Well, my little one stopped growing about 2-3 weeks ago. I was bleeding at 5wks 5 days, and the u/s showed just a sac with nothing in it. An u/s a week later showed the sac had grown a little, but still empty. Non-viable. The lining was also trying to break down. I was told to expect to miscarry. A week later, still just spotting. Had another u/s, no real progress. The placenta had detached, but my cervix and everything was still at a standstill. I should be 8wks today, but instead I have finally miscarried.
I took the cytotec last night. It was hell, the contractions had me screaming. And they didn't let up, nor have they yet. They just aren't as bad now. I've been taking two vicodin every four hours since before I put the cytotec in... it hasn't been doing much good. But, I can tell when it's wearing off because it gets more painful, so it's doing something. I was only able to sleep two hours this morning, and that was only after 6 hours of intense pain. I passed out more than went to sleep.
I passed the sac early on, it was much larger than I was thinking it would be. It was not broken or anything. It was in the toilet, and I thought about fishing it out to bury it... but decided against it. I regret that now. I really wish I had
I'm glad it's finally almost over. This was dragged out for a really long time. Last time I m/c'ed quickly and naturally, but I wasn't as far along either.
So, now I am still contracting a bit. Still popping the vicodin like it's candy. I have a consultation appointment scheduled for the end of the month to begin repeat loss testing.
In the meantime...
after two years of TTC, two miscarriages, and 6 rounds of Clomid...
I am officially on a TTC break; duration unknown.
