Don’t think I can do this again

[K0013]

After panicking over my test lines not getting any stronger I’ve just discovered some bright red blood, it’s only a little bit but guess that plus the tests and boobs getting less sore it’s looking pretty grim. Don’t think I can cope with another mc 😞

Hey Lovely. Yes you can! However, right now I bet your feeling proper crap. You are allowed to.
How many mc's have you?

Hi, thanks for replying. Just the one before, really hoped it would be different this time!

How many weeks were you? Confident it's a mc?

Think I’m about 6. Seems to be quite a bit of bright red blood, will call the midwife tomorrow morning but I’m think it is likely to be 😞
I saw your other post, hope you are doing ok? x

Ah, thanks love I am. Although I have become slightly obsessed with this baby making lark!

Is this your 1st?

Yes it would have been. I know what you mean about being obsessed 😊 Think I’ll need to take a break for a while if this is another mc x

That was my intention whilst I still felt proper shit. But as my strength is increasing I'm finding myself staring at the same old shit on google making what I read for my symptoms.
Do you have someone with you to help you?

fit for my symptoms

The internet is a great thing at times but it can also be so draining. We probably need to take a step back from it at times. My husband keeps trying to get me off the message boards as I get a little too obsessed.
Yes he will help me through this thanks. Just hope I can get some zzz’s to help me face whatever tomorrow might bring!

How are you feeling today?

Hey, thanks for checking up on me. I’m not sure tbh, I was in a lot of pain during the night and passed two large clots so I think it is now over. Feel quite numb at the minute. Just need to take each hour as it comes, think I need a good cry, sure it will come soon.
Hope you are ok? xx

So sorry to hear this @K0013 😞 sending lots of love to you ❤️

Only advice I can offer is just be kind to yourself. I have suffered 3 miscarriages, two early ones and a later one. I am now currently 35+2 which I never ever thought would happen. So there is hope for you ❤️ just take as much time as you need and when you are ready to try again , it will happen , although I know it probably doesn't feel like it right now. Xxx

Thank you little fox I appreciate it and it is so good to hear positive news after mc’s congratulations, not long to go now xx

Make sure you rest and just do want you want to do at your own pace.
I spent four days hiding under the duvet. Four days later I decided to get on with some housework. I think I cried the entire day on and off.
Took the dog for a walk and buried what was the egg sac and placenta under a tree on my favourite dog walk route. Felt a bit better after that.
By about a week I began 'looking up' and feeling ready to get in with life.
Now 3 weeks later feeling okay I suppose despite my energy levels are shit.

I will do thank you, I’m getting more cramping, was hoping it would be over with since I passed the sac.
Glad you are doing ok, hope your energy picks up soon too xx

Could the cramps be after pains. I had random pains for about 4 days after. Just as I thought about speaking to my Dr they went so I didn't bother.
Take painkillers. Don't suffer. You can take ibuprofen now and that will help.

My blood of results were on the lowest level they could have been to meet the don't panic criteria. Will continue with my iron pills for another weeks as I'm on holiday next week and don't want to feel crap.

Iron pills sound like a good idea, hope you are ok for your holiday next week! Yes it probably was after pains, seems to have died down now. I’ve given up on the pain killers and decided to have a cider instead, probably not the best idea but sod it!

Bless you. As soon as I felt okay i went full steam ahead with my favourite gins and wines!

How's are feeling today?
