Unfortunately, we find out yesterday or little one stopped growing 2 weeks ago and no longer has a heartbeat. So difficult at the 12 week mark when I should be shouting from the rooftops.
we’ve decided to go ahead with a surgical management so we can have genetic testing done too.
sorry to hear there have been other losses on here too.
thinking of you all

I’m so sorry to read this. It’s awful you are having to go through it. Sending lots of love & support 🩷

Hi everyone, bad news for us again unfortunately. I should be 8 weeks tomorrow and my scan today showed under 6 weeks measurements. They kept just saying it's too early to say and that I've to com3 back next week, but I am 100% sure of my dates, was tracking ovulation and got my positive test at 8DPO. I just feel numb now and I also feel ridiculoisly annoyed at my body for not just miscarrying properly, knowing I'll now have to go the route of medical or surgical management. This is my 4th time being pregnant in 12 months and we are just done. Sorry to bring bad news to this lovely group. Wishing you all the very best with your pregnancies and thanks for all the support along the way.

I’m so sorry - I only just came on here and saw this. That’s so heartbreaking I really am so sorry for this. Sending you all the love at the moment. Xxx

So sorry to hear this @ncl31 It's incredibly unfair and especially at this stage. I go back for my 2nd scan on Thursday but I don't have any hope, I was just hoping my miscarriage would start but no sign. I got surgical management previously and had a very positive experience (if it's possible to call it that). But it was good closure for me and I woke up feeling relieved. We also found out it was a genetic issue that time so it helped me process and have a reason. I was very emotional the days after which I wonder was it down to hormones, I took 2 weeks off work and felt I needed it. Thinking of you and I'm sorry this has happened xx

Hi @hopeB thanks so much for responding and your kind words. It's not the wrong thing to say at all and it's really nice of you to offer reassurance. Unfortunately at these early stages there are very set measurements for what size a fetus/sac etc should be at each week. The only possible hope she could offer would be that my dates are wrong and I'm only 6 weeks. Unfortunately this is impossible in my case as I would have gotten a positive test far too early for this to work. I have a repeat scan next week and then it'll be managing the next steps. Just heartbroken tonight. Thanks again for your reply x

I’m so sorry. I didn’t know 😔 it sucks so much that you have to wait another week for another scan. If you can, try to take care of yourself in the meantime and be kind to yourself 💕 I’m thinking of you xx

LuxyLocket · 28/02/2025 10:40

Oh @Summerrose24 ive just seen this and I am so so sorry to hear this my lovely. I can only imagine where you’re at right now. It is just heartbreaking and I found being in the ‘limbo’ of not knowing for sure is so hard and upsetting. It just takes over and is all you can think about.
I don’t want to be the person that gives you success stories or hope as that may not help right now, I do know a success story of a friend in the same situation you’re in,
there is always hope but as you say you knew your days and I totally understand you wanting to prepare yourself.
ill be thinking of you and if you feel you want to please let us know how you get on and I’m sending you all the love and strength and hugs possible 🤍🤍

Oh @Summerrose24, I’m so sorry.
I can’t imagine how you’re feeling right now 😔

I haven’t been in your situation, so I really do apologise if this is the wrong thing to ask, but are you sure you’re miscarrying?

could it be that your baby is on the small side? I really don’t want to upset you, so please feel free to ignore me if I’m speaking out of ignorance.

I am thinking of you though, and sending all the positive energy your way xx

Delighted to hear your update @LuxyLocket - hope you're keeping well. So nice to be on your anniversary too 💞

LuxyLocket · 19/02/2025 17:07

It’s so great to hear how you ladies are getting on as been thinking of you all. We had an early scan yesterday and measuring a week ahead at 9+1 when I thought I was 8 weeks. So very re assured about that. Not too long to wait til the 12 week scan on 17th March which coincidentally happens to be our first wedding anniversary. Sending love to all and everyone’s journeys 🩷

dev86 · 19/02/2025 14:07

Oh that is wonderful!!! You saw the legs kicking?? That’s amazing 🤩 So happy for you xx

Ncl31 · 19/02/2025 13:36

Just had a scan this morning at 9+4, little one was kicking their legs well and had a good strong heartbeat. Got my 12 week scan booked for 13th March.
glad to hear you’re doing well @dev86

Summerrose24 · 17/02/2025 23:49

So great to hear! Myst be amazing to see those heartbeats, so happy for you!💓 😍
All good with me, just kind of in the waiting time. I finally put away the tests after getting nice dark lines. Have a scan late next week and it's hard to believe it won't be another mmc but just going one day at a time. Willing it to just be good news for once. We are on holidays this week so looking forward to the distraction! Hope everyone is doing well 🤗

Thank you 🩷🩷🩷

Hope you have a lovely time away. We are away this week too.

Well done for walking away from the tests, it’s not easy done after loss! All the very best for your scan, let us know how you get on… one thing I read in the “pregnancy after loss” book and am trying to apply is to try and reframe the nerves (scanxiety) as excitement…? I’m working on it anyhow!!! 🙈

Xxx
