Anyone else just...waiting?

I'm due to go in tomorrow for first round of pills before I go in Thursday for the second set of pills and medical management in hospital.

DH and I have two weeks off work anyway and going quietly mad while we wait (the universe works in mysterious ways and the timing so far has been spectacular). We don't even have any DIY left to do.

I've been bleeding on and off since we found out but nowhere near what I'd call the "event". Put a heavy flow pad on yesterday morning and barely a drop.

Is anyone else just waiting and waiting? How are you keeping sane? I'm doing okay emotionally but physically I feel like I could run for miles. I don't know what to do with myself now. DH is struggling to occupy himself and finding the emotions really difficult to process. But I feel like I just want it out of the way so we can move on...so the wait is killing me.

Hi @OptimisticRealist2024 I feel the same, you're not alone.
MMC diagnosed 8 July, going in for surgical management tomorrow. Been over a week of waiting. I just want to draw a line under it. DH and I were meant to be on hols with his family last week but we dropped out. Emotionally I didn't think I could do it and was worried about bleeding starting. So I worked all week instead to keep busy. Still no bleeding or anything so I'm glad I'm finally going in tomorrow. No advice just wanted to say I totally get it. I've been walking a lot and watching a lot of Netflix and BBC dramas 😕 wishing you the best xxxx

@WildFinch Thanks for replying - just nice to know I'm not the only one sat on a sofa, mindlessly working my way through a box set praying for it to be over. Hope your surgery goes okay and that things get easier for you, and you get a second chance at a holiday. 🌈 What a sh*y club this is.

Ladies, I just wanted to say sorry for your losses. Had an MMC last year and a recent chemical and I so know what you mean about drawing a line under it. I hope everything goes well for you both.

Hi, so sorry you’re going through this too. I’m in sort of the same boat. This my second miscarriage, I started bleeding on Saturday and a scan at EPU on Monday confirmed that the pregnancy is passing naturally (I had surgical management last time as it was a missed miscarriage).

I’ve spent the past two days just sitting on the sofa watching crap tv. I’m off work, but I don’t know what to do with myself. The bleeding seems to have slowed down already although they said it could take 2 weeks to fully finish. I feel like I should be doing something useful but I have no energy and feel very emotional. It’s a tough time, sending you a hug.

I am really sorry to read this. This sounds like such a difficult time for you. It sounds as though you are handling things incredibly and you are being so strong. I am wishing you all the best for the future 💗
