Hi hun, sorry your going through this.
I had medical management 2 weeks ago at 11+2 (baby stopped growing at 7 weeks) It involves 2 trips to the hospital, 48 hours apart. The first visit you are given a oral tablet, and then return 2 days later for some vaginal tablets, and you will usually pass the pregnancy in hospital that day. My experience is as follows:
I went into hospital on the monday, and took one tablet orally. This blocks the progesterone which would maintain the pregnancy. I then had bloods taken to check what my blood group was incase a transfusion is needed. I saw a Dr who did my blood pressure etc. I then stayed about 30 mins to make sure I didnt be sick, and then went home. I was told that some women may miscarry after this tablet.
Tuesday evening I started bleeding, but it slowed down during the night.
I had to be at hospital for 9am on the wednesday, when we got there, I was shown to my room and had 4 tablets inserted vaginally. This is to make your uterus contract so you can pass the pregnancy. About an hour after the tablets I started to get some cramping which got much worse over the next hour. I had already had some strong co-codamol, but I also had a votorol suppository which I must say worked really well ( I definitely recommend them even though its not fun having it done!) The pain was pretty bad, much like contractions if you have ever experience them.
The bleeding also got a lot worse, and I needed to change my pad probably about every 40 mins. About 2 and a half hours after I had the tablets I stood up to go to the loo and as I did, I felt a strange sensation and knew what had happened. I had lost the sac. I went to the loo and it was in my knickers (sorry tmi) the complete sac with waters and contents still in tact. I didnt see any actual fetus as that part of the sac was covered in blood, which I'm grateful for. Hubby got the nurse who calmly took it away, as they will need to send it off to be tested. I also forgot to mention that there is a bed pan in the loo at all times, so they can monitor your loss, so dont be alarmed about that.
I felt instantly better after I passed the main part which was odd. During the next hour I had some moderate pains and quite heavy bleeding. But by 1:30 I was allowed home.
If you havent passed the sac 3 hours after the 1st tablets you will be given more to swallow.
The next few days I had some pain but nothing major painkillers couldnt help with, and fairly heavy bleeding with lots of quite large clots. I took the rest of the week off work while the bleeding was heavy to recover.
Its been 15 days now and although I am still having on and off bleeding I would say Im almost back to normal.
I hope I havent scared you, but I found it really helped knowing what to expect.
Really hope it all goes well for you, here if you need anything else
