Pretty sure I have lost my baby tonight and I want to get some pregnancy test to check hcg going so I know where I am and when I can ttc again I will have a stash but which ones are the best should I get ones that can pick up low hcg levels so I know when hcg is under 10 thinking I will buy in bulk have a feeling I will be testing a lot for reassurance

I'm so sorry, Celtic. MC is so hard. I'm sorry you're going through it right now.

Are you thinking of buying internet cheapies or actual tests? I get positives on ICs before I do on FRERs, so I find them to be a good option for testing and testing frequently. But, I'm not sure about their actual sensitivity...

It has been a strange day all right I feel weird hard to adjust from being pregnant to not talking about it helps

On test I was thinking internet ones I was looking on amazon but there is so many

Are you in the UK or the US? I think what you can get in either place is different.

I've gotten cheapies from both countries. I've heard Wondfo is good in the US but I haven't tried them. I've just got a bunch from Clinical Guard and the opks were good. I haven't tried any of the pregnancy tests yet though...I think they're 25 mlU though, so not as sensitive.

I used to get my UK tests from Home Health Ltd UK and they were really good for testing, I think they were 10 mlU.

thanks Ladies! The cramping, and contraction like feelings really strong last night and this morning. So I'm hoping to finally be done in the next few days. Been bleeding since the 23rd or so technically so it's taking quite a while! I will take your advice and dtd as much as possible lol. It feels like forever since we've done it

Good luck ladies!! Hopefully we all have our rainbow babies soon!

Hello! May I join? I had an ectopic in June of 2014, and then a MC at 5-6 weeks in October. It was very early.

 

[wantingagirl]

I don't think I need to hear the results today as predicted I think it's going to happen today. I just had a gush of red blood no clots yet but a gush all the same. I'm scared of the pain and if I will see anything that remotely looks like baby I've never been this far along I would be 9 weeks on Friday xx

 

[laurac1988]

sorry niamh and WAG. MC is horrid.
All I did with mine (I was nearly 8 weeks) was get a hot water bottle and the strongest painkillers that I could get my hands on - first naproxen then dr provided stronger cocodamol. You can take naproxen with cocodamol as well. The two together made it bearable. I just set up shop on the loo with some books, hot water bottle and some lucozade and waited it out.
It sucks, but it will all be ok in the end. I promise xxxx

But also remember that if the pain gets unbearable or youre soaking through a pad in half an hour, go to the hospital. Or call nhs111 for advice.

I was 9 weeks Saturday, I passed big clots straight away with bright red blood when it started and the cramping was very like mild contractions some were very sharp but I had taken some pain relief think that took the edge off, I read that the body forms a clot around the baby to help it pass and I am sure that's what happened in my cases I stood up to go to the loo as there was a lot coming out and felt something big there I had to push a little it was a huge clot, I am fairly sure it was baby hubby and I were to chicken to check I had to hop in the shower he cleaned up thankfully bleeding slowed down sorry for tmi hope it does not upset anyone

Oh my gosh that's awful I'd be too scared too that's what I'm fearing and I'm on my own today i just need to know now. I'm waiting for the midwife to call back after speaking to my consultant I'm hoping to get a scan soon. I can't see there being a good outcome xxx

Thank you Laura it is so sad huh but agree we get through it as I guess we have no other choice and as hard as it is for me to say its true time definitely is a healer xxx

 

[laurac1988]

it is awful and no woman should have to go through it. But we do. And we carry on.

my mc was much the same Niamh, although the pain didn't let up for me once I passed what I think was a the baby. It went on for a few days in the end but intermittently, and then stopped when I passed what to me looked like a placenta... but it was way too big for eight weeks so It was probably just some lining or something.

sending hugs x

 

[laurac1988]

I would have had no idea what to expect if I hadn't have spoken to some of the ladies here and read their stories. That made it a LOT easier. Still horrific, but easier because I had some idea

 

[CelticNiamh]

Thanks Laura I had more pain this morning but it stopped after I passed another big clot I took two paracetamol as well so that could also be helping only they are crappy ones I have to agree as well coming in here and knowing what to expect helped, I was scared of what to expect as I am further along this time and saw a baby on the scan , last time it was an empty sac but strangely more painful but they only lasted an hour ! were as it was a couple of hours yesterday

my tummy is so bloated today as well or I have put on weight

feel a little lost today, feel a little scared about tcc again and same thing happening

 

[wantingagirl]

Niamh I hear you on that one for me tho with my loss in 2010 the only thing that kept me going was TTC again. I lost at 5+6 so way further along this time and I have seen the heartbeat twice now. This to me makes it feel that much harder for me and I am very scared about how the baby will pass I wish the midwife would just phone me already! I can feel the top of the fundus out of my pubic bone I guess that's normal at this point xx

yep esp as not your first pregnancy no chance it is a clot in the womb near the baby maybe that can cause bleeding a lot of it I think
