Empty sac

[Itonlytakesone]

Initially found at a private clinic sat and again today epu I have an empty sac no embryo inside. (6+6) Going back in a week to get re scan & my options anyone also going through this if you are maybe we can go through it together

Sorry I had progesterone with the previous Blighted Ovum pretty much as soon as I got the positive test as I was under the care of the miscarriage clinic.
With this one I found out I was pregnant on the Friday evening and I was prescribed Progesterone on the Monday afternoon x

@Hoping77 @bluebutterfly8

Yeah it's definitely inevitable for me too, my sac only grew 3mm in a week which is really slow and sac completely empty at all 3 scans iv had (one private and two at epu)

I think by Tuesday they should let me book the op and I can start to get back to normal. It's disappointing but iv made my peace with it now so just waiting it out until I get the ok on Tuesday

@Hoping77 @bluebutterfly8
I'm having a Prosecco and iv got a Chinese take away on order I finally feel relaxed 😌 everything will work out in the end

@Hoping77 @Itonlytakesone
Sounds nice - hope you enjoyed your chinese! :-) I had an early night - still so tired!

My sac actually grew 1mm per day which is what it's meant to do apparantly - not that it puts me in a better situation!

How have I read so many positive stories on google, yet, I'm speaking to 2 people who are going through the same in real time and there are no signs of this ending well! Lol

@bluebutterfly8

I know! Your sac is growing at the rate it should but then I know it's still empty. It's the longest wait this week but while last week I had a glimmer of hope that maybe something would appear? This week iv no hope and I'm just waiting to be officially diagnosed so im just sad very up and down.

@Itonlytakesone
I don't believe for a second something will just appear in the next week! I think it will be bad news like it was in the last scan! I'm not sure why the doctors give us hope though.

What did the doc say to you? Did they have any hope whatsoever? Or, was it just - I'm sorry it's still empty and we need to do another scan to tick the boxes essentially!

@Itonlytakesone @bluebutterfly8

Really hope you guys are able to get some closure soon.

It does feel like they are just covering themselves to the letter so there is no risk at all to them effectively aborting a baby! Even though they probably know there is no chance.

I keep getting letters through for future appointments and I just don’t want to see anything yet. Because they will all end up being cancelled.

Im having my hair done later (full highlights) which I would have cancelled but I’m getting it done and I’m having a few glasses of wine tomorrow!

Im trying to stop myself from looking for positive stories. I think I see just as many positive outcomes as negative ones but weighing everything up I’m pretty certain of my outcome x

@Hoping77 @bluebutterfly8

I was given pretty poor diagnosis throughout not been given any false hope. I got the impression that I'm only waiting it out for their guidelines ect so that it can be an official diagnosis.

I feel a bit of nausea today and boob pain is on/off. I had a Prosecco last night but i felt all bloated after it probably wasn't worth it. I just want my body back to normal now. It's going to be yet another long weekend feeling like this. Sorry I'm all doom and gloom today but I bet you're both feeling similar!

@Hoping77 @Itonlytakesone

I'm feeling really hormonal today and actually upset at everything. Same as you ladies, I was my body back and just to get back to normal.

My doctors were VERY VERY hopeful and almost made me feel like I was over-reacting. After the scan this week, I said to the doctor that I knew this wasn't going to go well, I'm certain of my dates etc. She was still like noo, you probably ovulated late bla! Wish the doc was more like yours -@itonlytakesone.

Although, I know the outcome - them words from the doctor are in my mind leaving me in 2 thoughts.

@hoping77 hope your hair app goes well! I'm glad you've been able to accept the reality.

@bluebutterfly8
Oh right really? Well mine didn't go like that but guess all will be revealed. My dates just don't add up there's no way I can be this behind I mean by Tuesday I'll be 9 weeks from my calculations and there's no way somethings been hiding from all 3 scans all this time!? Seems very unlikely doesn't it. I just think the pregnancy failed early on and iv had cramps at 4 weeks didn't i. I'm a bit down but there's no way out of that right now

@Itonlytakesone
Exactly - we're so far along, how late could we have possibly ovulated lol bizarre!

My app seems sooo far away!!

I guess both your scans next week will give me a better idea of how mine will go.

They really don't want to mess up by giving us meds earlier etc but surerly they could have a more realistic discussion..

Are you going to try again or wait! After y prev ms I've tried straight after but this time I'm going to wait. This experience has really got me down!

@bluebutterfly8
Well I was on the fence about even trying at all. My dd was ivf and is 5 now. I had low amh so low quality eggs back then so I'm not really sure if iv any viable left. This has seriously made me think about possibly not no. Only because of the affect it could have it this keeps happening to me my daughter and husband 🙈 there's not been a good time to attempt it until recently though.

I'm going to definitely wait until my hormones are back to normal before making a decision though right now I can't think straight.

