Default No baby, No D&C, Now what?

SO, I was told I miscarried today. I spotted for 7 days but nothing heavy. And today dr said my "womb is empty" after a vag ultrasound. He told me to wait for my peroid and then ttc again. I am so lost......

Alexis- I am sorry about your miscarriage. I was praying you would get good news today. I can only tell you how things were for me. I m/c'd at 5 1/2 weeks. No symptoms leading up to it. I woke up one morning and had bright red bleeding. I had cramping slightly worse than I normally get with my period and some clots passed (nothing really significant). It lasted for 3 or 4 days and I thought it would take forever to get my period back, but it showed up 32 days later...almost miraculous for me because the closest to an average cycle length for me is about 45-50 days. Hopefully, you have already passed all the tissue and you don't need a D&C. I wish there was something more I could say that would make you feel better. Take time to grieve and take care of yourself!

Sending hugs. I'm sorry for your loss.

With my m/c I just started bleeding and passing clots one day, no signs leading up to it. I never saw anything on the ultrasound, I was almost 5 weeks. I don't get AF on my own, so I took Provera 5 weeks after the bleeding stopped.

I'm sorry for you loss hun.. you're in the right place.. I miscarried for a couple weeks, well I spotted then started to hemmorage badly for a couple weeks then finally had to have my baby removed because I was loosing too much blood...

I had a terrible feeling of loss after my D & C and sometimes tried to convince myself I still had that baby in there and this was a mistake. I had pregnancy symptoms for weeks afterwards and it was hard to know my belly wasn't going to get big and my babyclothes were all for nothing.. I can't say when that feeling goes away.. If you feel ur ready to try again after AF then by all means go for it. If not take all the time you need and when you're ready go for it and hopefully that lost feeling will ease in time.

oh it must be so hard for you, i mc a week and a half ago. i'm still in a bit of shock but when i read what happened to you i thought i'd let you know what happened to me.

i was spotting brown for seven days like you, 6 weeks pregnant and i went to the toilet and seen a bit of red blood. so i went to hospital and they did a vaginal US said that my uterus was empty, but a mass was in my cervix, but lining still there. My cervix was still closed so they advised that until it opens im not going to get most of the bleed yet. the next day i got lots of clotting and blood and cramps. and 2 days later i went back to another hospital and they said that there is no need for a d & c, uterus empty. i didn't bleed as much as i do in an af. they told me the same thing, wait a month and try again. it seems so cold doesn't it? its such a horrible experiance.

the best advise i got was,
*dont listen to peoples opinions because its a situation whereas most people dont know what to say so they end up saying something thats quite stupid. (which has happened so many times to me). one of the girls i work with said "oh, maybe your body knows your not mentally ready yet" - so rude and inconciderate, and wrong!
*take time to grieve, grieving is love and you dont have to make any decisons or be anywhere, just take one day at a time. at it will get easier.
*everyone grieves differently, dont expect your dh to react the same way you do. it can put unnessary pressure on a relationship in the difficult time. my dh has gone very quiet and doesn't really want to talk about it, which is hard but im trying to let him be.

if you feel you didn't get good enough diagnosis dont be affraid to get a second opinion. i felt lost too, i got caught up in the fertility journey, then got pregnant and i was exited - reading books, watching diet etc and all of a sudden it came crashing to a halt and now its like i dont know what to do with myself.

Im sorry about your loss *hug*, feel free to PM if you want to.

Pinkkitty - every word you said rings true in my heart. I had my d/c on tues 10/28 found out had partial molar pregnancy. still trying to cope with it all. baby died at 10w6d. found out at 11w6d. d/c was one week later.

my world has been about ttc for a few years now and even more so this past year. everything has come crashing down & I don't know where to start.

My thoughts and prayers are with you...I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. I had 2 m/c this past year the first was around 13 weeks and the second was around 7 weeks, and both were blighted ovums where they said it was just an empty sac. The second m/c was less physically painful and the bleeding seemed to stop earlier. I hope that you physically recover soon as I know it's just a physical reminder of the pain. I will pray that you will be able try again soon.
