i had my first appointment with the high risk specialist today and she did a trans vag ultrasound that showed that my baby stopped developing at 7wks and had no heartbeat. this is our fourth miscarriage in a row so im pretty disappointed. I have no symptoms of mc, no spotting or cramping and all of my pregnancy symptoms, ms, sore boobs, bloating are still going strong so it was a complete surprise to me.
now im at home debating whether to take the misoprostol or not. I was in shock when i decided to go that route and now that i've thought about it im not sure its right for me. Im kind of afraid because ive had complications and bleeding problems with my miscarriages before, i dont want to end up being one of the horror stories, im thinking i may just call back tomorrow and ask for a d&c instead.
thoughts and prayers to everyone else who has had a miscarriage or is currently miscarrying
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
I am so so sorry for your loss! I also came from Feb 15! I had a D&C last week. Mentally, it is what I needed. I personally needed the emotional roller coaster to stop...and all my pregnancy symptoms I was having were adding to my emotional turmoil since I knew that I felt pregnant but had a blighted ovum. Good luck with whatever you choose. This group has been really supportive.
@suzieq9980 I did the d&c for myself, too. I had a natural m/c and found the experience horrible. I wanted to not have to deal with the 'passing' part and for how awful the d&c was (I wasn't sedated), I still feel it was better than my natural m/c. Hugs to all on this thread.
thank you all for the support and advice it means a lot to me right now, my heart is broken for all of us in here. It is comforting to see some familiar faces although im so sorry its under these circumstances (im sorry if that came out weird, my brains still a bit foggy)
i think i am going to call for a d&c tomorrow. i dont think there is any wrong choice in how to deal with a mmc. except with my history of bleeding issues and complications i would be more comfortable in a hospital setting where help is at hand if needed. i had a d&c with my last MC which was fast, uncomplicated and painless (twilight sedation) plus it gave me the finality of it being overwith so i could focus on the grieving and healing process without further worry.
Im scheduled to follow up with the specialist afterwards to run tests and try to find the reasons for this happening, im trying not to overwhelm myself with the possibilities of those outcomes but it's hard. Im sorry this post is so long, i've barely spoken to anyone all day and now im pouring my heart out on here. its so helpful to have this support group, I hadn't told anyone so it helps to not feel completely alone in this. I will be praying for peace, comfort and healing for all of us tonight, and i will be praying for the ability to forgive myself.
Another F15'er. I'm so sad to see so many of us here. I completely understand the need to type it all out, since it was so early there aren't a ton of IRL people to talk to. I hope you find peace in your decision. In the end you have to do what is best for you.
