6 weeks and miscarrying

I'm currently going through miscarriage. Had internal scan today and no evidence of pregnancy or in urine test despite having 3 positive tests and being told when my baby would've been due when i saw GP last week. Had blood taken and have to go in on Monday for more to see if hormone level is decreasing.

I hate going to the bathroom, it's all coming out so slowly and keep seeing tissue and all sorts of unidentifiable things

I know it's definitely gone now. I can't face work and am not going in on Monday but I don't want to go in at all next week, i have to deal with teenager's problems and I really can't face it. But no-one will do my work if I'm not there so there'll be loads when I go back so the sooner the better in terms of that.

We were trying for this and I only had the joy for one week. My sisters have 3 and 4 kids each without having experienced this, I have none and it's my first mc. I feel such a failure.

Award, sending you lots of support from me.
It is such a horrible thing to happen, to go from so much joy and excitement, then to watch everything just leak away.
Don't feel bad about feeling so down about it, it is pretty crap. And don;t feel a failure, MCs do 'just' happen.In fact i would say they are pretty common
And it is difficult to talk to people about it, but MN is pretty good for support.

So sorry to hear this award2812

I miscarried at 7 weeks in Oct 2007. We had been ttc for a while and I was so excited to be pregnant I told everyone . Sadly, early m/c is incredibly common but happily, it rarely has implications for future pregnancies.

I got pregnant again 4 mths later, on first cycle of trying (DD now 3 mths old).

Miscarriage is incredibly upsetting. Get some rest. Take the week off and don't think about work during that time. Allow yourself to grieve.

Thank you. I was laughing hysterically at something my boyfriend said before and out of nowhere I felt my mouth turn downwards and the tears just poured out!! I think it must be the hormones like you said. And maybe the guilt at laughing so much. I just wanted to meet it in October so much...

I'm not rushing back to the smelly teenagers!

I just need to take the time to get over it and pray and hope that we can fall pregnant again. I was so happy after only 3 months of trying and 14 year of being on the pill, i just want to be able to conceive again and hold onto it...

award take time off, eat chocolate, wail, laugh, all the processes of grieving. its so blinking hard and the hormonal rollercoaster is mean. Lastly, in no way are you a failure, hold onto whats good
sending you a big hugx

Buy yourself something nice, and cry and give yourself time, and give yourself hope, it will happen one day soon
