This morning I woke up to bleeding - bright red with small clots. I called my doctor and they had me come in for an ultrasound. I was supposed to be 10+5 but baby was only measuring 9 weeks with no heartbeat. I am absolutely devastated as this was supposed to be mine and my husband's rainbow baby after two early miscarriages earlier this year. We were so hopeful because We had an ultrasound 3 weeks ago where we saw baby and its little heartbeat. Now it's all over.
Unfortunately, I didn't get much of a chance to discuss the whole process with my doctor since it was an emergency appointment. He agreed to let me try to complete the miscarriage at home (this was my preference) and we will recheck in a week. If not everything has passed, I'll have a D&C performed. If everything has passed, I'll just get blood tests to make sure HCG returns to zero.
But I really have no idea what to expect in terms of how everything is supposed to go. Obviously, I've already started bleeding and the bleeding has been consistent, although light it's still definitely more than spotting. And it seems to be getting slightly heavier as the day wears on. I haven't had much in the way of cramps, but I have been having minor cramps for a week so that's already started I guess.
I don't know what to expect in terms of how long it should all take, what kind of pain I'll experience, and if I'm even right in thinking that my body is on it's way to doing this itself. Can anyone help?
I really just want this nightmare to be over.
