Missed miscarriage at 6w

[AlmostLondoner]

Hello. Can someone who experienced missed miscarriage tell me if it's normal that brown spotting turned into pinkish discharge but no blood or cloths? Been spotting since Saturday and I really want to avoid D&C. Not sure how to help it.

Thank you

Vacuuming saw me mc at work. An intact 8 week old foetus...

Sorry I don't quite understand 🤔

The motion of enthusiastic vacuuming started actual contractions.

@easterbunnyiswindowshopping oh, I would never thought of that! I was vacuuming hour ago but maybe not enthusiastically enough 🙄😅 I might do some jumping jacks or something 🙄🙄🙄

@AlmostLondoner hi op really sorry for your loss. Maybe call your local epu and ask how long to expect the spotting to turn into bleeding ? I decided to take the tablets for my mmc as I just wanted it over with personally

@thunderonlyhappenswhenits unfortunately my country doesn't allow those pills (stupid 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️).

I called my obgyn office and nurse said to come once I finish bleeding even though I told her I am only having brown discharge. I might wait for a big longer and maybe call again? I really don't want D&C 😢

OP are you currently 6w? Or are you further along in dates but miscarried at 6w?

I'm very sorry for your loss.

However, it's not really a MMC if it happened that early & you are bleeding.

At 6w, it may be the case that your blood loss will be minimal as it is so early.

For now, I would monitor what's happening. It sounds v unlikely you withdraw require an ERPC (previously called D&C)

I've experienced pregnancy loss including MMC (15 weeks) so do understand how hard this is.

A scan on the Tuesday morning showed no hb. I passed on the Thursday afternoon.. Not sure if it was different as I have dc and given birth before...

@EarringsandLipstick I should be around 11w now but fetus died at 6w, or measured 6w no heartbeat. I've known for 2 weeks now.

All is happening is occasional belly pain and some spotting which is becoming lighter. No proper bleeding or passing tissue 🤷

I finally miscarried at 11.5 weeks with a 6w sized foetus. Hope it’s over for you soon 💕

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Is there any particular reason you don’t want a D&C? Having gone through a natural miscarriage and 2 D&Cs for MMCs, I’d take the D&C any day.

They can also test the tissue for possible causes of miscarriage so sometimes there’s useful information for other pregnancies.

@Machina01 mostly because it's risky and quite unnatural. But I won't avoid it if obgyn says it's necessary of course.

@Pamparam I am sorry for your loss. I hope it will happen soon for me too
