Thought this was the m/c

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

I thought I had naturally miscarried. I started spotting last Sunday, found out about our loss Tuesday (and that I need a laparotomy to remove a large, complex cyst that possibly could indicate cancer...surprise), started heavy bleeding Wednesday and Thursday, then spent the weekend severely cramping, passing pretty large clots and tissue. Because I have surgery scheduled I couldn't take anything other than Tylenol, which never helps me, even with a plain old headache. I woke up this morning and the bleeding had finally slowed to just light spotting. I was sure that was my m/c, and even though it was horrible, at least I'd be able to avoid the d&c. 

I had my pre-op appointment today. They did an ultrasound, and NOTHING looked any different. There was the sac, and fetus, clear as day. This week had been HORRIBLE and really, I was no closer to the end. They'll do the d&C tomorrow while I'm under general anesthesia, so at least it'll finally be over.  I've been so shocked and scared about the surgery that I don't know that I've been able to truly grieve the loss of my pregnancy. I cry every day, more than once a day.  I just want the bad news to stop coming so I can move on and start to heal. I thank you all for being on this board and for listening and for your encouragement. It really sucks that we all have to be here.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I did feel a sense of relief after my d&c (which was a week after they diagnosed the missed m/c). I've been sad, too, but knowing it's officially over is helping me to move on.

    Iggy, you'll be in my T&P tomorrow for your surgery.  I know this is a hard time and I wish you the best.  I went through a similar experience with the m/c.  I took cytotec to induce my m/c that wasn't happening naturally.  After 3 days of bleeding, clots and tissue, I thought I was done, only to find via u/s that it was barely changed.  Then I had my D&C.  I'm sorry you're going through this.
