Hi Ladies
Hope everyone is ok.
I am feeling fine now but Wednesday was pretty rough going and not a nice thing to go through at all. I went in at 11.30am, had the first lot of pessaries inserted at 12.15pm (this was nothing, didn't hurt at all). But I ended up having to have the maximum 5 doses of the treatment so had further doses by mouth at 3.15pm, 6.15pm, 9.15pm and 12.15am.
After the pessaries, I had to stay lying down for an hour to allow them to dissolve and start working. I started with period-like pain within about 25 minutes of having them put in and was bleeding by around 2pm. The next few hours, between 2-5pm or so, were the worst. The pains were constant and quite strong, not excruciating pain but just very wearing and were getting me down, so I did end up having some painkillers (cocodemol or something) around 4pm. I also had two episodes of horrid diarhhoea and was then also sick not long after having the painkillers (I think being sick may well have been a reaction to the painkillers
) Pains then eased a lot by the evening. Then at 10.30pm, I went to the loo (had to wee in cardboard pans every time) and passed the entire pregnancy sac!! There was no pain with this and very little bleeding but the size of the sac amazed me - it was about 3 inches long by 2 inches and quite thick too. Kidney shaped and fleshy coloured. It is clear that this had kept on growing and was probably the size of a 12-13 week pregnancy, it is just that the
stopped growing very early
. I couldn't see the baby at all as the sac wasn't really transparent, plus embryo would have been very tiny. I immediately felt tons better after passing this physically and also it was huge relief psychologically, as it was obvious what it was and that my body had definitely expelled the majority of what it needed to. They later confirmed it was the entire gestational sac but still gave me the 12.15am meds as they were not sure I had passed all the placental tissue. Consequently I did have to stay overnight and I did notice that I passed some clots of tissue through the night, which I am hoping was the placenta coming away, but they are still not sure if I have passed everything. However, they let me home around 11.30am yesterday morning as I felt ok, bleeding was (and still is) just like a period and I now have hardly any pain, just odd little twinges every now and again.
So it is now just a case of seeing how I go - I am to contact them if my bleeding gets heavy, if I pass any large clots or if I get any bad pain. I am hoping that my body has passed all the pregnancy tissue and that my bleeding will now just be like a period that gradually eases off. I have a follow-up scan booked on Monday 9th May to check my womb is empty.
I am feeling ok girls, just feel like I'm on a period now. I have been surprised so far at how little bleeding I have had, this has never been heavy, just like a period so far. Just hoping all has come out and it will just gradually ease off now. Emotionally too I feel fine. Obviously sad how this turned out and that we have lost our
, but seeing the sac proved I was indeed pregnant and I was amazed at what my body had created, even though it didn't turn out as we'd hoped. To me this has proved that my body can do it and gives me hope that it will do so again, hopefully next time we will be successful
So we are both feeling very positive and intend to try again as soon as possible
Hope everyone else is ok. Stina, sorry to hear your scan wasn't as you'd hoped but please try not to worry. I am sure
is still strong enough even if a little small and may well turn around to be head down yet.
Thanks for all your support ladies and speak again soon

It's good that they're keeping a close eye on things for you though. Keep us posted!
I bled like a period Thursday/Friday but then from Saturday it has all but stopped for most of the time (just spotting and pretty much only when I wipe) except for Saturday evening and last night, where it seemed to start up again with proper red bleeding and a few accompanying pains. But both of these instances have only lasted the evenings and then slowed right down again overnight (hardly had anything all day today again). Just hoping I don't have too many more of these 'spurts' now and it eases off and my scan on Monday shows all has gone 
). I was quite nervous about announcing a pregnancy to them as I've only been there since November.
I went to breakfast when that happened.
