Thank you, it's such a drain. I've been off all week I thought it would progress by now and I'd be ready to go back to work Monday. told my manager at work and she was super understanding, said take time off if I needed it. Between feeling really sad and now kind of accepting of the fact this pregnancy won't progress im just wanting the whole experience over with but having to go back to hospital for a third blood test Sunday night
My baby stopped growing at 8 weeks, I found out at the 10 week scan and started bleeding (more like spotting) a few days later. As nothing was happening, I packed my husband and child off on holiday and cycled to my nearest city to go to the market
seriously, if I'd known!!! I lost the baby at just over 11 weeks, so she hung around for an extra 3 weeks. I live in a European country, they don't tend to interfere. Despite my advanced maternal age, they left me alone and were happy for me to wait (I declined medication) as long as I felt ok and didn't have a fever. They called a few times to check on my progress. Absolutely were NOT going to offer surgery, despite me asking for it
I lost the baby on the Sunday after 4 days of only spotting. I woke up with cramps on Wednesday, something icky came out, which I think (Google search)was the uterine casing or lining, cramps again on Thursday morning but then everything was ok for 9 days (still spotting) then the cramps decided to come back on the day of my scan
I overdid it a bit earlier on in the week, so maybe my body was protesting, but it was a bit frustrating to have that happen.
The whole thing has taken a long time, but I'm happy with my decision to wait, it was right for me and I needed time to adjust.
I can understand that you want things over and done with, but secretly, I was a bit scared of taking the medicine
. Apart from the actual miscarriage where I was bleeding more heavily and really couldn't move or think much, I could function quite happily. Cramps were dealt with by ibuprofen and a hot water bottle and didn't last long and I've only had very light bleeding between "events". It's such a personal decision, I hope you get some answers from the blood test and things go peacefully for you x
