Started medical management today

[golcarlilly]

Hi I am new here, just looking for some support and advice really, I started medical management of my miscarriage this afternoon, I had some bleeding last week and a lot on Saturday and have had two scans which have shown I have started to miscarry, they think I had a blighted ovum and maybe it was a twin pregnancy but they could not be sure, I lost the second sac between the first and second scans and the other one has shrunk. Anyway to cut a long story short they told me the options and I have decided this is the best way for me.

I went to have an oral tablet today and have to go into hospital for the day on Saturday, I am very scared and feeling really depressed, my hubby has been off work with me (he works for his Dad so no problem) and he has been really good I just feel so fed up

Sorry for going on and hope that all made sense!?

You sound the same as what has happened to me the past month as ive have a blighted ovum but had to take the cyotec tablet at nearly 13 weeks and then had a d & C but it didnt work and then i had to take more cyotec. Im not sure if its the same tablet as you but it was far better than what i had read and i just got light cramps.

Please feel free to read my posts as u will c how i felt and now how i feel now.

It will get better(i didnt think so at the time) but it just takes time

Time heals all wounds my dear. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you are going through at this tough time - my prayers are with you and your OH.

Oh, bunny, its never easy but you will get through this, i promise you. I had a mc feb 22 and i honestly feel pretty normal now.

My best advice would be to listen to your body and heart and do what feels best for you, now and later.

So sorry for your loss, sweetie!!

Hi,

So sorry for your loss

I had a Missed M/C five weeks ago and went for the Medical Management aswell, so I know how you feel right now.

I was completely scared, but the nurses seem to really look after you as they know what you are going through.

I had to stay in hospital all day, but hubbie was with me which was good and we had our own room, so it was really private.

PM if you would like to chat - Im here

I am back home now following stage two of my medical management, have to say it has not been the best experience of my life!

I got to the hospital at just after nine and was put in a private room with it's own bathroom, the nurse came and put in four pessaries to start off my contractions which started to work after around an hour, I started bleeding about an hour later and have passed lots of clots around 2cm in diameter (sorry tmi) I have pains similar to labour - bad backache and low down cramping and every time I stand up get a gush of blood - not nice! they checked what I had passed and seems like the sac has not yet gone so I am still waiting! I had some tablets to continue the treatment at 3.30 this afternoon and decided I would be better at home, so here I am, feeling very sorry for myself but hoping it will all soon be over! I have to take a preg test in 3 weeks time which will hopefully be negative or else I have to go for another scan and prob d&c

When I passed the first big clot I was sure it was the sac but seems not, it was so upsetting, made it seem real and brought home that my pregnancy is really over feel so bad for my hubby too, he has been so strong for me but I know this is killing him, especially cos he can't help it all to be over!

Sorry for major whinge!!

How awful for you both! I hope you are ok soon! Sending you big

Don't feel bad about whinging, you are not. Its a horrible time but you will get through it. I have had 9 miscarriages, chose natural rather than medical management. Give each other lots of hugs, know my hubby found it hard to know what to do or say.
