of it for now.

kozmickitten - so sorry for your appt news - although I'm glad you like the Dr you saw. IT sounds like she really explains everything, which is nice. Hope your results come back quickly and you have some answers, as hard as it may be.

Thanks for the info re: baby asprin. I will defintieyl speak with my DR next time I'm there.

I think my entire miscarriage I filled 1.5 pads maybe. Pretty much all of it came out when I went to the bathroom.

 

[sunshine2014]

Oh really? Okay...so not too much. I was worried it wasn't enough. The clotting seems to have eased off today. Hmm....

wantingagirl, I posted my fb info yesterday… I think? Not sure if you saw it. Here it is again:

If it's easier, I can PM this to you.

Hope your tests keep getting lighter! My hpt line disappeared before my opk line.

I didn't bleed like I imagined I would… I mean, it was a lot, but most of it happened when I passed the sac, baby, and placenta. After that, it was fairly light. I was 9w2d at the time of the MC. I don't think there's any right amount! As long as you're passing something and the bleeding eventually stops. Also, I can say that my uterus seems to be doing the final cleanse with this AF… There was definitely some old blood left behind from the MC as I have had a lot of brown blood…In fact, more brown blood than bright red at this point. Ultrasound will show what's there, but if you're passing contents, then it's all good UNLESS you show signs of infection like odd smell to discharge/contents, fevers, chills, nausea, pain, etc.

Fading nicely! Every day is a day closer to TTC again!

 

[hope2bmother]

I'm seeing a recurrent mc specialist next week and I'll ask her if it's ok to start taking it before the test results come back,what dose ect then I'll let you know. I hope she lets me take it, at least psychologically it would help!

Ohhh, you're looking into baby asprin too Steph? Then sure! Let me know what she says. Thanks!

I have heard of the baby Aspirin thing, but I agree that waiting till you see the specialist to start is the best approach… I know we all want our rainbow babies and are wanting to do whatever it takes! I know I have personally added even more to my already extensive TTC regimen. I try to do some fertility yoga (free videos on Youtube!)… I'm looking into fertility massage and warm castor oil packs… Also have heard of taking epsom salt baths to help suck out any extra toxins in the body!

I'm also attempting to cut out all added refined sugar (dessert type sweets) and alcohol. I'm not a big drinker, but I do like a glass of red wine every now and again! We shall see how I fair with these.

I know that Niamh has posted her fertility regimen and some of us are thinking of adding things like maca, but are any of you doing anything else to increase your chances of conceiving? Just curious!

 

[sunshine2014]

Thanks hope. Not passing any contents yet. Fingers crossed.

 

[ajarvis]

also sunshine I got to a point that I thought I was passing and having the miscarriage cause some clots came out, but it wasn't. The majority of the bleeding was when the sac and some tissue came out and the placenta. The days in between I'd have little gushes when I'd go to the toilet, but no "need" to go sit and push stuff out like with the sac and placenta.

 

[sunshine2014]

Oh boy ajarvis. That sounds awful. I'm definitely not there yet. Just bleeding when I go pee. But nothing like I need to get it out. Oh boy. I'm starting to wonder if I made the right choice.

My cramps are bad tonight. I've had heat on all night. Not sharp just dull, painful aches.
