Missed miscarriage wait

I had a private scan on Wednesday, which showed no growth or heartbeat.
I am completely devastated.
But I need to wait til Monday for EPA to see me.

They said something about maybe needing to come back for a scan the following week, as that is their protocol. I honestly don’t know if I can wait in this emotional agony for another week. Does anyone know how likely this will be?

This is my first (very wanted) pregnancy. I was seen through assisted conception, so it’s with much trepidation that I need to re enter that line of treatment.
I’m just keen to move on and get to trying again. But I feel completely heartbroken

I wish I had made a different decision in regards to my management. It should have taken 3 hours but took about 6.

But it’s done and I feel relief now.
Peace and love to all

My boss has just said that I should wait until I feel strong Before coming back to work because there will be announcements. So someone at my work is pregnant. And all I can think is “it should have been me”.

My 12 week scan was supposed to be next week.
And my heart is breaking all over again.

My boss is such a gas lighter.

Anyway. Hope everyone is doing ok. This week was hard, not going to lie at all. I should have been at my 12 weeks scan this week.

We had friends over and they’re new parents. They kept going on and on about ultrasounds and the awful pregnancy and Labour. They didn’t know anything about me and DPs journey to be fair. But it has been tough.

Love to all

Hi @Yutes how are you feeling today? I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling…it is so difficult and know exactly how you feel :(

I’ve been back at work for a week now and although there have been really tough moments with 6 colleagues expecting, it has been good to keep my mind busy.

Always here if you want to chat Flowers. Sending love and hugs xo

@mrsm44 hey! It’s all a bit up and down tbh!

Trying to get back into a routine not let by my emotions!

Trying my best. Some days are still better than others!

@Yutes I'm sorry your still feeling down. I feel the same. I'm having days where I feel absolutely fine, quite upbeat and getting on with life. Then there are days where I can't even get out of bed for crying. It's been 2 weeks since I had my surgery and feel like it's time to get back to work - my husband feels differently and thinks I'll be off again. But I feel I need a purpose .

It must be difficult with friends and colleagues discussing their pregnancies. One of my friends announced her pregnancy on the day I was in hospital. I had to be honest with her and tell her about my MMC and although I was delighted for her , I couldn't help but be sad and reminded of everything I had lost. That's when she told me she had 2 MMC before this pregnancy and in a way , it gave me some hope that I can get pregnant again.

Don't be hard on yourself. You will be feeling all the emotions just now due to hormones. We are all here to support you ❤️

Hi ladies, just checking in to see how everyone is doing? Thinking of you all and how grateful I am for this little community during such dark days Flowers

Hi @mrsm44 doing ok I think
What about you?

I’ve not had a period yet. I’m not sure I’ll get one, as I wasn’t having any on my own pre pregnancy anyway. I tried to explain that at Epu, as I was under the care of assisted conception.
Now I just feel like I’m stuck out in ttc limbo 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Yutes I’m the same as you, no period yet (desperately willing it to come, thinking of contacting GP to see if there is anything they can give me to bring it on but wasn’t totally regular before anyway). Hate this limbo feeling, really hoped that the miscarriage might help ‘reset’ my body as it seems to do for some but so far it doesn’t seem like it. Our time will come xx

poppy101010 · 29/09/2021 21:23

@Yutes have you had any cramps or period like symptoms ? I'm 6 weeks after surgical management and period just arrived. I'm going to be honest - it's very heavy and I feel terrible. But like u said time for body to reset .

Yutes · 29/09/2021 22:30

@poppy101010 not really. I felt a bit super emotional about 2 weeks ago, but nothing came of it.

Hi all
After my last MMC and surgical management at the start of June I didn't really have a period at all. Just cramping and a bit of spotting for maybe a day around the time It should have been due. Still managed to get pregnant from my July cycle (although I'm having another MMC as we speak).
