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 😞

@Samk79 will be thinking of you today too, we asked not to see the scan as it was so upsetting last time although my doc wasn't particularly good with his words so it wasn't much better having him confirm out loud!

If you're not sure I'd consider asking the same as long as you don't feel you need to see it to get closure. I thought it would bring back all the feelings of the first one for me.

@sophied1983 I really hated having the cannula in my hand, I had to have it for ages because my blood pressure was low. It didn't hurt or anything just felt uncomfortable and creeped me out.

@VenusStarr I'm feeling ok thanks for asking, slept poorly last night (early night but up from 2:30-6 and then dozed for another hour after that). I am taking @chocolatelog's advice and staying topped up on painkillers so no significant pain yet.

I'll be thinking of you @Samk79. I'm OK, feeling quite pregnant with sore breasts :( had a tiny bit of dark brown spotting yesterday evening but still nothing has started yet. Feel like I'm on hold until something happens.

Sorry to hear you didn't sleep so well @coconutlatte44 but good to hear you're managing the pain. Hope you can rest lots today xx

Thanks @VenusStarr. Yes, am going to have a lazy day today.

Is your scan tomorrow? Sorry you're still in the waiting process, it's awful feeling like you can't move on.

No, not until next Friday @coconutlatte44 :( it's been a long week already.

@VenusStarr and @coconutlatte44
Thank you for thinking of me. I am bleeding more heavily now but don't think I've passed the sac yet, at least I'll find out later. I just feel like I'm in limbo at the min x

I've been back to Epu, as expected there is still an sac which measures 6 weeks, it was 5 weeks 3 days last week. She said due to the bleeding and pain it looks like I'm miscarrying naturally.
I'm confused though as to start with she said it wasn't a sac but an area of bleeding then said she would talk to the consultants about medical or surgical management. I've had more bloods done and she will call me with the results later today

I'm sorry you're still in limbo @Samk79, have you heard back from them yet? ❤️

I've just rang them and she hasn't even looked at the results yet, says she will call me back. I'm so fed up of waiting x

I am so sorry @Samk79, that's not the care I would expect in these circumstances. I'm sorry you've been left waiting and that the scan wasn't conclusive today. X

@VenusStarr thank you, I called about 20 mins ago, she said she hadn't even looked at the results as it had been busy and she would call me. Still waiting. The pain is worse now x

I hope you get a call back today @Samk79, have they advised you about pain relief? I hope if this is it, it passes quickly for you so you aren't in pain for too long. It's really shit 😢 xx

Sending love.

Oh and ladies - don't watch the new series of Fleabag on BBC. I made that mistake.

@VenusStarr I'm still waiting, don't think I'll get today now. I've been to the pharmacy to get some co codomal to try x

Thanks for the warning @sophied1983, I was going to watch that next week when dh went back to work. Hope it didn't upset you x

I'm sorry they've treated you like this @Samk79, hope the Co codomal helps x

@VenusStarr thank you, I just feel that my life is on hold at the min. Also my partner is self employed and he has booked jobs on for next week not really knowing what is happening with me

They have just called, my levels have dropped a lot, the dr thinks I will miscarry naturally over the next few days but they can book me a slot for Monday in case I don’t xx

So sorry to hear you are going through this. The same thing happened to my grown up daughter. It's so surreal and the waiting for nature to do its awful, unfair thing is just heartbreaking. Thinking of you

@Mumsymumphy thank you, it's an awful thing to go through x

So sorry to hear that @Samk79 it's a crap time.

I've felt a little better today but still have really heavy bleeding. Getting my hair done tomorrow so that's something to look forward to and a reason to leave the house. My mil has been a great help this week but she's away now until next Thursday which means from tomorrow I'll have to do the school run ect and I just can't be bothered to talk to anyone atm let alone try and put on my normal face.

Hope everyone is ok x

I'm glad they called you back @Samk79 and that you have a plan in place. How are you feeling? X

Glad you have something nice planned in @chocolatelog, understand the feeling of not wanting to see or talk to people x

@chocolatelog enjoy getting your hair done. My kids are older but. Feel guilty that I haven't wanted to do anything lately, I don't even want to leave the house. My daughter knows what's happening but my son doesn't and is really worried bless him

@VenusStarr I feel a bit happier knowing there is a plan. I'm still very emotional, me and my partner had a disagreement today and he said I haven't thought about how he feels in any of this 😞

Oh @Samk79, it's really hard. I've been irritable with dh and kind of shut down. When I ask him how he feels, he says he's OK and only concerned about me. He feels like because the baby didn't grow it wasn't a baby, so he's already accepted it. Whereas I'm stuck. I think during the grief process this is normal though. Hope you're OK xx
