Missed Miscarriage - feeling so sad

[bubblybrit]

I was booked for a private scan this afternoon where I expected to be 11 weeks. However, I was told that she could only see a yolk sac which would place me around 5 weeks.

My dates would need to be way off or else baby stopped developing at this time.

I fell pregnant the month after stopping my pill so didn’t have the chance to track cycle length but doubt my dates are out by 6 weeks.

Hence it seems as if I’ve had a missed miscarriage.

The clinic want to rescan on the 22nd to be on the safe side but I feel as if that’s almost giving me hope when really hope is lost to me.

I was so excited and looking forward to sharing the news with everyone over Christmas.

I’m just so sad.

@bubblybrit I too started bleeding yesterday evening and passed some large clots. I haven't bled today (just a bit of brown blood but not red). In some ways I am hoping this means the miscarriage is officially done, as I was worried about having to have surgery, especially around Christmas. I have my re-scan on the 22nd so hoping they can tell me there is no pregnancy tissue left, although this of course will also feel very sad.

Sending you lots of positive thoughts and hoping we both get through this difficult time and 2021 is a fresh start :-)

@Tartanblanket1000. Our situations are so similar. The EPU brought my scan forward to confirm whether the miscarriage is complete or whether intervention is needed. I am hoping it’s the former as I’m still bleeding but it’s pretty light with almost no cramping.

Hope you are ok and have a good support system in place.

Best of luck for 2021. I’m hoping it’s a better year for all of us that have lost babies.

@bubblybrit Ah maybe I should try and bring my scan forward then. Urgh. I just don't want to be poked and prodded anymore :-(

@Tartanblanket1000. I would phone and ask. I think it makes things a little bit more final for me which will hopefully help me heal. I guess I just didn’t want to think about the potential requirement for surgical management a few days before Christmas.
