Had out first IVF/ICSI at end Nov and had a BFP on 14 Dec but at first scan on 3rd Jan all they could see was an empty sac. Was devastated and have spent last 10 days coming to terms with it all. Having stopped the progesterone pessaries that were prescribed post IVF I expected I may start to bleed and have been waiting for the last 12 days. But no bleeding and no pain.
Went to EPAU yesterday and in rescan sac is not empty but contains small yolk sac and possible 2mm fetal pole, no heartbeat. I am not reassured by this as should be 9 weeks pregnant yesterday and it is obvious to me that the pregancy isn't viable. However they want me to have a rescan in 7-10 days to check nothing has developed and as my previous scan was at ivf clinic I think they need 2 to compare. They can't offer medical/surgical management until they have done this.
I feel I have done my crying and just want the bleeding etc to be over but nothing is happening.
How have others coped with waiting to miscarry after mmc? How long did you have to wait? Did you go back to work whilst waiting?
Have already been off work for almost 2 weeks and would be ready to go back emotionally but dread the thought of starting to bleed at work. Any help/stories appreciated.
