Medical management has not worked

[Sophie2000]

Hi,
I went for my twelve week scan last week to discover I had lost the baby at around 7 weeks. It was a shock as I hadn't experienced any pains bleeding prior to that.
Anyway I chose the medical method to remove the fetes and took the first pill that day. I then returned to hospital two days latter for the vaginal pessseries and the oral tablets.
Anyway I experienced some bleeding few cramps and a few clots came out but not the fetus.
Yesterday I returned to hospital where they gave me more vaginal pills but again nothing has happened. I am really scared about surgery to have this removed and am booked in for this tomorrow.
Has anyone else experienced this or know of any other way other than surgery this can be removed.
Thanks

Hi im really sorry to hear of your loss I had the same experience in terms of no pain or bleeding but at my scan I was told my baby had no heartbeat :*( initially I didn't want the erpc as I was hoping a miracle would happen as I couldn't understand why I'd experienced any problems but in the end after a 2nd scan I realised I needed to have erpc so I could move on and hopefully try again. I hated the thought of it taking weeks. I was scared especially them reading the risks but the procedure for me was trouble free and pain free and the nurse was great . It helped me move forward quicker though now desperate to be pg again... I don't know of any options just know that it was best for me. Hope you find the right answer for you xx

My story is very similar to yours. I went for a 12 week scan and the baby had died 5 weeks earlier. I didn't have cramping, bleeding, nothing. I went for the pills too and a lot came out but not everything so I had to do the surgery anyway. I was terrified and angry. But it went well. And I felt a lot better afterwards. Fingers crossed for you!!

I opted for the surgery straight away, same day, all of the staff made it very comfortable for me and my DH, it gave us immediate closure on the situation so we could concentrate on grieving and moving forward from our loss.
It may be the best option in the end for you, but my thoughts are with you however it goes.

Thankyou all for your replies. I had another scan today and nothing at all has passed. I have been told that I can have surgery tomorrow morning. I would never go through the medical route again (mind you let's hope I never am in this situation again and next time all will be ok) The past two weeks have been so traumatic I just hope that this time tomorrow we can finally put this behind us and start to move on
