Those of you waiting it out, How long did it take?
Those of you ladies who chose not to have a D&C, How long did it take for you to m/c naturally. I know last time it felt like forever but I don't remember how long it actually took. This time I am going on 9 weeks. I was pregnant at 6 and not pregnant at 8. I really don't want a D&C if it is not necessary. from your experience how much longer should I wait.
Delila- I went to the Dr. on March 27th and found out the only thing left was a sac. I had no prior bleeding or indication I was miscarrying. I went to the Dr. yesterday 4/12 and they did an u/s still same thing. After leaving I began cramping yesterday and last night and finally began to bleed. So it took me about 3 weeks after finding out however, they thought I had actually probably lost the baby 2 weeks prior to March 27th. That would have been week 8 that I lost and I am would now have been at week 13. Anyway, I was not wanting to have a D&C but the waiting was driving me crazy. I feel for you and I hope you will go naturally soon and avoid a D&C. God bless you. My prayers are with you. Bamaca
Bamaca-
Thanks for the info. My dr is giving me another week if nothing happens by next wednesday he wants to do a D&C. I am hoping for some cramping soon. I don't need another procedure that is not absolutly necessary. I also have had no bleeding or cramping in the last 9 weeks almost 10. No indication of what was happenig. I am sorry you had to go through this too. This is so crappy.
Delila,
I'm sorry about this loss. I hope that something happens quickly for you so that you can move on. Is there any oral medication that will induce shedding the lining, etc.? It might be worth asking.
My own m/c involved spotting at five weeks, then lowered beta, then spotting and not total lining shedding. I know there's still a lining in there because we needed to check for ectopic, and I saw it in there. I guess it will come out at the beginning of the next real cycle. We all do things our own special way, I guess. Unfortunately, we often need some help. I hope it's soon and easy for you.
((HUGS))

I'm so sorry for your loss. With my last m/c, after two and a half weeks I had not passed the last sac (twin pg) and I didn't want a d&c so my dr prescribed cytotec to help it along. It comes in pill form and I had to insert two pills vaginally every four hours up to four times. Usually everything is passed within 48 hours but it took me four days. My dr almost had me repeat the treatment but the first treatment finally worked. Many drs don't seem to discuss this option with their patients but I highly recommend it if you have trouble passing everything naturally and don't want a d&c. I hope this is over for you soon.
((((more hugs))))

I just wanted to give you an update. I woke up on Wednesday (after a couple days of light spotting) I felt like I was bleeding pretty heavy. I went into the bathroom and passed what I assumed was the sac. Sorry for TMI. Anyway, I went back to bed and told my husband that I thought it was mostly over. The a 1/2 hour later I began to hemmorage. I had to go to the ER and have tissue removed that was stuck in my cervix. It was very scary. The dr. was a little puzzled and didn't understand why this happened. He said this was way to much drama for an 8 week loss. Anyway, they are sending the tissue to pathology. Hopefully they will find me some answers. Bamaca
Bamaca-
I hope you are feeling a little better at least physically. I also finally m/c on Wednesday evening. I started with a little spotting on and off Tuesday night and finally at about 3:30 Wednesday the cramps and hemoraging started to kick in. It last about 4 hours. Its friday and I still have some cramping and bleeding. I don't remember it lingering as long last time. I hope you do find out something from the testing. I almost opted for a D&C so I could have the testing, but with my age it is more likely than not a chromesome abnormality caused by my old hardboiled eggs! I am so sorry you had go through such a drama. That stinks. Like you haven't been through enough. Keep us posted and take it easy.

Delila- I am glad that the waiting is over for both of us. That was the worst thing. I am sure now that the reality will kick in for me and I will go through the grief. I haven't really had time with all the drama. I am sorry you are going through this also. Don't think that there isn't an "good egg" among your "hard boiled" ones. My aunt had 5 miscarriages in her late thirties. Then conceived and had a healthy baby at 42. My grandma had a healthy one at 44. I know it stinks because you don't want to have false hope but if we don't have hope, what else do we have? I believe in God and that He has a plan for all of this even though we don't understand it now. I will be praying for you. I will post, when I find out what the pathology report showed. I hope they find something but I am also afraid they will find something. If that makes any sense. Take care of yourself. Bamaca
Bamaca-Thanks for the hope. It was good to hear about your aunt and your grandmother. I know I must have a good egg in there somewhere, but I just don't know how many times I can go through this. It might be a little different if I got pregnant on my own. IVF is sooooooooo expensive and I can't take much more of the injections and bw and drugs etc... I am going to see an adoption lawyer in a few weeks. I am trying to be positive and figure if I start the process and drop a few..40 pounds maybe just maybe with the help of glucophage and clomid by some miracle I will get pregnant on my own. We always wanted to adopt at least one anyway. You always here stories of all these women who get pregnant after or during adoption. Oh well I don't have to make up my mind for at least 3 months. That gives me sometime to drop a few. Good luck to you and I hope you get some positive info that you can use from the pathology report.
Delila
