Still refreshing for news from counting as the scan should have been 2.5 hours ago.... Hope you're ok

Thank you all sor your thoughts.

It's a miscarriage. Embryo has not grown.
Have opted for surgical management and booked in on Thursday. I haven't had this before, can anyone let me know what to expect for procedure and recovery. I made the choice because I don't want to spend lonely weeks mooching around the house bleeding endlessly.

Six miscarriages. Wow.

Reception is dicey and I lost my first post so the second version was concise!

Heartfelt congratulations, Tiny. It's lovely news. Welcome baby Alice. Xx

I'm so sorry counting. I hope your dp and parents are with you now and looking after you. Thinking of you xxx

counting I am so, so sorry . I've not had medical management so can't comment but if I was in your shoes I think I'd have made the same decision for the same reasons. Is your mum going to stay with you? Look after yourself, you will come out the other side, no matter what it feels like right now .
Wish I could come and give you a proper [hug].
Life stinks sometimes .

Sorry Counting

My experience of surgical management was no pain aside emotional really. I asked for they surgeon to be very conservative as I was scared about causing trauma to the uterus. Because of this (I think) my bleeding has been on par with my naturally miscarriages. 2 weeks bleeding, one week off, then AF type bleed when AF was due. Then one week off and now I've had spotting since Friday so this is an anovulatory cycle I presume. AF due again middle if April then hopefully that will start a 'normal cycle' pattern again.

So so sorry for your loss. 6 miscarriages are totally heart breaking.

Oh Counting, I'm so sorry to hear this. hugs to you. The surgical option is quick and straight forward. Not painful and over quickly. Will they carry out genetic testing? xx

Big hugs Counting, so sorry x

I've had both medical management and natural MC and have to say I preferred MM. As found bleeding was more lighter and for less time. Did feel groggy the next day so was glad DH was off looking after DD so I could just relax. Did have a massive bruise on my tummy a few days later but it soon went.

Oh counting so sorry. For me surgical was fine, felt a bit groggy for a couple of days but that was due to general anaesthetic more than anything. I bled for about a week I think but not too heavy.

Sending you hugs xx

Oh counting - I am so so sorry. Huge hugs to you. Really hope your parents and dp are looking after you. God life is shit sometimes.

Don't worry about the surgery. It is quick and for me was pretty painless - just had a couple of paracetamol that evening. I've had three now, the first one after an incomplete natural mc, (so have a comparison) and would always choose surgery. I found it just gave me almost immediate closure on the physical side. I bled a bit after the first - 10 days or so but not hugely heavy, a week after the second one and virtually nothing after the last one.

Hugs again.

counting I'm so very sorry, I have had the surgical 3x, very quick and very little pain

counting big squeezy hug. I'm so sorry it's happened again. Hope your parents can stick around for a few days, assuming it helps. I found my surgically managed mc a relief. Although I had tried to mc naturally and was failing to, the surgery was straightfoward, painless, and physically easy. Slight bleeding afterwards, but more like pinkish discharge. Hope it means they can do testing. xx
