Hi everyone. This forum was my go to in the weeks that I thought I was pregnant so wanted to share my experience here.
I found out I was expecting on 30th Aug 2022 at 3 weeks and 5 days. Had a scan at 5 weeks 6 days, the embryo was right on date and had a heart beat. I have some antibodies (no confirmed autoimmune disease) but was put on clexane injections and aspirin to reduce any risks. I did not suffer from any pregnancy symptoms right from the start, I assume it is normal for some.
Had light brown discharge once in week 6 - ignored it because it went away. I also had bearable back pain at 7 weeks, which again can be common in early pregnancy.
At 8 weeks 5 days I had light brown discharge everytime i wiped, I live in a country where private medical care is readily available and I got a scan done the very next day - it showed that the baby had not grown beyond 6 weeks and 2 days and there was no heartbeat anymore. A missed miscarriage essentially.
Dr gave me the option to wait for the body to expel naturally or go for medical management. I chose medical management - three doses of oral medicine and my body still refused to expel the sac. I then had a D&C yesterday. Now at home - healing physically and mentally.
Sharing here with a community that I was turning to daily in the past 6 weeks to deal with every anxious thought that I was having. It did not end well for me, but sending positive energies to every expecting mother here. In the memory of my Angel 30th Aug 2022 to 6th Oct 2022.
