So at the beginning of this journey I relied alot on forums like these for advice but alot of the storys were scary and negative and I vowed to share my version of events in hope that it would at least help someone. On the 15th of January me and my husband went for our 12 week scan this was our first pregnancy, the night before I'd had alot of anxiety and started to feel different like the majority of my pregnancy symptoms had disappeared. The scan came and we were told that our baby had stopped developing at 9 weeks and had no heartbeat and that i'd had an MMC (missed miscarriage), we were taken to an assessment unit where we were given 4 scary prospects conservative management where I'd wait it out naturally, medical management, general anesthetic surgery or local anesthetic surgery it was all terrifying but when i got home I decided on medical management as I suffer from terrible anxiety, have never had surgery and also we didn't like the risk of it affecting fertility. On the 16th of January I was booked onto a ward, bloods, blood pressure taken and then the doctor came to discuss my risk. 4 hours later a nurse came and inserted 4x Misoprostol tablets inside me. I had to wait an hour then I was allowed to leave. I was advised that the bleeding would begin in an hour so I went to the pharmacy and got a box of co-codomol and ibuprofen which you can take if they only use misoprostol so make sure you ask. I went upto my mums with my husband as i felt having extra support would help with my anxiety, I got in my pjs, got a wheat bag and made myself comfy. The bleeding started 7 hours after the tablets were inserted everybody is completely different so be patient. It started off slowly just abit of spotting so I went on a walk outside for half an hour and when I came back it started to pour (graphic content) I was shocked at how much blood was coming out as I usually have a light period, not long after I passed a clot the size of a golf ball, I continued to pass another 4 or 5 medium size pieces of tissue, at one point I think I may have seen the baby but I cannot be sure everyone is different so its hard to say, all together I probably passed around 10 pieces of tissue various sizes but I did not experience any pain at all or cramping maybe it was because i'd regularly taken pain relief for the 7 hours prior but I cannot be sure its definitely worth a try. The bleeding tapered off after 7/8 solid hours and alot of blood lost I felt exhausted physically and mentally. I didn't bleed over night and maybe spotted for 2 days afterwards, for the next couple of weeks i had the occasional bit of brown stringy discharge, or a spot of blood but no pain afterwards. I was terrified that i hadn't passed everything, it is so easy to google everything and send yourself into a state of panic. The hospital told me to test after 3 weeks to see wether my hcg had come down, I was impatient and tested 2 weeks 4 days post miscarriage which showed a very strong BFP I was heartbroken and spent till the 3 weeks worrying about potential surgery, I tested exactly 3 weeks post miscarriage and had a very very faint BFP which was now turned into a BFN 3 weeks 3 days post miscarriage be patient by the looks of it levels drop at a dramatic rate. But also don't be afraid to ring your EPU for advice. I hope my story will help at least 1 person feel more at ease. Miscarriage is so scary but try and remain relaxed. Now I'm just waiting on AF to show up, will update when this happens. Going to enjoy my abroad holiday on monday then soon after ttc again ☺️