Oh definitely a more realistic conversion would make this situation easier from the doctors but I guess they don't really know what our bodies are doing / going to do and I think they want to give the body a chance to miscarry naturally too

@Itonlytakesone @bluebutterfly8 thanks ladies I’m here now looking forward to getting a fresh colour!

Dont know about you both but I just don’t feel pregnant anymore. Maybe that’s just in my mind..

were you both getting cramps like period early on then? Were they mild or quite strong? Xx

@Hoping77
I did get bad cramps early on like 4 weeks? I just assumed it was implantation or something it eased with paracetamol. After both internal ultrasound iv had a tender left ovary area too which lasted the next day after the scan both times. Also had mild cramp lower stomach after scan both times but then it subsided both times it's strange?!

Iv had no bleeding.

FATIGUE

@Hoping77 @bluebutterfly8

I had the strangest symptom this afternoon. Fatigue so bad it hit me like a brick wall I had to get in bed all afternoon couldn't move for 4 hours iv never felt so heavy. Very odd

@Itonlytakesone @bluebutterfly8

ive been yawning throughout the day pretty much since the day I tested positive. Also went faint at work but put it down to the heat as I hadn’t tested at that point.

also had to take mini naps in the day finding myself dropping off if I lay down, but It doesn’t sound as bad as yours @Itonlytakesone how strange.

Been having some mild heavyness in my lower groin and little twinges. Just tested and I’m still at 3+ on clear blue but as you guys have said, HCG won’t drop just yet in fact might keep rising.

I also had a little mild cramping when doing the internal scan on Weds but that passed after a while.

Still getting pain when I sneeze or get up to quickly! How can such a tiny tiny thing cause so much discomfort ☹️ x

@Hoping77 @Itonlytakesone

I'm with you on the fatigue!! I've had it since the start of this pregnancy! Never had a nap during day but around 1ish in afternoon, I can't keep my eyes open. Crazy isn't it.

And I don't feel preg anymore either - I'm assuming because we've accepted the inevitable.

@itonlytakesone
I bet that's so hard! Same as you - I never want to experience this again!! But then imagine those going for they 1st 12 week scan to find out there'a nowt inside! :-0 that would kill me!

@Hoping77 @Itonlytakesone

At my scan on Monday the sonographer did a external scan but couldn't see clearly so did an internal one. She was then staring at the screen and kept rotating her head here and there and squinting her eyes. I actually thought she could see something. Until, I asked her if I could have a look at the screen. She suddenly (with a very serious face) asks if she could do the internal scan again - so I said yh, she does it and then afrer 2 secs is like i'll leave it to the doctor, you can go now and rushes of.

I keep thinking - I should have asked her why she did it 2nd time, I could have asked her if I could look at the screen again, sooo many questions.

Knowing full well it's empty. Aaaahhhh

@Hoping77 @Itonlytakesone

Oh and my stomach feels tight tonight - google says it's because of the uterus stretching. Strerching to accomodate exactly what may I ask :/ lol

@bluebutterfly8 @Hoping77

It's actually mentally and physically draining isn't it so many outcomes?! @bluebutterfly8 she must have seen something even a flicker anything??

After my sleep yesterday afternoon I didn't think I'd sleep last night but I did I was in a deep sleep all night. I only ever sleep this well when I'm unwell and getting better from something. Then I googled that the body can actually re absorb the pregnancy sac sometimes and doesn't bleed imagine that!

I knoww so many outcomes and sooo long to wait to find out!

I keep checking my dates but I'm too far for it to be empty.

And I'm glad you were able to sleep well - we need all the rest we can get!

@Itonlytakesone @bluebutterfly8

It is so so draining yes, I can’t seem to focus on much else or get excited about anything else at the moment.

Im going out today but would rather be going out not drinking knowing there was a reason for it!

Have you both got scans next week? Mine is on Weds at 1:30pm.

Ive told my manager at work just because I am entitled to the time off for appointments and any additional time I need because of the miscarriage x

@Hoping77
I know but still go and have a nice time we will all get through this it's so tough though the days are so long waiting aren't they. I'm he same I can't concentrate on anything.

Iv a scan 0850 on Tuesday morning then it's yours the next day. And @bluebutterfly8 is it yours the week after isn't it?

@Hoping77 @Itonlytakesone

Mine's week after on the Monday so agesss away! Looking forward to both yours though! Which ever way it goes, hopefully this time round we'll be moving forwards rather than waiting around for another scan!

I'm the same, not really enjoyed these holidays with the kids because I'm constantly on edge with what's going on with this preg!

With work - my manager knows aswell so I'll get time for apps and if a ms happens.

@Hoping77 @Itonlytakesone

Hii

How are you feeling today?

Just was reading a post about someone being preg after a prev mc. Someone else posted saying - if you're past the 6 week mark and haven't had bleeding etc then you're in a much better position.
What?! I feel preg, no bleeding/cramps yet there's no actual baby inside!!

My anxeity is sky high!
