Just looking for anybody who’s been through it or going through it please 🤍

hiya, so I went for an early scan with the epu. At what I thought was 6 weeks 5 days, nothing could be seen just a sac. No yolk, no fetal pole. Had bloods done on Friday and again Monday. The levels only went up 49% 20600 to 30801. She said with levels so high they’d of expected to see a pregnancy on my scan, So they’ve told me it’s highly likely a miscarriage and I need to go in Friday for a scan to go through what we do next. I’m absolutely gutted as this was our rainbow. But I don’t understand why I still feel pregnant. I threw up this morning. I’ve been peeing all night…dreaming like crazy. I’ve now got a cold. Is this the cruel side of Mother Nature like she said on the phone where you still have all the pregnancy symptoms and not actually be pregnant anymore? It’s messing with my head to be honest. Thanks for reading x

I’m sorry, I’ve had quite a few miscarriages. Unfortunately the pregnancy hormones stay in your system for a while, so still get the resulting symptoms. Look after yourself, it’s a horrible time. I hope things are dragged out too long, I found that the worst part.

It’s crazy because I’ve only just started being sick today. It’s like my symptoms are ramping up and I just don’t understand why x

If your hormone levels are very high (and still increasing) then your body thinks you are pregnant so symptoms will still be there and yes unfortunately still getting worse. Your body doesn’t know there is just a sac and nothing else. It thinks you are properly pregnant sadly.

I’ve had a few miscarriages now. One was a MMC and a scan at 8 weeks showed a sac measuring 5 weeks only. In the 2 weeks waiting for surgery my symptoms got worse and I started getting nausea etc. I was getting positive pregnancy tests for almost 5 weeks after the surgery so my hormones must have been very high.

The other MMC I had was IVF and at my early scan at the clinic I was 7 weeks and again just a sac. I was told to stop all meds and hopefully I would miscarry naturally. In the week waiting to see again my nausea started while waiting etc. But thankfully for that one after just over a week I miscarried naturally and didn’t need surgery.

My other (natural) miscarriages happened before being scanned so was very early and I didn’t have a huge amount of symptoms with those. I’m guessing because I never got past 6 weeks and my body had recognised those and my hormones never got as high.

It’s such a horrible process 😩 so sorry for what you went through x

Hi OP, unfortunately I know exactly how you feel. You are not alone. I have had 4 consecutive miscarriages. 2 of them was MMC. I have no children. But you have to keep going and keep strong. 💪

So sorry 😩 I’m holding on to some glimmer of hope that it’ll be ok but I know that’s unlikely x

You do right still holding on to hope. But best advise I can give is also just prepare that it could be bad news. Try be kind to yourself. I really hope all is ok for you x
