I just need to rant here so please bear with me.
I found out a week and a half ago that I had a mmc. I am cast iron on my dates and went for a private viability scan at 8 weeks following a previous miscarriage. An empty sac was found which was obviously really upsetting.
I was referred to the epu and have had a further 2 internal scans. Still no signs of a viable pregnancy.I should be 9 weeks pregnant. I got my positive test at the end of July and I know when I ovulated. I haven't even had sex since 21st July but no one is listening to me. They won't give me any medical management due to NICE guidelines.
I am going abroad on holiday with my 3 yo dd and dp on Friday. I have accepted that I have lost this pregnancy but can't really move on while I am carrying the sac. And now I have the extra worry that I might mc on holiday. I am at the end of my tether.

Lowra I'm so sorry. I had a similar experience in my last MC where I found out at 7+5 that baby was not developing on schedule and had a further 2 weeks of messing about with everyone giving the pregnancy no chance of survival but nobody being willing to do anything. I finally miscarried naturally whilst waiting for yet another scan.

What is the sticking point in your case? I think if you've had 2 scans a week apart showing no development then you should be able to push for medical management or ERPC.
I feel your frustration that nobody is listening to you. I was certain about dates, I had even had a scan showing that I was about to ovulate midcycle, and they were telling me I had a positive test before I even conceived. Nobody wanted the pregnancy to be ok more than me, but if it wasn't I wanted it all over with.
I hope you can get something sorted this week.
