Hi all,

I found out I had a missed miscarriage about 2 and half weeks ago now and it's been 2 weeks since I took the medical management tablets to help move thing along.

When did you stop bleeding? I've had mornings where I've nothing then through the day I get a patch of blood, it's definitely not as heavy as it has been and it's slowing down, but I'm getting annoyed now having to wear pads Envy and in this heat it's shit! Not looking forward either to taking a pregnancy test this weekend....

Thanks

I’m so sorry for your loss. I currently 5 days into my mmc. I started bleeding the night before my 12 week scan. Ultrasound showed no heart beat or growth for 2 weeks. I’m devestated. I’m going to wait another week and do my pregnancy test. Hoping for a negative. Test as I want to start trying again as soon as possible. Midwife said wait two periods before trying hospital said one clear period but I want to start right now if I could! Just want this to be over with as soon as possible Sad. I had a medical termination to speed up the process. First two nights were extremely heavy bleeding and the last three days have just been light spotting. Im hoping bleeding stops soon. 37oc weather and I can’t do to the beach or pool to cool down. Fed up sitting in the house with the air con. I want a little bit of a normal life again.

Hey hun

Sorry for your loss xx

Last year, i went through the same thing. I bled for almost 3weeks. The first few days were the worst but then it started to settle, just felt like I was on a very extended period. I hated it! Having to wear pads all day everyday. Hopefully you’ll stop soon hun

15 days total. The last 5 days were more like spotting though.

I also had medical management for a missed miscarriage. I was 10 weeks but embryo measured 6 weeks and sac measured 8 weeks.

@Scottishgirl88
I had a mmc last week at 9+3 but looks like baby stopped growing at 5.
I'm planning on starting to try again straight away too- GP friend said the official line is you can start again and get a BFP before AF which would be the dream (for me anyway!)
any idea when you'll ovulate following the mc?

@LJS8987 Im so sorry you are going through this too! It’s just such a horrible experience. Finally today the bleed is starting to turn a little less red and starting to look more brown so I’m hoping that the bleeding stops by the end of next week. I have my follow up hospital appointment a week tomorrow and I’ll ask for details on if I can start trying asap and get back to you on what they say on ovulation predictions etc (I hope he will say I’m good to try now but since I posted on here I ended up in the emergency room and had to get a d&c without sedation as the clots were stuck and I was in extreme pain. With the procedure I am worried it will push my recovery further back as doctors can recommend to wait longer to heal the uterus lining) pre pregnancy I was very regular but I did buy ovulating strips on amazon (though I saw on eBay it’s a much better value if you want to buy in bulk) from my million hours of online reading you are safe to start trying as soon as you get a negative pregnancy test as ovulation will happen once hormone levels are down to under 5. So my plan is to test each weekend but since I tested a few days ago I’m desperate to already test again just in case haha!

@Scottishgirl88
Tell me about it it's less than a week and I'm becoming slightly obsessed!!
Your experience sounds awful! Hope you're recovering well and having lots of tlc!!

I have my follow up tomorrow so fingers crossed I've passed everything naturally! Im still bleeding but it's nothing like it has been so will hopefully give up soon!I'm going to ask about ttc tomorrow but I'm sure they'll advise to wait for a period but I can't find anything that justifies that response medically!
I've ordered testing strips from amazon- something new to obsess over!

Fingers crossed you start to feel better soon!
Xx

@LJS8987 god tell me about it! I’ve never heard of anyone having such a bad experience. 13 days since I started bleeding. I had to push 11 pills up inside me for my medical management. Then I had the d&c just with Gas and air which was horrible to feel all the sensations and listen to it all. Then after that I had 18 pills to make me bleed more to push out what the student doctor couldn’t get. I’m so fed up with all the cramping and clots. Now just passing small clots but the longer this process takes and seeing the pain I’ve been through my bf now is taking about not trying again since it has been so traumatic. Now I’m trying to be super positive around him to not freak him out too much so he stays on board with baby try no 2. I hope your appointment goes well. Are you still taking prenatal vitamins. I got male and female ‘trying to conceive’ prenatal vitamins off amazon too! Midwife said that it’s important to keep them up but not all brands are good for pre pregnancy too.

God that sounds awful! Hope the end is in sight now!
He'll soon forget when it comes to ttc I'm sure Wink
Ive not taken anything since last Monday when I started bleeding but plan on starting again tomorrow alongside us both having very healthy diet etc! Xx
