I've never written on a forum before but I'm hoping it will help, myself and my wife started our ivf journey in September, was lucky enough to fall pregnant on the first try, however it hasn't ended with good news,on 22nd December we were told our baby had no heart beat, I should have been measuring at 9 weeks but was showing at 6, I decided to go down the natural route of the miscarriage, still waiting for it to happen, I feel so lost in my emotions, this is the hardest thing I've had to go through, I never thought we would be grieving our first baby, we were able to see a strong heart beat on our early 7 week scan, I don't know if I feel better or worse that we got to see the heart beat, you get so attached as soon as you see it and the last thing you expect is to be waiting to have a miscarriage, it might sound bad but all I want is for the miscarriage to happen and to try for the next one, I think that's the only thing that is going to help us, i got a tattoo of a lady bird as that was the size of the baby when they passed away, in a strange way it has helped. Sorry for the long message, just writing my feelings down, I'm so sorry for any one who has to go through this, a part of me will always be missing and its very hard to come to terms with that

So sorry for your loss. I had a missed miscarriage earlier this month, baby was measuring at 8 weeks with no heartbeat when I should have been nearing 12 weeks. I went for a scan as I started bleeding so I wanted to see if it would pass, but 2 weeks later the sac was still intact and had actually grown a tiny bit even though the baby had passed slightly. I decided to have an mva on 16th December with a local anaesthetic. Fortunately for me it was pretty pain free but it depends on the person. It's been hard but physically I've recovered quickly. Sending hugs x

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, its awful that its at Christmas as well, I'm glad it wasn't painful for you, I'm hoping it will happen naturally, they said it can take up to 4 weeks, but if nothing has happened then I will need to go back and talk about the next options, it just feels like a never ending heartbreak, sending hugs back x
