Anembryonic Pregnancy

[Hayley220]

Hi everyone

Sadly I found out at an early scan (booked by my midwife early by mistake) at 10 weeks that I have an empty sac around 6 weeks.

For 9 days in between the 2nd scan they could not rule out ectopic. They said it's not though so hopefully it is anembryonic.

I'm now just over 11 weeks and I have been cramping on and off period type pains for 4 days. No bleeding or spotting though.

I'm hoping things happen naturally but is there a chance it won't? I really don't want any intervention.

I am so frightened of what the pain will be like and how much bleeding there will be.

Just looking for some reassurance.

Thankyou x

I don't think anyone can predict how long, i'm sorry. The waiting is just so shit.

You are right ginnybaker 😔 There is no crystal ball. Did you go on to have children? I'm in no rush after this experience we need time to heal x

I was very lucky to have a little boy in the end, Hayley.

Ahh I'm so pleased, that's good to hear. Maybe once I have had time to get over this we can try again. It's such a horrible situation and I can't believe how common it is. x

Morning. Hope you managed to get some sleep. Thinking of you.

Hiya, I slept ok, but bleeding now. Slight cramping but dreading if it gets worse xx

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Is there someone with you this weekend?

Yes got my hubby. It's just really slow at the moment 😐Xx

I just want to tell you my story so you know you are not alone, I found out I was pregnant a month ago but had some bleeding so went to the EPU where they took my bloods this went on for a month and they rose from 53 to 400 to 650 then to 1034 and only rose to 1080 they did a scan and didn't see anything and then did my bloods and they had risen to 1500 so booked another scan for two weeks. They then saw an empty sac with no embryo and I had to have to tablets to bring on a miscarriage. To anyone who has to have this please make sure it is needed as the tablets bought on what can only be described as labour pains (as if the emotional pain isn't enough) hope this helps

Thanks Grace Elizabeth hoping I won't need those tablets. Hope you are feeling a bit better x

At the moment I am just loosing brown blood with dark black tissue TMI - I really hope this is normal. I have no bright red blood yet and it's only when I wipe really.

Morning, Haley. How are you? I was thinking of you yesterday and hope you managed to get some rest.

Gracelizabeth, I'm sorry for your loss.

Hi thanks Ginny! I'm ok but really frustrated. Losing brown blood with dark tissue in, I rang the hosp they just said it's old blood and I said will I miscarry and they always say the same that everyone is different. It's so frustrating x

Oh I feel for you! The waiting is just awful. Is there any point in asking them to do repeat bloods just to see where you are up to, I wonder?

The whole situation is awful and I feel for everyone that has been or is going through it, I can't believe it's all over and I'm not going to be having a baby anymore, I feel bitter and horrible which is wrong but I'm a big bag of emotions and I think the shock of the pain I went through last night is still in my system, I can't sleep so I've been taking codeine which is making me feel sick. And I have to go back to the hospital on Monday to see if everything has come away and if not I'll have to have more of those tablets and thinking about going through that pain again is killing me. This is all so hard :( I hope your all dealing with this better than I am x

So sorry you are going through this. I had an MVA in march so let me know if you want any more info. It was physically ok, and over quicker than natural methods which made it a bit more helpful but everyone is different

Grace Elizabeth - you poor thing I am so sorry to hear this. I feel it's normal to feel angry, I have been through every emotion too. I hope after Monday you will get some closure and be able to look to the future. I am so sorry to hear how you are feeling, it really is so awful.

Thanks Posibilitea

I think it's happening although I feel a bit in denial because it's taken so long to start. It's now red blood. I just want to say thanks so much for the support to you all especially Ginnybaker x

Oh love, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that the physical part passes quickly.

I'm around a lot today bloody yodel if it would help to distract you with nattering.

Hi Ginny,
I wasn't sure whether to update anyone on here but as I had so much support I decided to post.

Last Tuesday I ended up in a&e as was losing too much blood, I was so frightened. They put me on a drip and gave me pain relief and then I had to have things manually removed there and then which stopped the heavy bleeding. They then kept me in over night to monitor me and I went home Wednesday.

Since then I have still been cramping and passing things, bleeding has now almost stopped but I am left feeling weak, tired, headachey and sore. I don't know if I have anymore to pass but it's slowed down a lot.

I now wish i had a d&c as I was over 12
Weeks when I miscarried and things were sizeable. I had no idea it would be like that.

It's so hard to get my strength back and emotionally so upset but I will get there.

Thanks for the support on here xx

Oh Hayley that's awful what you had to go through. You are very strong. Wishing you all the best for a full recovery, and sending positive thoughts xx
