Sorry to hear about all your losses. I'm also currently going through miscarriage, would've been 10 weeks yesterday. It's been such a rollercoaster, and I feel completely drained, both physically and emotionally.
I started bleeding heavily on Dec 16, passing clots and all, and had a scan at the EPU a couple of days later, when they saw an empty sac.
However, my hCG levels from the 2 subsequent blood tests went up instead of down, so they asked me back for another scan on the 24th, we had to cancel all our Christmas travel plans - and to my utter surprise found a heartbeat! I was gobsmacked and dumbfounded... But worried at the same time because I was measuring more than 2 weeks smaller than I should've been (and I was very sure about my dates).
However, around NYE, I had started to become a bit more positive that this might all have a good outcome, started making plans again etc. The bleeding had also stopped - when on Tuesday evening I suddenly passed a huge lump of tissue, followed by a smaller one on Wednesday morning. I took them to EPU, where they confirmed my fears - it was pregnancy tissue, and I am miscarrying after all.
The EPU will not do anything else, no scan, no blood test, as everything seems to take a natural course. They were concerned about risk of infection, though, so I am now on antibiotics. I am to do a pregnancy test in 3 weeks, and that's it.
I am lucky in that the physical side of it has not affected me too much so far, the bleeding is manageable, and so is the pain, but I'm struggling emotionally... I have a DS, and during that pregnancy I worried so much about mc. This time round I was very naive to assume that all would be OK, just because it went well before.
I feel so tired and drained, could sleep all the time.
