Missed Miscarriage

[01204Kally]

Hi all, I had my tablets yesterday to help me on my way with my missed miscarriage;

I took the tablets around 6pm, had excruciating pain around 8pm, passed clots in the toilet and continued with bad pains for a few hours, and today the pain has calmed right down and am only experiencing mild cramps and light bleeding.

I know the bleeding and pain may come and go - just wondering if there is much more to pass as I was only measuring at weeks and had passed black/brown blood in the run up to the miscarriage for approx 2 weeks.

Any advice/ own experiences?

Measuring at 6 weeks**

Hi Kally,

I am going through the same thing so I'm so sorry to hear and have opted for medical management today. I have called the hospital to let them know but no nurses are available and they will call me back.

Ive never had a missed/delayed miscarriage before so no advice to offer there. My previous two were natural miscarriages and I remember them being painful for a little while until I passed a few clots and pouring with blood, and the pain subsided to slight aches and cramps. andbled for a few more weeks before it stopped . Waiting for my next period was excruciating, like it would never turn up..

Hope this will help to bump the thread as well and let us know how you get on. Sending love your way.

My miscarriage at 6 weeks had very little to pass. It was all done in a couple of hours then it was just like a period (which for me are light).

Thank you so much for your reply and I am so sorry that you are also going through this awful time.

If there is anything I can help you with at all please do ask away.

Could I ask - how long did you wait to try again after your natural miscarriages?

Sending you love xxxxx

In all honesty, I had never even heard of a missed miscarriage. Completely taken aback by it all xxx

I had a mmc with my 2nd pregnancy. Had never heard of it until I went for my 12 week scan so can totally understand your feelings. I bled heavily and painfully after the pills but only for a short time. I had stupidly gone out and so we stopped at the hospital on the way home and they actually pulled out the last of the big clots. After that the bleeding and the pain was much less. More like a light period.
I had my mmc in November. Our son was born the following October. I think I waited one cycle for a normal period before trying again.

Take care of yourself.

That gives me so much hope Milkittillturnittocheese.

This was our first time TTC ever, and it really threw a spanner in the works, however want to get back up, dust it off and try again.

Would I be right in saying there are speculations that you might fall on quite quick after a MMC?

My first pregnancy ended with a MMC. We'd had a scan and were dated 7+4 and then a few weeks later I had bleeding and then rescanned. I thought I was 10 weeks but from the size they guessed I'd lost around 8 weeks. I opted for surgical removal but being Christmas had a long wait and ended up miscarrying myself at home. Pain got intensely worse for about 2 hours. I spent an hour on the toilet passing clots and lots of blood, then it eased off and changed to a heavy period and then normal. My cycles were irregular for the next 3 then I fell pregnant again and that one stuck, she's now 4.
Sorry you are going through this.

I had a mmc in July last year , I found out at my 12 week scan that heartbeat stopped at 8 weeks. Such a shock as I had no symptoms. Sorry for your loss I know exactly how it feels it’s awful. 5 cycles after my first period from the mmc I’m 6 weeks pg again ❤️ Praying for my rainbow after the trauma. Wishing all the luck and love to you for the future xxxx

Hi Kally,

Thanks, if I think of anything I definitely will know who to ask :) I

After my first miscarriage, I tried as soon as the bleeding stop, only did the deed a couple of times and got pregnant straight away without a period returning. Apparently you're more fertile after a miscarriage? After my second miscarriage though, it took a while for my period to return and then it was a good seven months before I got pregnant with my third.

I just want to wish you all good luck. Following my mmc (2nd pregnancy) and my son the following year we had another successful pregnancy after that too. Try not to be disheartened. It's a cruel trick of nature but no reason to believe it will happen again.

Hey there.

So sorry you're going through this. I had a missed miscarriage in July at 8 weeks (baby was only 7 weeks and no heartbeat). I opted for the surgical procedure and was physically fine very fast. You just go to sleep and wake up, it's done. Emotionally it can take a while to get over.
Make sure you have someone with you.

Thank you all so much for all of your responses, it really does help with the healing process to see how strong and brave women and partners are through such difficult times.

I guess something to be grateful for is that our bodies recognise that something might not be quite right, and responds as best as it knows how to. I am forever hopeful that we will all continue to have successful and happy pregnancies and even more grateful that we are not alone and can all support one another xxxxx

I had the tablets once for a mmc and I remember it basically being like a heavy period. But far more crampy.

I’m so sorry you are experiencing this.

And I did take quite a while before I was ready to try again. Had a natural miscarriage in May though and am pregnant now. 11 weeks

Sorry you’re going through this. I had my 12 week scan today and found out I’ve had a mmc, no idea when it stopped growing. Just trying to decide what to do, am in shock still. Leaning towards surgery maybe.
