In painful limbo- MMC vs misdiagnosed miscarriage UPDATE: Missed miscarriage :(

[Mypreciouskid]

My heart is with you. I feel that deep pain you're feeling. It hurts so much, you just feel like exploding! I've had 2 recent scans...and no heartbeat. I had one last night, and I'm supposed to go back tomorrow. I feel like curling up in a ball and crying my heart out. Hugs!!!!

I had scan on tues they found nothing on scan so had blood test to check hgc levels and had another one yesterday and got a phone call this afternoon levels r now 4.7 so they have discharged me so luckily i mc naturally since i was about 4-5wks when happened i have previously had medical managed in oct 08 and d&c in may 2011. Hoping for a successful pg nxt time if not will have had 3mc in a row then they will do some tests.

Thanks everyone. So many sad stories here. My heart goes out to everyone with a loss. Of course I knew people who had miscarried prior to this, but I honestly never realised the depth of the pain.

I've been trying to stay busy since Thursday. Sometimes it works. But I am still not bleeding or cramping. I have had some beige spotting but it's not progressing and I am frustrated.

I am seeing my GP tomorrow and I know he will sign me off work for a bit longer, but how long can I expect them to wait before it just looks like I am a lazy cow? I had already been signed off for 4 weeks due to fatigue/morning sickness. I feel like a fraud.

I have tried telling my body to let go and release this failed pregnancy. I have tried imagining my uterus opening up and cleansing itself. No joy.

I really really really do not want to take the pills the NHS offer (mifepristone/misoprostol) nor do I want a D&C. We conceived naturally, why can't it end that way too?

I don't know. There can be no closure without the physical miscarriage. I am scheduled to go back to the EPU on Thursday again. I am hoping my body takes the hint and gives up before then.

Hugs everyone!

oh hon so sorry that it is taking so long. especially since you don't want any management and feel the natural course is the best.

don't stress yourself additionally by thinking you're a fraud at work. if they knew what you were going through nobody would think you are, not for a second. especially those who already went through the same - there's a whole different understanding among us.

i hope your body wakes up and manages to let go before the EPU. sending you love &

While waiting for my natural m/c I took teas four times a day with a blend of tinctures in them. I took 30 drops each of dong quai, black cohosh, and blue cohosh. I don't know if it helped, but I know they are all uterine stimulants/cervical stimulants so I figured it couldn't have hurt any either.
