New with a question

just came back from first doctors app't - i was 9 weeks. Sono tech didn't see anything. They took blood and will call me tomorrow with results.

what will happen next....will i definitely bleed?? (doctor didn't say for sure) and i was hysterical crying, so didn't even ask enough questions.

so upset, i had ton of preggo symptons. I also gained 5 lbs. All for nothing.

Re: New with a question

i'm so sorry did the doctor see an empty sac or anything in your uterus? i'm sorry you are having to go through this....after multiple losses i know one of the hardest parts is the waiting. it's pure torture. all the girls on this board are so sweet and we will support you. is there any possiblity you are still earlier than you think? are they doing a repeat sono?

Re: New with a question

I know the waiting is hard, but wait to see what the blood results say tomorrow (I read your other post).

Re: New with a question

thanks.
there was an empty sac.
they said they would call me with blood test results tomorrow and then decide based on results if they want me to go back for another blood test and sono on monday.
I'm def. not earlier than what i thought. I know the days we bd, and that would not make sense.

Re: New with a question

Ladies, I am SO sorry you are both going through this

I was not as far along as you, but I had a bit of cramping (nothing excrutiating) and bleeding. I wasn't in a lot of pain, but I did get very sick. Sorry to be gross, but I had bad diarrhea and vomiting and was incredibly weak for a day. It doesn't sound like that's the norm, from what I've read, but that's what happened to me.

Again, I am SO sorry, and we are hear for you.

Re: New with a question

First, I am so sorry for your loss (to both ladies)

I had an empty sac at 8 weeks. They told me I was measuring at about 5 weeks...I knew my dates weren't that off though. It took about 2 more weeks, but I m/c naturally (I didn't want a d&c). I started bleeding very lightly on a Friday and by Monday it was like a regular period. I passed most of the tissue on Tuesday...that was the worst day. I won't lie, it does hurt more than period cramps but I'm happy that it went naturally. Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have. I'm sorry you are going through this.

i'm so so so so sorry i know how you feel

its a terrible thing to go through...you are not alone....feel free to FM

Re: New with a question

thanks everyone for your support. Just wondering what the advantages of miscarrying naturally are as opposed to D&C???

Re: New with a question

If your doctor gives the option, I would honestly recommend having a D&C so you're not living in constant fear of miscarrying.

I had one after a missed miscarriage and it was not bad at all, much better than waiting it out in my opinion. I just wanted everything out of me so I could move on and try again. I had no pain and very little bleeding.

ETA: the benefit of miscarrying naturally over a D&C is that there is an extremely small risk associated with the D&C (puncturing the uterus/scarring)

Re: New with a question

I would see what your doctor recommends.

It took me six weeks for my miscarriage to end. I bled on for about four weeks. On/off, very lightly for two more weeks. I had bad cramping and then passed the sac. I thought it was over and done with at this point so I was shocked (all of my sonos came up clean and I was getting negative pregnancy tests)

I was happy that I didn't have to go in for a D&C but looking back, it was a much longer process than I expected and emotionally I would have liked to be done earlier.

Your doctor will recommend the best course of action for you though. Miscarrying naturally isn't much more than having a period. Some only bleed for a week - some three weeks- I bled for six. Everyone is different.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's a terrible experience regardless of how you take care of it. We are all here for you

Re: New with a question

thanks everyone..i guess my main concern is that i work in the city and i'm scared to go into work next week for the fear i may miscarry at work or on the train. I only work mon-wed, but i'm so scared of something happening at work. I guess i'll ask the doctor about this tomorrow. I think i'd prefer a d&c also because i just want to move on and put this past me , at least for the phyical part. I know emotionally it will take more time to move on.

It really wasn't like that. I thought it would be - but it was like a period - lighter and heavier at times. Some people don't even know if they pass the sac.

Re: New with a question

I am so sorry. I had a D&c at nine weeks. For me i just wanted it over with and didn't want to walk around knowing that i was carrying what was no longer a viable pregnancy. The procedure was pretty painless and allowed me to move on. Everyone handles this differently and after much debate that was the best for me.
