Right, where to start...
I was 10 weeks preg when I bled a little after sex, so next morning I rang docs and they referred me to the Epu for a scan. At the scan they only found a foetus measuring 6+4, and I knew my dates were right, plus there was no heartbeat. I knew this was a missed miscarriage as I had dreamed the exact situation about 4 weeks previous and as a result had googles missed miscarriage. Anyway. That was two weeks today, so, scanned on the Friday and I started bleeding almost straight away, and on the Sunday was gushing and cramping and passed a very large item which I took to be the foetal sac and foetus, it was pale and didn't look like the clots at all. So after that the bleeding subsided, I bled a little and by Thursday I had stopped, so hubby and I resumed our sex life :-) but that seemed to bring on a little more bleeding, however the bleeding stopped by Friday night. I have had a tiny bit if spotting since then, like only when I wipe maybe once a day. And nothing at all for at least 2 days. So, today I go fir my follow up
Scan, confident that they would say everything was gone and we could get back to trying again....nope, the foetus and sac are still there, two weeks ago the foetus measured 6.4mm, this time it's 5.5mm....I feel
So confused, a) what the hell did I pass that Sunday? B) why have I had a neg preg test this morning c)if I have no oreg hormones now why isn't my body getting the message and getting rid d) do I have a d&c or medical management or do I carry on and let nature take its course e) could it be that's a new pregnancy???

Help me please, advice, experiences etc etc all very welcome :-)

Hi lindsxxx, I'm so sorry you are goin through this Sad. I don't know the answer to all your questions but I don't think it's a new pregnancy. I've had 2 mc's, the first I had an erpc, the second came away naturally and quickly. I think if I was in your situation I would go for an erpc now, I found it quick and painless and I was able to get back to trying again quite quickly. Take care of yourself xx
