I am still trying to figure out how I am going to get through all this. I had my f/u appointment today for my D&C and he said the tissue came back fine and he is doing some blood work to see if there is some underlying issue. This is my second pregnancy and second m/c. Both did not have a baby by the time I found out I would m/c through u/s. I am so upset that I don't even have a baby to see on an u/s, just an empty thick uterus. ARG!
Both were missed miscarriages as well. First was induced with cytotec and at least I was able to have a clot about 2" in diameter that I could half-heartedly call my baby and (sad to say) I look at it and hold it for a while in a ziplock bag before turning it over to the dr. to examine. (sry TMI) This second one was D&C so I didn't even have a gross looking red chuck to hold.
I know this all sounds so gross, but I feel so cheated that I couldn't even see a partial glimps of my babies. I just got to see a gapping empty uterus. I have nothing to hold, remember, bury, or just have proof that it existed. No little head, hands, legs, arms, hearbeat, anything! This all infuriates me to no end!
I just want to breathe again and feel like one day I can have some of my family living with me. Right now I have DH, a dad and a grandpa. All the rest are in heaven. I am so sick of death, it just surrounds me. I have not gone a calendar year with out a family member or close friend dying for 7 years. 7 F-ing years! Can someone in my life stay alive!
I am so sorry that I am saying all this to you all. I just don't know where else to take all this. I'm done. Amd with all that, I think I need to take a break from posting for a little bit. Thanks everyone for all you do for me during this tough time! Venting done.

I'm so sorry for yoru losses. I just sufffered a m/c myself last week at 6w2d. Didn't get to see anything either...by the time I started bleeding and got to the hospital..the ultrasound didn't show anything and my beta was already down to 35.
Prayers and Positive thoughts coming your way.
I know how you feel about feeling cheated. I feel the same way. Because I have PCOS, I thought I was having a really heavy period, but then it got extremely bad, which prompted me to go to the doctor, and that's when I found out I'd been pregnant and had a miscarriage. There was nothing left.
I feel so bad that I wasn't able to give her a proper parting. She deserved more than what she got. (I use female pronouns because that's what I instinctively use to refer to her. I think the baby must have been a girl.)
Take care of yourself. {{hugs}}
