First loss-Intro

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
Hi, ladies.  Just taking a moment to introduce myself.  We have been trying for #2 for a few months and I had a surprise BFP on Monday, 10/21/13 at 6w0d (I chart regularly and initial HPTs after 2ww were negative, so I had written off this cycle).  On Saturday, I had cramping and brown spotting.  On Sunday, I had heavy bleeding with clots.  An ultrasound on Monday, 7w0d revealed a SCH, but the placenta was still high and the heartbeat was strong, so we were hopeful.  After two days of bed rest and continued heavy bleeding, I went in for a checkup today and the ultrasound revealed no heartbeat.  I started taking Misoprostol this afternoon and am waiting for it to start working.  I've been lurking on the board this evening and have been encouraged by the support shown.  Thank you all.  

BFP #2 10/21/13, MC 10/30/13 at 7w2d

    So sorry for your loss. This group has been a place of good support even for the few days I have been here. I do not have experience to offer with the misoprostol, but hugs and thoughts to you during this hard time.

    I'm very sorry for your loss! I had a d&c so I cannot comment either on misoprostol. I hope that the process is quick and easy with it though. My only advice is to give yourself time to grieve and process everything that has happened. There are lots of great women here - feel free to talk to them and gather either support. Wishing you all the best! *hugs*

    I am so sorry for your loss!!  I hope misoprostol works for you and that you have help taking care of your toddler.  There are some great descriptions of people who took misoprostol, search some of their comments.  I didn't have a great experience with it, I ended up with a d&c 5 weeks later.  That was mostly because my doctor never did a follow up ultrasound to make sure that everything had passed.  I ended up pushing for one and I was right.  Many people have better experiences then I did, I don't want to scare you!  Just make sure your doctor is going to do a follow up appointment!  ((hugs))

    I'm sorry for your loss.  I took Misoprostol 2 weeks ago for my MC.  I honestly had already started the MC process and it was just to help finish it.  It seemed to work.  I bled for a total of 6 days I think and haven't bled since.  This isn't an easy thing to go through and I'm sorry you find yourself here.

    Thanks, ladies.  I really appreciate the support.  The first round of miso, (three doses) didn't have any effect, so my doctor has put me on a second round.  Hopefully I'll have some results this time.  I have a follow-up ultrasound scheduled for next Thursday.
