hi there, ive recently suffered from a miscarriage but the pregnancy was unplanned and i only found out i was pregnant for definate a few days before the miscarriage (although i had suspected it for a few weeks) because of this my first scan was at the beginning of my miscarriage leading to confusion about how far along i actually was, although initial maths counting missed period helped the doctors at epu said they were unsure as my hormone levels had already dropped dramatically (graphic info) when i passed the fetus the entire sac was about the size of a very small lime in my hand however this was the sac, does anyone from past experience or knowledge know how many weeks that size is? also my breasts have started lactating or discharging i dont know whether this suggests i was further along(??) i am grieving and not knowing this is constantly going round in my mind as i dont have the clarity i need and am struggling with no one to ask.any help or info would be so appreicated. thank you apologies for the heavy topic xxxx

Hello,
I'm sorry you find yourself here. My recent miscarriage was the result of an unplanned pregnancy too, but I don't think that necessarily makes it any easier. I think it's really difficult to know from the description of the size of things. I was convinced I hadn't completed the miscarriage because I didn't feel like I'd passed enough clots.... but apparently it has all gone (baby was measuring 8 weeks 4 days but sac 10 weeks which was about right by my dates)....

yes i thought i was around 6 1/2 weeks, however among many other clots i passed two larger the second the fetus and it was a lot bigger than i expected and then in relection i realised i cd be more along 10 weeks. hence my confusion and yes i agree although unplanned this has hit me like a truck , thanks
