I just found out today that my baby only measures 6 w 1 d and there was no visible heartbeat.
I have been spotting for a week now and it increases after a BM
just wondering how long it will take for me to start bleeding?
the doc said there was a bleed in my uterus beside the sac
they want me to miscarry on my own if possible.
I am 9 almost 10 weeks
I am really scared
in Canada where I live they don't do d&c unless absolutely necessary and I don't really want one unless necessary.
I have a follow up u/s next thursday just in case something new has happened, if no bleeding by then they will talk to me about options.
Katie--I am so sorry that you are going through this. {{{HUGS}}} I hope that you can m/c on your own and you won't need medical intervention...that would be so much better for you. You will be in my prayers!!
My first m/c happened just like yours. When I found out, I was supposed to be 11 weeks along, but I measured less than 6 weeks. I chose not to have a D&C for personal reasons. I do wish somebody would've told me what to expect...I was so scared and felt so alone. For me, the doc had me stop my progesterone supplements. I think I found out on a Wednesday that I wasn't going to have a baby. By Friday night, I started to bleed. It took about 7 hours for me to have the m/c. To me, it felt just like 7 hours of labor pains. If you haven't done so, I'd ask your doc for some heavy duty pain meds.
hi, katie. i know i wrote you in the other thread, but know i'm praying for you! i've had 2 miscarriages both at 11 weeks and nothing took or can still take the pain away. about a week after i found out i lost them i started making jewelry and named my babies, it made the process a little easier. if i can do anything for you, please let me know!

I am so sorry for your loss. I too just had a miscarriage, although i was not far along. It is a horrible thing to experience. I was only 5 weeks along, but i bled started bleeding immediately and bled for about 5 days. I wish you the best of luck, and i will pray for you and your family.
I was about 9 weeks when I miscarried. Well, that is when my miscarriage was confirmed. I'm going through IVF and my blood levels were good, at week 6 we saw the little one and then around week 9 the ultrasound did not show a heart beat at all. My "levels" (not sure what they are measuring) have been dropping, which is supposedly a good sign that I will have a period on my own. But, after being told that I had a miscarriage at the end of May, I have yet to have a period. I had some cramping earlier on and thought that I would start, but still nothing. I go in for more blood work tomorrow. The MD said they want to avoid a D&C if possible b/c I guess you typically need to wait longer to re-try IVF b/c they really damage your uterine lining when they do that procedure. Not sure if this helps at all but I think it can take up to 6 weeks to have a period on your own after a miscarriage. Patience, I guess!?! I am right there with you, though.

Reason: mistake
I am so sorry for your loss. I too had a miscarriage last year on April 6th. I have two boys both conceived on fertility drugs. Then in March of 2007 I found out I was pregnant without the use of anything. We were not trying to be honest we were happy with two children. God blessed us twice and we were so thankful. I went to the doctor in March not feeling well and they told me I was pregnant we were so thrilled. Then on April 6th I started to spot and within a few hours I was flooding. I did go to the hospital and I was examined with an u/s they said I was having a mc and to just let my body progress with it. We were devestated. I may not have held my baby in my arms (I was only about 8 weeks) but I held him or her in my heart everyday. On the positive side I went back for my 8 week check up and was pregnant again ...we were shocked and scared but I gave birth to a healthy baby girl on January 9th. (3 weeks early) Still not a day goes by that I do not say a prayer for the baby we lost.
Make sure you grieve...that was the best advice someone gave me... I will keep you in my prayers.

Katie,
I am so sorry for your loss. I started clomid around the same time as you. I had been lurking on the clomid thread back in April and was so happy for you when you got a bfp, and I am so sorry to hear about the miscarriage. You are in my thoughts.
