Graphic photo in post - 7 weeks miscarriage?

[Happymummy22]

I miscarried yesterday. I only found out less than 2 weeks ago but based on my LMP I would have been 7 weeks 3 days yesterday when it happened. I went for a private scan Sunday gone, when I should have been bang on 7 weeks. It was only an abdominal scan, but the sonography asked if I had my dates wrong as the gestational sac only looked around 5 weeks, and she couldn’t see anything else. She asked me to do a digital test so I did and it only said 2-3 since conception however I expected it to say 3+ for sure based on my lmp. Ok, so maybe I ovulated late? But I knew from there something wasn’t right. Light pink spotting started the next day (Monday) just a bit here and there. Tuesday evening comes bright red blood when wiping in the loo. Later that evening, passing clots, so I went to a&e. After 3 hours of waiting, they do a strip preg test which they tell me looks faint, and tell me they can’t get me in for a scan until Saturday.

yesterday the bleeding and cramping continued and I was 99% sure I had miscarried but I just needed to know. I booked a private transvaginal scan to be attended an hour after I booked it. I set off to the scan and stopped on the way quickly for food. Whilst I was in the queue I FULLY felt something fall out of me. I had put a pad on that morning, to monitor the bleeding & clotting.

I ran to the toilet in the food place & found what quite clearly was the worst result, but I knew it was coming. I went to the scan just to confirm (think I was in shock) and they did so confirm that I had completed miscarriage, there was nothing left 😢

I have 3 beautiful kids and I’m lucky that this is the first time I have ever experience miscarriage, but I think my question is, after googling images of loss between 5-7weeks, mine looks nothing like what I’m seeing.
Does this look normal to others for what could be 5/7 week passing? It looked/felt so big & fully looks like a ball of cells starting to take shape.

Im so gutted that I didn’t get the chance to see baby on the screen inside me, just once, even though I tried with both scans 😢 now I think my curiosity and what will forever be unanswered questions are in overdrive..,

I'm so sorry for your loss and that you had to go through that.

I think your title is misleading though and some sort of trigger warning is needed.

I hope you get the answers you are looking for x

I had identical situation happen to me, but that looks like a massive clot to me. Is there a round distinctive sac in it no? Like, golf ball sized or bigger? I miscarried at 10 weeks but it has stopped growing at 7 weeks, had an obvious sac but no obvious fetus/embryo.

I’m really sorry for what you’ve gone through. I lost a baby girl at 12 weeks. Mine was a distinctive sac with embryo but there was also odd tissue and lots of clots. It could be possible that baby wasn’t developing as he/she should and that’s why you miscarried, in which case the appearance also may not not appear as you’d expect for that week of gestation. I also found that there’s a lot doctors don’t know or don’t talk about and even Google searches don’t answer your questions- I think it’s wrong that women can’t readily Google images of miscarried babies and tissue so we know what’s happening to us. Anythyng and everything else is readily available on the internet but I feel like this is censored and still taboo and that needs to change because it’s a biological reality for many of us and it’s a scary experience too. Your grief is valid and after having gone through two losses for me the baby I saw more of in scans was the harder one to lose as I was further along. But it was still so hard to lose the baby girl whose heartbeat I had only seen. It’s a part of grief to want answers. Keep asking if you need, but know that some answers may never come and that we can learn to live beside our unanswered questions, and our grief. I am so sorry for your loss and please know other women have walked this very sad and terrible path. You’re never alone x

I had a m/c at same point and I had more than one golf ball size clots pass, one of the must have been the sac, honestly it was so so much. Take a pregnancy test in a couple of weeks and if it's still positive then go back for another scan

So sorry for your loss also, it's so cruel isn't it. I hope you're doing ok x

This looked similarly to what I passed at 6.5 wks. Can I ask afterwards did you have any bleeding or pain? I passed without discomfort, minimal bleeding and then nothing like it never happened.

No one is responsible for other people’s triggers. To find this means you’re looking for miscarriage information.
