I had a scan last Wednesday, when I would have been just into my eighth week of pregnancy (about five and a half weeks since dtd). The midwife took a long time finding the sac with the standard u/s so asked me to go for a wee and have an internal. On the internal she initially thought the sac was empty but eventually found the baby hiding away somewhere in the back. She then said there was no heartbeat, though the sac size and baby size were all consistent with my dates so it was likely a very recent miscarriage.
I've had some on/off cramps but I've had those for several weeks and I thought it was perhaps "rounding" (if I've got that term right?) pain - it is my first pregnancy.
It's strange because I don't really feel unpregnant - that might sound silly I guess, but I've still felt the need to be more industrious around the house, still can't stand coffee after my morning wake up cup, and still have very sore boobs, this last part evidenced when one of my lovely little dogs decided to stamp on one of them this morning and I awoke with a squawk that probably started dp and dog more than me. Of course, this could all just be remaining hormones.
Anyway, I haven't bled at all, my cervix is still quite high, firm and closed. The hospital told me to get in touch with them in three weeks if I hadn't started bleeding. That still feels like such a long time off. We weren't 100% decided on continuing the pregnancy but as soon as we started the scan we knew we wouldn't be terminating. Perhaps this is one of life's less fun ironies.
I wondered if anyone could share if they've not bled following being told they had a miscarriage and what happened? No one I know has had a miscarriage (two of my sisters have a collective nine children between them!) and I don't really have anyone I can talk to about it.
