Hi all,
Sadly found out today I have suffered an early miscarriage at 5.5 weeks. I know it is early but I just feel so heartbroken. Me and husband had been trying for #1 for 2 years and this was our first round on Clomid and we finally got our BFP.
I started bleeding heavily in work this morning so left and went to our early pregnancy unit. They did a scan and confirmed miscarriage. I was heartbroken and only now just realised so many questions I didn’t ask when told this news. Since then bleeding has got heavier and I have bad cramping.
My questions are:
- how long should I expect to bleed for? I read not to wear a tampon and just pads- is this correct?
- I had my first midwife appointment next week, I will ring to cancel this now but should I get the GP to register the MC on my notes? The nurse at the EPU said they would inform the fertility clinic of this but that is separate from my GP.
- how long did you have off before returning to work? I have a stressful job and feel bad leaving colleagues with extra workload but don’t feel I can go back tomorrow, I keep breaking down in flood of tears.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks you! X
