Hi all,
I had a MMC last year. Found out at 12 week scan on 1 Nov that there was no heartbeat. Was devestated. I then had a medical m/c which I was not prepared for at all. started bleeding 3 hours after the tablets - severe pain and bleeding and lost a lot of solid material. The bleeding continued and then 2 days later severe pain again and lost the placenta. Then 3 days after that lost the gestational sac. Don't even know how this was possible after everthing I lost on the first day. I then continued to bleed - heavily and constantly. after 3 weeks I contacted the hospital, went in for scan and there were still 'products' (as they kindly put it) remaining. This continued for another 2 weeks and I was then put through the medical miscarriage again. This time nothing - but still constantly bleeding. They then decided they didn't know what to do with me so booked me in for a surgical (not D&C, but can't remember the other one, begins with E...) I wasn't happy with this so went private. It turned out that I had a polyp and this was removed. They don't know whether this caused the miscarriage or the excessive bleeding (had heavy bleeding for 7 weeks in total). Eventualy the bleeding slowed and then stoped just before Christmas. I then had my first period (which I was told to expect as the consultant that did a private ultrasound tole me when it would occur by looking at my ovaries (- clever stuff!) on 31 Dec 2010. The whole experience was horrific and I think I've deal with it as best as I can and am now just trying to look to the future.
Since then we have worked on the fact that I will be ovulating and have been ttc. I did want to use ovulation tests, but just didn't have the energy this time so I'm not sure exactly when I ovulated, but working on last Thurs/Fri. We did catch first time last time (very lucky I know) so I'm really hoping that it will happen again. But it's all I can think of now. It's not helped that a colleague has just told me that she is pregnant and my best friend has just told me (and it was an accident). I have the tests ready and I just want to start taking them now. I'm not due on my period until 28 Jan so I know it is far too early, but I just can't wait until next week. I know that there is no way I will make it until the day my period is due! I had some really thick and creamy cm today, so I've spent the last hour trying to research if that tells me anything - any ideas? I think I am going to go mad before next week and how I will get through the following month if we are not lucky this month I do not know.
Sorry for rambling on and thank you for reading. I used this forum in the first week of my MMC and it was so supportive and helpful. After that I just couldn't face anything and haven't been able to be back on until now. But glad I have ome back as I know it will be so helpful to chat with people in the same situation.
thank you and big hugs to all xxx
