Just looking for some perspective really. I had a miscarriage last august - basically a missed one I think as I went for a private scan around 8w5 after some spotting and it turned out I was measuring under 6 weeks. I had virtually no symptoms the entire time so I’d always felt something was odd but assumed I was “lucky”..

I’m now pregnant again, had some very light spotting at 6weeks so went to the EPU. They (somewhat worryingly) measured me at more like 4-5weeks but said they weren’t concerned since it’s early and I was pretty sure I had ovulated at least 5 days late (based on tracking). They put me on progesterone and the spotting has stopped. They booked me in for an appointment 2 weeks later.

The appointment is coming up soon and it occurred to me today that I still.. have absolutely no symptoms. (Other than feeling tired but think that’s really more January and coffee withdrawal..). I’m starting to worry this may be another mmc and that maybe the progesterone is stopping any bleeding..

Somewhat ridiculously I also keep worrying that I don’t know how I will manage a really busy and key week at work following the appointment if it’s bad news..

Anyway just kind of posting for reassurance of positive stories and/or that I’ll manage this either way.. the anxiety post mc is very real :/. I really wish I could share this with others beyond DH, the constant repressed anxiety is so unhealthy, but honestly I can’t bring myself to discuss it out loud so post here instead!

@Ceramic272 Hey OP 👋🏼 saw this post and didnt want to read and run 🙏🏼 I know exactly what your going through as we had a MMC in October last year, I went for a private scan at 9 weeks to be told baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks and had no heart beat 😞 We opted for a D&C management as we have a DS who is 4 and I didn't want to scare at home if I was in pain!

If it makes you feel any better I had every symptom you could think of right up until the day of my procedure... I was so so sick 🤢 I had no cramping or bleeding but had the same terrible outcome!

Try not to worry about the lack of symptoms you may be just one of the lucky few who don't have many 🙏🏼 I am currently just over 5 weeks pregnant again with our rainbow baby 🌈 and have hardly had any symptoms this time around... so we shall see 🤷🏻‍♀️

The whole thing is super stressful 😩 I wish we would be able to enjoy the pregnancy and I'm sure once we've both seen our little ones with a heartbeat we may calm down a bit 🙏🏼

Always here if you want a chat ✨ Please keep me posted on how you get on 🙏🏼 It may be worth asking your doctors if they will give you a blood test to check your levels? It gives you a better idea of how your HCG levels are progressing 🥰
