So this time I thought i'd made it as the sticks of doom clearblue digitals seemed to tick over well etc ...

Paid for early scan ( nearly 7 weeks) and there was NOTHING to see except some fluid filled mass ( assumed corpus luteum cyst but not sure??) on an ovary

Feel even more of a fraud as there is NOTHING not even an empty sac

Can't face HCG testing . Can't face hospital visits and lets 'rescan in one two three weeks' but am left really not knowing what is happening.

When i google it just pulls up ectopic which i know is a possibility and am aware of risks but don't think it is.

Feel exhausted and awful but am guessing wont even get a d and c as there's nothing there????? What can i do to stop the hormones and get a bleed?

GAalway girl thank you for thinking of me. Well today i went reluctantly for the final scan .

The sac was unchanged but as the hcg is still high and i am ten weeks now - i just cannot sit on it any longer. We went with a 'line' and stuck by it.

The midwife said she had never had it requested before but amazingly the registrar saw where we were coming from and said 'why not'

SO...if have taken the medically managed route - but i will NOT return to hospital for the pessary - instead going bak in a fortnight to chart the progress.

Feeling nervous but relief tonight. Feel fluey and achey and have done for days so 'hey' what's another miscarriage thrown in?? Hmm

I just want the chance to start over .

Thanks so much for looking after me during this horrid time.

xx

Sorry to hear it is confirmed as another miscarriage Sad, I am glad that the doc was ok with your decision as to how to handle it all. I hope that it happens quickly and easily for you(are these ever easy Confused?!, you know what I mean).

I hope that your family are looking after you too to help with the emotional side. Brew

Hi missed - I had the same thing with my last (4th) MC. Went for early scan, was not really expecting any problems, and then they couldn't see anything at all. My MC then happened naturally and it wasn't too terrible, really just like a heavy period.

Although awful, and depressing, I was heartily thankful that I didn't have to have a D&C. Reading your posts, I completely identify with a lot of what you're saying - the thought of the HCG tests, the repeat scans, the waiting a week...all of that is SO miserable - I have massive issues with even going into hospitals at all, these days, to be honest.

So...not sure what I am saying other than - sympathies - although I don't know you, I understand and I care.
