Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Miscarriage at 6 weeks

Got back from the ER last night - was told I had a miscarriage due to chemical pregnancy.  There was *nothing* on the ultrasound - not an embryo, no clump of cells, nothing.  What makes it so hard is I had just told my 2 sisters-in-law, who are both pregnant at 34 weeks and 20 weeks, that we would be a trio.

People have already told me it's not my fault and there was nothing we could've done but it still hurts and I can't stop crying.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss.  Take care of yourself during this difficult time, and if you just can't bear to be around your SILs, that's okay and totally normal.  (((Hugs)))

  • Take comfort that I'm going through something like this, too, right now. I had a blighted ovum -- so the egg fertilized, and implanted, but nothing grew inside it. So, now I sit and wait while my body gets to work doing its job. It's been 3 weeks of a rollercoaster of emotions: positive pregnancy test (OMG), a week of thinking "what the heck! holy cow! what are we doing?! haha" and then the ultrasound showed a sac with nothing in it. I went back today (a week after the first ultrasound) to confirm that nothing's growing, and indeed my body is in the process of pushing everything out. Take some time for yourself -- that's what I'm doing. I've given myself a few days to do nothing and to eat Halloween candy. I'm already in my pajamas ready for some bad TV. Even though we weren't TTC at all, I am feeling let down and am much more emotional than I thought I'd be.  So I'm giving myself permission to unplug for a while.

    You have every right to be sad now, and you're allowed to be. Take some time to do what you want to do - and to deal with this process however you feel is best. My thoughts are with you and others on this board going through this same thing right now.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

    My thoughts and prayers are with you while you walk this awful road. I hope you find comfort and support here, as I know the women here have been a huge source of support to me.
