Scared

[Purple Flower]

Hi,
I am new here, and have only just today plucked up the courage to come on here. I had a miscarrage at 5 weeks back in Jan of this year which came away naturally. I fell pregnant again quickly after this and was diagnosed last Thursday with a blighted ovum. I have decided to go for an EPRC on Friday and am just waiting to go today and have bloods done etc. I am really really scared and not sure I've made the right decision. Just wondering if anyone had any words of advice at all....

I hope it goes ok for you. Its good they are doing blood and hopefully another ultrasound to confirm. I don't have much more to add but *hugs* to you in this time.

Sorry to hear this purpleflower. I've just been though similar

Are you having another scan before the op?

so sorry to hear this hunni. like dan-o said are you having another scan before the op just to be sure? my 2nd angel passed away at 9 weeks and i opted for a erpc the day of the op i asked to be rescanned just to double check which confirmed she had.

i was petrified of having the erpc done but it wasnt as bad as i thought. i found it much easier having that done then going through a natural misscarriage (my 1st angel i lost at 8 weeks)

keep us update wont you hunni. x

i had a d&c 3 weeks ago today after we lost ours at about 6 weeks from a missed miscarriage. i had scan after scan to make sure we were doing the right thing. i think i made the right decision rather than going through a natural miscarriage. there isnt any physical pain afterwards really just slight period like pains but its all over with really quickly hope everything works out okay xx

I'm sorry for your loss. I had my ERPC last Friday and too was very scared prior to it. We had our first scan at 7 weeks which suggested there was a problem and had to wait until 9 weeks for it to be confirmed. The doc thought perhaps the baby had died at 5 weeks. I waited until 10 weeks and although I wanted a natural end but it just wasn't happening and went in for the ERPC. I'm glad now that I did as it was straight forward and so far the bleeding post-op has been minimal. I now feel that I can grieve properly.
Sending you hugs as you take the next step.

Thank you for all your replies, it's good to know that the fear isn't just me being silly! No I don't think I am going to have another scan, I have had two already one at 7.5 weeks and one at 8.5 weeks and there was really nothing there, and no change. Been to the hospital today and feel a bit happier about it all. They were really reasurring, and as everyone says it will be over quickly and the waiting for it to happen naturally is not a good thing, and it has to be easier than what I went through naturally the last time.
Finger crossed hey.....
