Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

This is such a difficult subject.. I was wondering about any m/c after 8w.. I myself had one at 8w.. I knew from the very beginning it was a touch and go situation.. My numbers were never very good fomm day one.. Not a strong h/b.. Has anyone else who has had a m/c not experience this?? What I am asking is was everything perfect with the pregnancy from day one and then all of the sudden they m/c?? Even further along than 8w like 11 or 15?? Was the h/b strong and and yoke sac perfect but the pregnancy just m/c?? I hope this is ok to ask..

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

I asked a similiar question a couple weeks ago, I'll bump it for you. A few girls answered it.

there are girls on here where everything was fine & then they miscarried.

Both times, my babies were measuring smaller than I knew they should have been.




sorry you are going thru this.

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

I did my third and last fresh IVF cycle with my own eggs.. I had 2 excellent quality eggs transferred.. they both took but only one is growing perfectly.. The second will be absorbing or is absorbing by now..it only measuring 4w when the other was 7w5d.......I am 8w1d... The growth is exactly where it should be... h/b 153 everytime I go. yoke sac perfect.. progesterone 108 perfect.. But I am so paranoid its paralyzing... I look for things to scare me.. M/C takes away so much from your innocence... I am always expecing the worst.. I am seein a high risk specialist who i feel so blessed to have found.. I know your thinking ok then just relax and enjoy.. i really really wish I could..

It too me 1 year almost to the day to get pregnant again w/ivf.. I did about 8 IUI in between.. I have to add.. I am 43 years old

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

I was 11 weeks when I miscarried. I had seen the heartbeat three times and it was a healthy rate. I had heard it once as well. I still had all my symptoms and had no idea the heart had stopped beating. It was awful. I don't know if I'll be able to relax the next time around. Try not to let your mind go too crazy. I know it's easier said than done.

I'm sorry you are stressed. I know how you feel. We had a m/c in July at 7/8 weeks and were completely devastated and yesterday I got a BFP. It's so hard. I feel like as long as we get past 8 weeks we will be ok but I keep thinking that DH won't believe it's real until he is holding our baby.

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

I m/c'd at 7.5 weeks, and for me, I knew it was happening because I had been spotting for some time. And just instinctually I knew something was off. I have a few close friends who m/c'd closer to 11 or 12 weeks and for all of them it was the same thing, they just *knew* something was wrong.

I know firsthand how hard it is to relax during your pregnancy after having experienced an m/c. The first trimester is just torture - but I promise, as soon as you reach the 2nd trimester you will start relaxing more, not completely, but a little more. Try to think of it this way - this is very, very good training for the worry you'll experience as a new mom

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

I dont want to tell you anything really b/c Im afraid its just going to make you feel worse and set on being nervous. Which is understandable but try as hard as you can to not focus on this and focus on a positive outcome.

Will pray for you.

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

I mc'd at 11 weeks earlier this year after having seen a heartbeat at 6w3d. I didn't have many symptoms before the mc, so although I was nervous the entire pregnancy I didn't have any indication that something was wrong until I started spotting.

But my case is very rare. The chances of your pregnancy being successful are so much better than it not being! I think at this point you only have about a 10% chance of miscarrying. That's 90% chance that everything is going to be just fine. Try to relax

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

I miscarried at 11.5 weeks. Everything had been going well until I started bleeding & then cramping early one morning.

I became pregnant again about 2.5 months later & all was fine. My doctor explained that the miscarriage had nothing to do with my body - just something with the baby & it was for the best. I was extremely nervous the first 12 weeks of my 2nd pregnancy, but thank God, all went well.

I wish you the best - I know it's almost impossible, but try to enjoy being pregnant & what will be, will be. Try not to dwell on the past & try to look toward the future.

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

I M/Cd at 20 weeks, caught and infection and my water broke. But i got PG again after 4 months of trying.

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

I miscarried around 8-9 weeks, but I was spotting.

This past pregnancy I also spotted but have a healthy DC.

for you. I know it is scary the next time around!

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

Thank you so much for all of your responses... I made an appt today with my reg OB.. Its the first time I am seeing him.. I just want him to do a sonogram so i can see the baby.. I have no spotting or any bad symptoms but my mind goes crazy.. I think this will help he relax for another week.. I just wish I could relax and enjoy my pregnancy..

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

i miscarried at 16 Weeks.. i was fine up until the loss.. but i found out later that i had incompetent cervix.. so thats why it was sudden.

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

we knew from the beginning that things weren't right. My HCG levels were not doubling at the rate they should have, and the HB was too slow. I think you just need to have some reassurance which is understandable....I think a lot like you do....sometimes you need to jsut have a little bit of faith

Re: Question for anyone that m/c after 8 weeks

Well first let me wish you a very happy and healthy pregnancy . But you are not alone. I think it is very common to feel the way that you do.

I just had a D&C today. I was 8 weeks PG. I can't believe I am up writing about this but it is actually therapeutic for me.

From my own personal experience, I did feel like something was off with this pregnancy. Same thing with the last PG, when I m/c early at about 5 weeks. With the last pregnancy, my hormone levels dropped quickly, and I lost all symptoms as quickly as they appeared. I also got inconsistent results on the at home PG tests I took.

For this one, I started out okay, got nice dark lines on PG tests early, and was okay with everything until about 5 weeks, when I started spotting. I did spot with my DS as well, but this came and went and just seemed more prominent. At 6 weeks, they did an u/s and didn't see a heartbeat. The baby also looked much smaller on the screen than I recalled with DS. I have an u/s pic from the same time and the baby was MUCH larger at that point. Then my progesterone levels dropped and I was put on supplements. I found out this week that there was still no heartbeat and I needed a D&C.

I'm not sure if this helps you but if all is going well that IS wonderful news. I wish you a healthy 9 months .
