@ChloeN yeah just try and keep the edge pushed up as you gently tug it the other way, don't try and hold on to the edge that would be impossible up there 😂. Yeah, first few times I thought the tail was gonna ping off it had such good suction, now I try and push it out pelvic floor wise as well as pull on the dongle 😂😂😂. Things we do hey!!

@mummatara mine was the same. I'm sure he just assumed it was a normal period and just didn't get the pain I was in or the emotional side and asked why I was so upset. They just don't get it, but then how would they I guess. Don't take it personally, we all know what you're going through 😘 xx

@mummatara lol it is the weekend after all!! What do you mean he keeps forgetting?!! Like just pretending it’s not happening??

ChloeN · 08/10/2022 18:37

@FfayeN thank you!!!🙌 I don’t think I’ve ever felt mine really so similar to you! So hold like the outside rim bits with my finger?? I’ll give it another go tonight lol, it was quite hard to get out even though I didn’t get it in properly!

mummatara · 08/10/2022 18:37

Ladies I've drunk half a bottle of champers and I'm def very tipsy 🙈 also my DH keeps forgetting that I'm in the middle of bleeding what would have been our child and it's irritating the fuck out of me what is wrong with him 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

FfayeN · 08/10/2022 18:23

Just catching up with the posts. @Luna57 I really hope it's nothing to worry about, so lucky you have a scan tomorrow so they can hopefully appease your nerves and it's all ok 🙏🏼.

Ok @ChloeN here goes....I also can NEVER feel my cervix unless it's really low and only then just once before right before my period. Anyway, when you get it in as far as poss, try and keep one finger (or two if you can) on the edge of the cup bit, with the other hand pull on the 'tail'. It should stay in place as high as you can get it then. I feel contorted trying to get in a good position to do this, not in-front of DH too I might add 😂.
It gets easier with practice xxx

@thanks! Yeah pretty sure of my O day- both my temp and OKPs lined up. I wonder if that's what it is, or maybe a cyst bursting? It's gone now, so hopefully something to just forget about.

@theblueflowers thank you for that! Yeah they don’t look too dissimilar. I hope it’s going down🤞

@RaliaMusca well that sounds bloody delicious

RaliaMusca · 08/10/2022 14:40

Thanks @HalWin2221 . I still have the hope that the bleeding (this one and last week's) has something to do with the fact that I had surgical management of my MC only two weeks before I got pregnant again. On the other hand my realistic brain is telling me to be prepared for bad news in the next few days.

At least I have a fun few days coming up. It's my DD's fourth birthday on Tuesday and we're having a party for her tomorrow. Currently making a "chocolate brownie banana cake" as per her brief.

HalWin2221 · 08/10/2022 14:35

@theblueflowers are you sure on your O day? Sometimes the rupture of the follicle can cause some brown/pink bleeding? Not sure how many days past O day it can happen tho?

@RaliaMusca hope you’re okay! I’m going with the saying ‘no news is good news’ keeping everything crossed for you x

bunnykins123 · 08/10/2022 14:21

@LuckyMoonstone here you go!

Haven't heard back about my blood test results yet. The said they'd call me last night or this morning at the latest. But nothing so far. I rang them earlier and the doctor was "unavailable".
My bleeding has nearly stopped again, just some brown spotting when I wipe and a bit of dark red in my pad earlier but not much at all.
No cramps anymore either. Not sure if I've already passed it all or if it was a random benign bleed again. But the dark red blood and clots yesterday, even though very short-lived, looked quite final.

theblueflowers · 08/10/2022 12:54

@Luna57 I'm so sorry. I know right now your mind must be all over the place. Really hope time goes quickly for you and you get the answers you need tomorrow x

@LuckyMoonstone
I just tried to find a pic of one of my tests, but I think I just deleted everything when it was all going on. My last blood draw was 36 and it was still visible on that same test-very close to yours I think, so to me it looks like it's going in the 'right' direction. It took another two weeks for mine to leave my system, I really hope yours is quicker!

So I'm 5dpo today and I'm spotting- WTF?! I'm not thinking it's implantation bleeding or anything. Definitely sure of my dates as I temp, but very confused! It's very very light, but definitely there.

lovenaps · 08/10/2022 11:50

@Luna57 so sorry ❤😞

mummatara · 08/10/2022 11:18

@Indianna2006 😂 my auto correct makes some questionable word choices too 🤦🏼‍♀️ I think they meant ring 3 weeks after the MC starts or ends I'm not sure which really but I'm guessing ends. it will be 2 weeks Tuesday since I last saw them. I'm not worried as I do feel perfectly fine in myself it just feels like a normal period with a bit more cramping than I'm used to it just seems so odd.

