Empty pregnancy sac

[Samk79]

I had a scan on Thursday when I thought I was 11 weeks. They could see an empty sac which measured 5 weeks. I know my dates are not that far out.
They took bloods and informed me my hormone levels are high suggesting that my dates are right and my body isn't getting rid of the pregnancy
I have to go back on Thursday for another scan. I am bleeding and have cramps. Has Anyone had a similar experience and did you miscarry naturally?
I just feel in limbo right now 😞

@VenusStarr sorry to hear things have started for you
Yesterday was an awful day, first I had the bleeding then my partners sister called him to say her sin and his girlfriend are having a baby. It wasn't planned and they considered not keeping it. They had their scan yesterday and all was fine.
It has completely Floored Me, I can't stop crying. She is 2 weeks behind what I would have been 😞

Thank you @Samk79, it's definitely over for me but I do feel some relief that the guessing is no longer there. I'll still go to the scan next week but there's no doubt in my mind now. Dh thinks that it was the original pregnancy and they just missed it the first time. I'm not sure we'll ever get answers.

I am so sorry to hear that. Why did they tell you they were thinking that?! It's really insensitive, I'm cross for you. Life is really cruel. Sending you lots of love ❤️❤️ Xx

@VenusStarr at least you will know for definite next week.
I guess they wanted us to know before we head it from anywhere else. My partner doesn't seem bothered at all, he even said we would get them a card. It's made me so angry. They weren't even planning a baby and we were. Now me and my partner have fallen out as he is fed up of me crying x

I'm sorry to hear that you've fallen out @Samk79 it feels very unfair and to have it in your face like that is very cruel. Take your time. I am finding I can't control when I cry and it can literally start over anything or nothing. Don't bottle things up x

@VenusStarr thank you. I guess he is getting fed up after 3 weeks of it! I'm not sure if it your thing but there is a private miscarriage support group on Facebook x

Thanks @Samk79, I'm not on Facebook, I came off when we were ttc. Dh said he'd rather not have a baby than see me go through this heartbreak 😢 I think we just need to give it time, I hope it doesnt mean that he wants to not try again. I'm not desperate to start trying again any time soon though, feel like I need a break and try to find me again.

How you feeling today? X

@VenusStarr it's so tough isn't it. My partner says he doesn't want to try again until at least September then says he doesn't think I can cope with another loss. I k he deep down I need time to heal from this. I just worry I have left it too late x

@VenusStarr how are you doing x

Hi @Samk79, I'm not too bad. Had a rough couple of days, very emotional and couldn't stop crying. I was woken up Sunday and Monday with more cramps and clots which scared me. Glad we will finally get some closure tomorrow (I hope).

How are you? X

Hi @Samk79. The miscarriage has been confirmed today as complete. Feeling OK as I expected it. Dh is taking it hard though :( how are you getting on? X

@VenusStarr sorry to jump on your thread but I can't access my messages for some reason. Just wanted to say I was thinking of you today and I'm so sorry that it ended the way it did for you :( sending lots of love and hugs your way xx

@VenusStarr that's sad but in a way I guess is easier if you were expecting it 😞
Have they told you if you need to take a pregnancy test to check it is negative?
I'm okay, I finally seem to have stopped bleeding, still feel emotional though x

I think so @Samk79, I've had a month to accept it. Although it's been bumpy. I'm relieved it was complete. Yeh. They've just said test in a week or two. The test today was still a strong positive. I'm sorry you're feeling emotional but glad your bleeding has stopped now xx

Thank you for thinking of me @Secretlifeofme that's very kind of you to message. I am sad but relieved to have some closure, it's been a long month of uncertainty. Hope you're OK xx

@VenusStarr it's an emotional rollercoaster. I am going back to work on Tuesday. My boss has been very good though and said I can use some annual leave towards the End of the day if I need to x

That's good that your boss is being flexible @Samk79. I've been back 2 days and only managed half days. Been really tired. I also got a bit upset walking in yesterday and it unsettled me. I think getting back into a routine is going to help me, but definitely need to ease myself in. X

How did your first day back go @Samk79? I'm struggling but my boss is being very supportive. Hope you're OK x

Hi girls hope your all doing well. I had my first period on Saturday after the d&c was in a lot of pain down below, felt like I was being kicked in between the legs 🙈 lost a big clot and have been in no pain since. Was anyone else first period that bad? I also forgot to do the pregnancy test 3 weeks later (which I think should of been done 9 days ago) if I remember I'll grab one today. When I was discharged from hospital I can't remember if they said i needed to be seen again. After your op did you have to go back? Or see your go or do the test and let anyone know? I'm useless at remembering things 🙈

So many typos 🤦🏻‍♀️ gp

@VenusStarr it was okay thankfully, I felt so nervous about it after being off for a month. At least it's a short week this week. How are you doing?

@chocolatelog I haven't had a period yet. I was told to do the pregnancy test 3 weeks after surgery and let them know if it was positive, mine was negative x

Glad it was ok for you @Samk79 My manager has been really good. Got sent home on Monday as was so upset but feeling much better today. Wondering if it's my hormones dropping. My manager said she went onto the miscarriage association to see what else they can do to support me. Feel really lucky that she's being so nice. Feeling a lot better today. X

I know mine was natural in the end but the hospital didn't say anything about testing (that I remember). They tested last Wednesday and still positive. I tested yesterday and still positive. Going to leave it until 2 May which will be 4 weeks since I passed everything to check. Your first period sounds unpleasant @chocolatelog glad the pains have gone now though x

Thanks girls, all the best x

@VenusStarr your boss sounds like a real gem and great that they are being so supportive! I still have emotional days! Xx

Hi everyone, how are you all doing? @VenusStarr, was so sorry to read about how everything turned out for you, I was really hoping for a miracle for you. Hope the return to work smooths out for you.

Things are going pretty well for me - I just got my first period post-ERPC on Monday which was bad timing as the first day of a holiday, but happy to get it over with regardless!
It was 26 days after surgery, so just a couple of days short of my normal 28 day cycle, and seems pretty normal with regard to pain/bleeding etc, which I am pleased with - small victories.
We had a little chat about ttc the other day and my husband asked if I was up for it, I suggested that we go for it but be relaxed about it as possible.
Emotionally, I am in a decent place but do worry that if I am lucky enough to become pregnant quickly that my anxiety will take over - I had managed to be so calm and positive about this pregnancy and it does feel like the miscarriage will have a significant effect on how I feel about any future pregnancies. I just can't see how I will be able to be excited until I'm safely past a certain point.

@coconutlatte44 that's great news you are going to start ttc again. I can understand your anxiety about any future pregnancies. We have still not decided if we are going to start TTc again. Deep down I want to but I would be petrified to try again especially given my age. I'm 40 in June and keep reading about the increased risk of miscarriage over 40. Iim still gutted that my pregnancy didn't work out but it obviously wasn't meant to be.

Hope everyone else is doing okay x
