Hi still fertile , didn't want to read and run. The girls on here are brilliant support. I dont know what I would have done these past two weeks without this site. I'm going through same experience as u, me and new partner are really desperate to have a LO together but unfortunately I went for scan at 6 weeks and was told there was only sac and yolk, next scan 10 days later there was just sac.third scan everything stopped growing and sac was still empty. We were devastated. The wait and not knowing is awful.

now all I see is pregnant women and babies, I have two close friends who were due same week as me too so I'm finding that really difficult too. I should be 11 weeks now ;(

For my little angel it wasn't their time . The way I'm coping with this is by telling myself that it will only make my next angel that little bit more precious. I really hope your little bean has been hiding away and makes an appearance at your next scan. I'm not religious normally but between scans i prayed every day. My son has maths lessons in a church hall and I even went up to a cross and picture of Jesus and said a little prayer there whilst I was sat waiting for him. It's amazing how faith finds you in times of need.

I will keep fingers and toes crossed and say a little prayer that u have good news at your scan. If u don't get the result we all want for you i hope to see you and me and all other ladies pn here in same situation on first timster forum in next few months..big hugs

Thanks for the support everyone. The minutes tick by so slowly.....

I keep hearing stories about this happening to other people and all was fine, but there are the other stories as well.

I wish it were Thursday already!

Good luck tomorrow. Thinking of you.

Hi still fertile.

Me and my DF were in the same boat a week a go and had an ERPC/D&C a week ago. So heartbreaking

Hope it's good news for you. Thinking of you xx

 

[lindblum]

[sleeping bubs]

still fertile hope everything is ok

Had scan on wed and they didn't find anything in womb but took blood test to make sure hormone levels were down (incase implanted anywhere else) spoke to nurse yesterday and she said doctor wants another blood test done levels are low but wants to check again so got blood test this afternoon and going to have a chat with the nurse too to see if anything can help to prevent mc

 

[sleeping bubs]

oh dani rose I feel for you my last mc they took a month b4 I had my D&C

 

[StillFertile]

Not good news for us I'm sad to say. In the past week the gestational sac grew, but has become irregular. Still no sign of a fetus and due to a large posterior fibroid, my uterus is no longer retroverted. That was where my hope had been, but I should be 10 weeks today and it's just not possible to hope anymore.....

I have not yet decided if I will wait or do the pills. I am dead set against a D&C. I think I want to sleep on it and see how things progress. We are devastated.

Thanks for all the amazing support. I can't type much more as it makes me cry and I'm so tired of crying.......

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I was diagnosed on Monday. I choose to have natural mc and went home. By Tuesday night I was unsure how I would cope with that and booked in for a DnC. Early Wednesday morning the natural mc began and as I really didn't know what to expect re pain and visual and as we had a 13 month at home who wasn't sleeping very well it was hard for my husband to be with us both so we chose to leave her with relos and head to the hospital. For me the was little to no pain. I realise everyone's experience is different but maybe that will help you. There was quite alot of bleeding but being in the hospital we got the reassurance that that was natural and that it wasn't a haemorrage or anything so I could relax to some degree. Plus they gave me an ultrasound after certain symptoms and that confirmed it was over. That was reassuring as you are still bleeding but you can handle that once you know its over. There is no avoiding that it is a very emotional experience but being at the hospital and being able to leave the experience behind and come home to my home was the right decision for me. We were fortunate to have a private area where this all occurred and the staff were so fantastic. Thought I'd share my experience to give you some thought into what might be best for you but I recognise everyone is different and hospitals are set up differently. I hope its all over for you soon hon. xxxx

Oh, I'm so sorry! I really wanted to be updated with a miracle. As, I posted earlier in this thread I had a MMC a few weeks back.

I didn't have a choice for D&C or medical management. As my HCG was still rising, and I had another scan scheduled. But, I naturally MC first.

I was 9w3d when I MC naturally.

For me, I was packing a bag for DD, when I got really bad cramps. DH gave me some tylenol and I layed down. I had layed down for no more than 15 min, and when I stood up. I felt a gush and a clot the size of my fist passed. Then the pain died down, and about 2 hours later I passed another clot, half its size. A few hours later another smaller clot. Then from there it turned into a crampy achy AF, with small stringy clots. I had started spotting light pink blood, and mucus two days prior. It was on and off.

For me the emotional pain was so much worse than the physical. I suggest Midol, as that really helped me.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Do whatever you feel like doing! I hope the sun shines for you again soon.

Oh hun I'm so sorry! I was really holding out hope for you.

At this point it is really a personal choice for whether to use the pills or go natural. The pills will make it happen at a more expected moment though, and you still feel the same pain no matter which one you do.

So sorry, I hope you find peace in whichever option you go with.

 

[lindblum]

I'm so sorry for your loss x

 

[sapphire1]

I'm so sorry.

I had a mmc/blighted ovum in December. I had 4 weeks worth of scans before I was diagnosed. I felt like I had been waiting so long already, that I opted for the pills. My body was showing no signs of miscarrying naturally and I had read that it could take weeks in cases like that.

Big Good luck in wahtever you decide x x

 

[Apple111]

I'm so sorry for your loss, your experience is identical to mine I decided that I wanted to let nature take it's course if possible. I found out two weeks ago and I still am waiting for something to happen. I'm just thinking my body will let go when ready, although it is hard emotionally. I did go for scan yesterday and considered medical management but scan showed that things had started to break up and they said it was imminent so we decided that I would wait it out. I asked them to swab me to make sure I wasn't getting any infections. I am quite uncomfortable and got stabbing like pains around my cervix yesterday but things seem to have settled again annoyingly.

It is a big decision and you will make the right one for you . I just needed a bit if time to get my head around thing before I decided what I wanted to do. Take care xx
