stiiiiiill waiting... physical ideas to help things along?

[eme]

I am now almost 2 weeks past when we believe the babys heart stopped, 4.5 days since I stopped the progesterone suppositories and still nothing. Not a drop of spotting, no pink cm, no cramps, nothing.

Only sign of anything had been the fact that my boobs hurt less, nipples are still sensitive though. I've looked in previous threads and saw a bunch of teas suggested but we don't have any of them here at my local market. What else can I do?? I want to avoid a d&c at all possible and only have one week to do this naturally before my doctor wants me to look at medical management. Any suggestions?

I don't want to have sex yet in case my cervix is open, don't want to risk infection. But what about having an orgasm, exercise, massage pressure points?

As daft as it sounds I jumped up and down and it worked for me, I felt a fool doing it but two hours later my cramps got really painful and I passed everything.

I hope things hurry up for you xx

Are you opposed to both tablets and d&c? Because i had tablets and completely avoided a d&c xx

If I have to do a medical option, as long as my doc says yes thats the route I plan to use, I just really wanted to do this naturally but my body just isnt catching on!

Most people find the medical option okay actually, just painful cramps but pain relief manages them. I hope you manage to naturally lovely.

Honestly I just worry about uterine scarring...this is my 2nd miscarriage so I want to minimize giving my body reasons for miscarrying in the future, as weird as that might sound.

So this might be my most tmi post so far but.....after a long miserable day with a bad headache and nausea I decided to try making myself have an orgasm to see if it would cause cramping to help things along. As soon as I did I bursted into tears, saying sorry to my LO (as silly as that sounds)....I went to the toilet shortly after and finally.....FINALLY I have some brown spotting that was fairly significant.

Im very much hoping this is the start of things

My brown spotting started after an orgasm in sex that's why we got a scan in the first place. I hope things hurry along for you Hun xx

I've tried everything I can think of to get things moving along, including orgasm and jumping up and down (though not at the same time!!).
I'm going on a week since I got checked out for spotting and found out, and almost 6 weeks since the baby stopped developing! My dr wants me to go naturally, but I'm still only spotting, so I'm calling him tomorrow to ask about medical management. I would like the tablets though, not the D&C if I can avoid it.
As insensitive as it sounds, eme, I hope things get moving for you soon.

saying sorry to my LO (as silly as that sounds)....

Aw honey, I have been apologizing to mine for days. Not silly at all. I wish you the best possible outcome for you and your family in the days ahead.

I think lots of people find acupuncture helpful eme, if there is someone in your area you could try that? I hope it happens soon for you. Xxx

 

[eme]

Im glad that my body is showing SOME signs of progressing. The brownish spotting is continuing but not increasing...as long as its not stopping that works for me lol (for now) im staying patient for now. Might have to ask around to see if anyone has an acupuncturist they recommend

First let me say, I am sorry for your losses. Miscarriage is a terrible thing. I have a healthy 22 month old daughter, so I never thought it could happen to me. But none of us are immune to this sadness unfortunately.
I was diagnosed with a mmc at 8 weeks. The sac was measuring around 5 weeks. The doctor gave me the options to wait, take the pills, or do a dandc. I wanted to try to do it naturally. After about a week, I was feeling acceptance about the loss, but I was angry that my body would not let it go. Another week, and I started to get used to not being pregnant, but not not being pregnant. The only problem was I still felt pregnancy symptoms. After another week, I finally asked for the pill. I started bleeding the next day after I picked it up from the pharmacy. I didn't take it because I thought something was about to happen. Another week went by, and today the bleeding finally increased, large clots/sac passed. I'm almost giddy over it finally being over! It took 4 weeks, 7 since the baby stopped growing, but I'm still glad I did it naturally. I was too scared of the pain and side effects of medical intervention. I never even took an advil! I'm so glad it's over! And I pray none of us has to face this again! Oh and I swear by exercise, I think it really did help move things along.

How you doing eme?

Well, mine finally kicked in yesterday. After picking LO up from child care, we sat in front of the TV to relax. I suddenly had intense cramps, and felt like I was going to throw up. I ran to the bathroom, and found that my spotting finally turned into something more.
The cramps come and go, and can be severe at times, but I still only have a light flow. I'm hoping it gets heavier today, as I don't want to have medical management if I don't need it.
Eme, how are things coming along with you?

Slow!

I've started red bleeding/spotting...it's increasing a little, passed a very small amount of tissue late last night but not any major cramping or bleeding yet *sigh*. I have a lot of pressure on my cervix at different points of the day, almost like I want to push....and I have a few times but to no avail.

Two nights ago I had sharp stabbing pains in my right ovary that lasted about 1-2 minutes or so....felt VERY much like ovulation which really confused me. Is that even possible if I haven't passed the baby yet??? I'm flying to Texas tomorrow with my husband so he can meet my very elderly grandfather for the first time (it's about a 6hr total flight, split between 2 flights) so I'm hoping and praying that if anything big happens it does today or waits until I land in Texas.

Although, of course, as I'm typing this I'm getting some weird cramping but it comes and goes in waves. If nothing happens by Sunday when I get back home I'm going to call my Dr. office on Monday and request the suppositories. I just want this done with....but I'm not to a desperate state yet because I know that as of next week, this will be behind me, one way or the other.

You are being incredibly strong lovely

 

[curlykate]

eme. I know what you're going through.
My spotting lasted for a week and a half, coming and going. Same with the cramps. I'd get cramps and think "this is it" and then nothing. I just wanted it to be over. I was actually going to call the Drs office this morning and ask for medical management, when things started last night. I'm hoping this is as quick and painless as possible.
