How long?

[jtink28]

I just started light brown spotting tonight. Baby died at 6 weeks, I am almost 9 weeks now. How long did it take for you all to miscarry once brown spotting started? I'm having terrible backaches and light brown spotting. Just wondering when it will be "full blown."

i just started bleeding a lot of bright red at 9+3. that day i had horrible cramps and the next day i started passing tissue and had horrible cramps. i miscarried the 2nd day. then i had really bad cramps and bleeding/more tissue and clots for 2 more days, followed by what felt like a bad AF day for 2 more days. so, only 5 full days. "lucky" i guess... i hope it goes quickly and as smoothly as is possible in such a situation. take care. and come here to vent or cry or just get it all out (i know i did...)

I've had 2 mcs, baby measuring 6 w in both. The firat I spotted for 2 days, then slowly became heavier and then I passed the sac on day 4 and stopped bleeding 3 days later. This time I had brown tinged cm one day and then woke up the nexy day and felt a gush. Had crams and heavy bleeding for 24hrs before I passed the sac, so a lot faster than last time.

It took me 2 weeks of light bleeding to have the actual miscarriage - baby was 8 weeks 4 days. I found out at 12 weeks.

I've had some light bleeding today, and cramps, but not too much. I go on Wednesday to see the doctor. I may ask for pills to help it along; I can't take weeks of this.

I'm so sorry jtink, the waiting is the worst part. I even googled ways to speed up a miscarriage, but luckily didn't have to go there. I feel much better now that I've passed the sac, even though I'm still bleeding. I hope it happens soon for you xxx

Jtink. I'm so sad to see you here. X I'm thinking of you. I had brown spotting on Saturday, a but of red on Sunday, and today is the worst. Full force now.

With my first mc I had to have a d&c because it was missed. This time I had a d&c scheduled but I started miscarrying on my own he other day. Today is the worst. I hope your pills work if you decide to get them. I hope you're feeling better also. Feel free to msg me if you want to talk more

Heavy bleeding and cramping. Why doesn't anyone tell you how painful this is going to be?

Heavy bleeding and cramping. Why doesn't anyone tell you how painful this is going to be?

the pain was like contractions for me. they came in waves and would subside and then come again. bear down if it helps, but keep breathing. going to the bathroom seemed to help me, probably those muscles helped my body get it out...?

hang in there...it DOES get less painful.

 

[jtink28]

Same with me - sitting on the toilet always brought more gushes and clots. Almost positive I passed the sac. Very very awful, intense pain, and then I felt a pop, and a large egg-looking clot came out. It took me by surprise and I yelled. I felt instant relief from my pain. Still having bleeding and lighter cramps, but the agonizing pain is gone. I have a scan tomorrow, and hopefully all will be clear. Worst experience of my life.

 

[jtink28]

Sunshine, how are you feeling?

 

[sunshine2014]

Oh jtink i just saw your post from today. Today was my day as well I woke up at 2:30-5:30am with contractions. Then passed the sac and clots at 5:30. Instant relief all day. But now I'm having big clots again and lots of blood. I'm mot sure if that's normal and I'm kind of worried. Slight cramping still too, but only until I get rid of the clot

sunshine, that sounds pretty similar to my experience: i passed the baby on a monday and on tuesday i was still in pain and passing clots and had pretty steady bleeding. wednesday and thursday it was similar to a really bad AF day, and on friday i think i was very lightly spotting. it doesn't sound like something to worry too much about, but if you are bleeding more than before passing the baby, then maybe? i would say tylenol, a heating pad and bed for a day or two...?

 

[sunshine2014]

Thanks. I am bleeding more than before but when I passed it happened really quick. Not much bleeding until right before. Now it's about as much as then. Hmmm.

But yes heating and rest.

when i first started miscarrying, the urgent care told me that if it was more than a big pad an hour, to come back.

it sucks so much that we have to go through this at all. (i'm not a big fan of saying "i'm sorry" because when i was miscarrying, and even now sometimes, i wanted to cry and yell and scream to everyone, "all the sorrys in the world won't bring my baby back!" so, yeah...)

i will admit i have just had a big pity party for us... i wish there was something i could do from all the way across the internet. sending thoughts your way.

 

[sunshine2014]

Thank you . I know what you mean. Nothing will change the situation, we just have to truck through it. This pregnancy thing can be super difficult. But think of how tough we are now because of it.

I didn't go to the ER. I was able to stick it out at home. My Pulse dropped and DH monitored me a few times in the night. Bleeding seems to be a bit better. Fingers crossed all is okay. We're supposed to go 6 hours away tomorrow to somewhere in the states. Not sure if I'll be making that trip now lol.

 

[jtink28]

Feeling so so much better today. I'm on the train only way to my scan; hopefully will show that all has passed. My bleeding is much less, now like a period, and no clots. I feel "empty," which is good. I'm relieved this is just about over.

I'm glad you ladies are doing well too

 

[jtink28]

My scan today went well. All passed naturally, and the doctor said it looks like there isn't too much blood left either. I am relieved. We will start trying after my next AF. I am nervous to try again, but I know what is meant to happen will happen.

 

[jumpingo]

glad the scan went well jtink

i'm nervous to try again, too. mostly because 5 months of trying last time were such an emotional roller coaster and then once that ride is over, i will have some serious anxiety about miscarrying again. and yet at the same time, i am still so sad and just want to be pregnant. we are waiting until march to try again though, so still impatiently waiting.


how are you today sunshine??

 

[sunshine2014]

Sorry ladies. I had a tough few days. Almost ended up in ER twice. BUT I'm happy to say I feel better now. Still having mild cramps/contractions during the night but they go away on their own. Not much bleeding either. My scan is on Monday to see if all went well and I'm empty. Can't wait to try again either.

So happy I have you all for support
