Stuck in limbo

Last week we had the devastating news that my third pregnancy was not viable and that I would miscarry. This will be my third mc in a row. I decided I wanted to let it happen naturally but I’ve had nothing so far, no spotting or anything. I now don’t know what to do, I’m too scared to go into work as I don’t want it to happen there (I can log in from home) but I’m also conscious that it may take a while to happen.
This waiting game is awful, my chest is still so tender and I’m exhausted. Is anyone else stuck waiting like this?

Im so sorry for your loss, such a shitty thing to have to go through. Sadly ive just suffered my second MC too & was in a similar situation to you. I opted for it to happen naturally but unfornatly after a week nothing had happened. I spoke to my EPU and decided that Medical Management would be the next option, i had 4 tablets (that dissolved under my tongue) and was able to go home. The cramping & bleeding then pretty much started straight away. I bled heavy and passed everything the same day, i had heavy bleeding for about 4 days after then turned into a light period for around 2 weeks. I eventually stopped bleeding & got a negative PT. Hope your okay xxx

Hi rainbow, I’m so sorry for your losses too, your right it is such an awful thing to go through. I have a scan booked for next week so will opt for medical management if nothing has happened by then. Starting to wish I’d opted for that straight away. Take care of yourself xx

Hi K0013 so sorry you have to go through this. I went through the same a couple of months back. You just take it easy, one day at a time.. Thinking of you...

Yeah i kind of wished the same thing, the waiting is the worst. I had a scan first before any medication but honestly the tablets want as bad as i thought & was soon okay to go home. My hot water bottle was a life saver throughout for the cramps & pains. Take care of yourself xxx
