Waiting for a natural miscarriage

[Cinnamon84]

Have just come home from a scan to be told the sac had started to shrink and so this pregnancy wouldn't continue. I've been spotting brown blood for the last 4 or so days... Will this carry on or will there eventually be a lot more blood? I would have been about 7 weeks and looks like the shrinking started to happen between now and 17th jan when I had my first scan due to suspected ectopic. I'm not sure if I need to be at home and wait for it to get worse or if I should be getting back to my normal routine. Think I am a bit numb/in shock at the moment so not sure I'm thinking straight.
I know there's a lot of people on here who are going through far worse and found out further into the pregnancy but wondered if anyone could offer any advice?

Thanks daised. Hoping it will get easier for us. Sounds like you're past the worst of it. I've been off work for almost 2 weeks and haven't been out much so haven't had to face any pregnant friends yet..
Just went to the toilet and wiped and saw bright red again. Anyone know what that means? When is this ever going to end??!
My doctor called me yesterday and said you could even start trying before AF, they only say that so they can date everything more accurately. I guess everyone's situation is different though. I even told her that we have a holiday in May with a long haul flights and several internal flights and she said that's fine.

Hi guys, sorry about the bright red again Cinnamon - don't know what it means I am afraid, this whole process seems really random and different for everyone, hugs though.

Interesting what you and Brickie say about trying before AF. I really want to but am worried that because there is still this bit of thickening which is supposedly going to come out with AF that if by some miracle I did get pregnant straight away it would be stuck inside and poss cause another MC. What do you think? I haven't done a hpt but think I will as the nurse said it would show up positive whist still had thickening, so maybe if I keep checking and try once I get a BFN that might be a plan.

Sorry for tmi, but I am still losing small clots, it is just all brown blood now and only when I wipe.

I really think this whole process is so crap and unfair. xxx

I was at epau today arranging my MAC for next week but I did adj the lovely mw about ttc and she very much said go for it immediately, no need to wait a cycle etc.
When I conceived my dd straight after a mc I did shed some old brown blood at 10 weeks which I always wondered about being due to short interval but it certainly didn't effect her and a scan on the day of the brown spotting showed a happy 10 week bean with a strong heartbeat.
If I feel strong enough to ttc after I have this erpc/mva then I will not worry about waiting and just let nature take its course.

Arranging my MVA, not Mac.....My kindle thinks it knows better

Hi daised, it's so hard to know isn't it? you might feel in a week or so like it's a good time to try again. However maybe there's no harm in waiting 1 cycle and letting yourself recover? I really want to start ttc again soon, this was my first miscarriage and its made me realise how much I want children. Dp really wants to wait after our holiday in May though as we're both so scared of something like this happening while we're away... I'm kind of seeing this holiday as healing time as were visiting his parents and seeing an old friend in the US so maybe it's a good idea we enjoy ourselves with no stress for a couple of months. Not sure I'll be able to get over this until i have a healthy baby though :( I'm not sure if that's completely selfish?

Doctor called this morn and hcg levels have gone down massively so ectopic looking unlikely, thank god!!

I meant to say this was my first pregnancy.. Pray to God this is my only miscarriage...

Thanks for messages guys. Hope all goes as well as poss with the MVA brickie. I am still up in the air re: ttc. It is difficult to know what to do for the best. Maybe taking a break and being able to relax on your big holiday is a good idea Cinnamon. Could even be a good time to start ttc as you will have some quality time with dp.

Everything crossed that none of us ever has to go through this again xxx
