I am so sorry for your loss

When I lost my baby, it took a little over a month for my period to start again. When it came back it was a bit heavier and crampier then normal, but the next one was back to normal. It took about 2 weeks for my BETA to return to zero.

Your in my prayers, ***HUGS***

I'm so sorry for your loss! Everyone's body responds differently to this, but my experience with my five week loss was that I started spotting when my beta was still in the 200 range. It just depends on the individual, and I hope that the physical part is as easy as possible for you!

I completely agree that the experience of losing a baby changes a person just as we were changed when we conceived. We became mothers, then we became mothers who are grieving. No one could ever prepare for such a thing. We simply must find a way to cope. Religious faith helps for some, and others find another path for a while or forever. I personally found some very low and dark places during the months following my losses, and I hope never to see those again. The love of my husband and the whisper of hope for a family kept me going. I hope something can be a guiding light during this time in your life, but just take your time. Many hugs!

I am so sorry for your loss. If the baby stopped growing have they suggested a D&C or let your body try to pass it naturally
FYI~~
If you baby stopped growing at 6 wks then it was not a chemical pregnancy. A chemical pregnancy is when the baby doesn't implant at all and you m/c by 4-5 wks (there is no baby found on u/s's). I have had 3 of them and one regular m/c *blighted ovum*

Just my experience on hcg levels...my last m/c was the worst by far I think because the hcg levels just wouldn't go down...I bled on and off for 3 weeks. Like you our baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks and I was given a pill to help things along...for the life of me I can't remember what it was now. My hcg levels at our u/s that confirmed our loss was 10,200...they slowly dropped. I had 6 betas done in 3 weeks. I wanted to m/c naturally but since this experience I won't opt for it again. It was like losing my baby again each time I went in for a beta.

Things happen so fast one day you are pregnant, getting ready to have a little one that you longed so much for and then something like this happens and in one instant your dreams, your hope of the future is ripped away from you...that is a big change in itself. We each grieve differently but it sounds like you faith that your lord will pick you back up and carry you through your darkest hour. I pray you may find some peace soon. (((hugs)))

Nicole, my heart breaks for you (and for all of us) I miscarried my first at 13 weeks and that was 4 months ago.

My doctor actually said one of the most helpful things - I keep coming back to it. She said that as soon as you find out you're pregnant, you imagine how your entire pregnancy will be, what that baby will be like when it's born and all of the milestones in it's life. When you have a loss, that entire lifetime is ripped away, not just those weeks that you were pregnant. This will be hard, but know that many of us have lived through this and you will too!

For I know the plans I have for you, delcares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.

Nicole,

I'm so sorry sweetie! So many of us have been there. I have to have a d&c done when I had one of my losses. I wanted it all over with and my doctor suggested a d&c for me. I was also able to have testing done to see if there was a problem with the baby...which there was nothing that showed up in the chromosomes, however that doesn't mean that the DNA was OK>

Just so you know, you didn't have a chemical pregnancy...that's a bit different. It sounds like you had a blighted ovum. A chemical pregnancy is when the tests are positive and NOTHING forms. Just as rotten, but a little different. You had a sac which had potential.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. It really sucks and so few people understand it.

Take time to grieve. Even though you were pregnant for a short time, it's still a loss of a dream, and that hurts.

I had an early miscarriage. We saw the heartbeat at 6 weeks and when we went in at 8 weeks, there was no heartbeat and the baby had stopped growing. We waited another week to make sure and my RE said that I could m/c naturally. I waited another week, but nothing was happening so I called him and scheduled a D & C. I just couldn't handle this going on for weeks! So, I had a D & C that Friday. I'm glad that I did it that way.

Sending you hugs and blessings of hope for the future.

I'm very sorry for your loss. You may have seen my post that I m/c at around 5 weeks over the holidays, and I can sympathize with your pain. It's just not easy, no matter how far along you are. It's good that you have something (your faith) that you can turn to in times like this. As long as we have some sort of support, it makes it better.

My thoughts are with you.

Nicole,I'm very sorry for your loss. I found out yesterday that I had a miscarriage. Beta level dropped down to 10 yesterday . RE told me to come in tomorrow for another HCG test and take it from there. I was 5 weeks, so I think this was a chemical pregnancy, but not sure. Whatever it was, it hurts. The one thing that I'm happy for is that we at least did get pregnant. And, I know that it can happen. Now its just a matter of time until we get there again. I used Femara to induce o and we did an IUI. So, we're going to go for that again next cycle.

General question: Is there a thread, board that is specifically for people that lost early pregnancies? I have been on the TTC boards for a while, but thought that I'd move to a m/c board for a bit b/c i don't want to bring everyone down on the TTC boards--don't get me wrong, they are wonderful and supportive there, but I feel ike I'm "debbie downer" for ppl that have had BFPs and are progressing. Any good threads you know of?

I decided to take the day off to just be sad. I lost my grandmother a week ago so the death, funeral, burial were all happening aroudn the time that I found out I was preg and now that the funeral is over, the pregnancy is over so I feel particularly empty.