@ChloeN thanks lovely it's really interesting seeing how different everyone's experience is. Guess I just have to wait it out

ChloeN · 08/10/2022 10:42

@mummatara my mmc bleeding was quite light I’d say, literally like a a period then one day the tissue come out with a couple of clots then that was it. Mine had grown to 7 weeks so I expected more tissue and blood but when I went to the scan it had all gone. It’s so weird how different people bleed different amounts

Indianna2006 · 08/10/2022 10:40

Clearly I can’t type **sac not dad 🙈🙈

Indianna2006 · 08/10/2022 10:39

@mummatara okay I just looked up my details and my dad measured about 24mm at about 7 weeks. But the fetus was measuring 6 inside. My dad had them shrunk over the course of a week as well and began to break down. So had the fetus tbh.
but yeh I still got a lot. And what I would call actually tissue and products. I never actually looked. But you could hear it sounded like fish guts going into the toilet. Sorry graphic I know.
but I do think medical tablets can make you bleed more. But that same amount of product would of still needed to come out I imagine. Couldn’t believe how much it seems like for so early tbh. As my other loss I was measuring 13 weeks but I actually had to push the sac out for that. So bit different.

how long has it been now seen you seen EPu? Did they mean ring 3 weeks after you mc or 3 weeks after they’d seen you? Maybe wait out few more days. Do you feel well?
after I’d done my tablets. I still didn’t feel quite right in that area. Like when I laughed or cough I would get an uncomfy pain in my uterus cervix area. An it’s cos I had retained tissue. I could tell it wasn’t right an over if that makes sense.

mummatara · 08/10/2022 10:25

@Indianna2006 they didn't say how many weeks it measured but at last scan it was 21mm which is what it was the week before. Though at my private scan they measured it as 30mm so it obv had shrunk. There was no yolk sac or baby seen at all it's always just been a gestational sac. No they just told me to ring in 3 weeks if I'm still testing positive. It's so hard to know because obv 21mm isn't big but I would of thought even if it had broken down I would still see clots or something this is just a normal period bleed so far

Luna57 · 08/10/2022 10:22

@LuckyMoonstone that line looks like it’s maybe a 10dpo. That’s how faint my line got on those tests before mc

Luna57 · 08/10/2022 10:19

@Mariabombia i don’t think they’d see me today, I’d just like to rest today and then go tomorrow to see what the craic is. I’m hoping it’s a wee benign bleed. I’ve now tinted cm it’s not the scary red bleed anymore I’m too scared to test incase it’s faint and then I’ll def know what’s coming next. I never even had any bleeding or anything with ds you’d think my uterus would know the score as it’s done it before so will stretch with ease instead of bleeding and putting the fear into me

LuckyMoonstone · 08/10/2022 10:17

@bunnykins123 yeah I let it dry. Yeah I’ll have a look if you don’t mind.
Remember guys we want the tests to be lighter not darker, we are very anti hcg in this strange case 🤣

Indianna2006 · 08/10/2022 10:11

@Luna57 oh no sorry to hear that. Any bright red bleeding is just not what you wanna see is it. It could still all be fine though hun. What happened with your loss was that spontaneous. If so progesterone possibly worth a go. Good job your being seen tomorrow as it is

@mummatara oh hun bless you. Frustrating isn’t it. It’s hard to know isn’t it. As ppl seem different. Was yours about an empty sac measuring 6 weeks ish. I measured about 6 weeks. But obv it had the baby in. But I mean I bled a lot but it was medically managed so you can bleed more with that. But I mean I was like flooding maxi pads. Every hours. I couldn’t believe I still had retained tissue after how much I’d lost. But we’re all different. Do you have any sort of follow up scan for them to conclude?

@LuckyMoonstone no idea on those easy @ home tests as I’ve never used tbem. So don’t know how dark they go quickly. Normally cheap ICs takes ages to go dark. But there all diff aren’t they. So can’t be much use to you there sorry.

calimc83 · 08/10/2022 10:10

@Luna57 oh gosh lovely. What a stress. Thinking of you xxx

Mariabombia · 08/10/2022 09:44

Oh no @Luna57 , praying everything's okay for you love! Are you going to call epu and ask to be seen today? If you've not got any pain that's a good sign xx

mummatara · 08/10/2022 09:33

@MrsCristianoX yes I take R- lipoic acid and so does DH

@Luna57 big hugs lovely 💕 I hope it turns out to be nothing for you could just be a clot?

@bunnykins123 honestly they have been fine I haven't even taken any pain killers. I'm still yet to pass any tissue and bleeding has practically stopped since yesterday afternoon 🤦🏼‍♀️ if it doesn't get heavier again in a few days I might ring the EPU and see what they have to say. I was wondering if it might get reabsorbed but I honestly don't know if it would since it carried on growing until about 9 weeks I reckon. The scan I had at 10 and 11 weeks it wasn't growing anymore so that's probably a significant amount of tissue 🤷🏼‍♀️
