Intro: sorry a bit long (Trigger: Living children mentioned)

lightrox

Hi ladies I've been lurking for the past month. I was diagnosed with a blighted ovum at 6 weeks. We hoped just my dates were wrong but unfortunately this pregnancy wasn't meant to be for us. I had opted to try and miscarry naturally since I had spotting and some cramping hoping I wouldn't have to have surgery. I don't do well with medicine so I chose not to go that route. I'm posting today since I'm now officially in the loss group. I did wait a long time 5 weeks after being diagnosed to finally have a D&C since my body didn't want to do it on its own. And even though I'm sad, I'm also kind of relieved since now I have closure. I had a great experience and wish I had opted earlier to get a D&C since I still had all the pregnancy symptoms but no baby and every ultrasound with an empty sac was like a punch in the gut. I have two boys and hoping that this baby would have been our Girl our third and last. I did have a wonderful experience today. I had the best doctor, nurses, and anestesiologist. The procedure was quick and I'm recovering I have no pain but lots of bleeding. I expected this since I had a fairly large SCH and after having my other children I tend to bleed for a very long time after giving birth to them. I just wanted to say hi and that I'm sorry we are all here but I'm thankful for the support you all show everyone. Lots of love and thoughts to everyone on this board.

I'm sorry you waited so long just to end up having a d&c at the end. I can completely understand you wanting to have it happen naturally.

I'm sorry you are here but welcome.
