Thanks you and some info on my m/c

ellenaxo

I really appreciate all of your thoughts.

In case you are interested:

I had minor spotting last week and went to the OB around 7 weeks and was told that I had a cervical polyp and it was normal to spot/bleed. My OB said that my cervix was closed and had me schedule my first u/s for this coming week. Well, a few days after I saw my OB, the spotting turned into a little bit of bleeding and then at times, it was a lot and bright red. I just knew something wasn't right and it couldn't just be from the polyp. I also noticed that my boobs weren't sore and I wasn't nauseous like I had been. I ended up talking to the on call OB and went to the ER to get an u/s. I needed to ease my mind.?

When they did the u/s, there was no baby. I'm not sure at what point it stopped developing or if it ever started to develop. I'll see my OB on Friday and hopefully get some more information.

I never thought that I would be this heartbroken. I knew before going to the ER, what they were going to tell me. I thought I prepared myself, but boy was I wrong. Once I walked out of the hospital, I lost it and I've been a mess for the past 9 hours since then. I'm taking tomorrow off to try to have some "me" time.?

I am so completely heartbroken for you, Ellen! I just can't imagine. I'm so sorry for your loss, but want to commend you for being so open and raw about what you're feeling. You're extremely brave! As you know, you, DH and Hannah are in my thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS)))

That is a blighted ovum.  I had the same thing exept I was not bleeding at all and had no signs of  miscarriage and went in for an early US and there was a sac, yolk sac and no baby.  As per my OB, that means that something was wrong from the get go and your body refused to "make a baby".  They are usually a genetic defect that result in the blighted ovum.  I am sorry you are going through this.  It sucks, I know! Do you need to have surgery? The D&E wasn't bad at all if you do decide to go that route and I got my period at 4 weeks 3 days later (quick).  GL

I'm not sure if I need any surgery. The OB from my practice that was on call didn't seem to think so. I'll see my dr. on Friday and hopefully get some more information.?

I'm so so sorry for your loss.  The "me" time is a good idea.  Give yourself as long as it takes to heal.  You'll probably experience a huge range of emotions, and they're all okay.  I've had 2 m/c and 2 D&C's. Physically, the surgery is fine.  Emotionally, I was wrecked for a long time.  My first m/c was my very first pg.  My 2nd was just prior to this pregnancy.  I thought I'd be okay since I'd been through it before and I already had two healthy kids.  I tried to move on and be normal, but I was kidding myself.  A baby is a baby and a loss is a loss, no matter when in the pregnancy or if you've got healthy kids at home.  It's so hard.  I'm so sorry you're dealing with this but we're all here if you ever need to talk about it.

You can totally do the natural miscarriage route as many people do.  I just wanted it over and opted for the D & E.  I found the ladies on the miscarriage board very helpful during this time.  ((((HUGS)))))
