P.s. your story gives me hope from this last mmc I had 🩷🩵 I just wanted to tell you that.
@Ashley could I please ask, was it a month after you stopped bleeding and was natural or a procedure? Sorry for the questions. I had a missed miscarriage, had a strong heartbeat at 8 weeks but yesterday at 12 week scan they said it stopped growing at 8 weeks and today I’ve started naturally miscarrying. They said it could take 2-3 weeks of bleeding so wondered when to start trying after that? Is sex more painful after a miscarriage? Sorry for all the sensitive questions. Trying to focus on moving forward.
@Jennie So, I went to a regular checkup at 8w2d (feb 2nd) and Dr got concerned because we could only see the heartbeat but not hear it so he sent me for hcg bloodwork 48hrs apart & another ultrasound. I did my ultrasound feb 6th. The next morning I wiped & saw spot of blood, went to ER. While waiting I was able to pull up my ultrasound results & it showed that my gestational sac had become abnormal & deformable in shape & fetal pole present with no cardiac activity. I think the night of my appt the 2nd is when baby's heartbeat stopped because I got EXTREMELY nauseous & projectile vomited which I hadn't done my whole pregnancy. I seen my Dr the day I spotted (feb 7th) & he prescribed cytotec cus my body wasn't doing it naturally. I didn't pick it up until the next morning. I showered & when I got out I began to bleed (within minutes of taking the meds), after baby came out I started hemorrhaging & had to be admitted to ER cus of so much blood loss. They gave me more cytotec & then oxytocin. I bled for just
My friend is 15 weeks having miscarried at 7 weeks end of November so very similar to you Shelby. She is just trying to take it day by day but I know the risk gets a lot lower after 13 weeks and I’ve read that it’s less likely to miscarry after you’ve already had a miscarriage. Something I’m really hoping I do get pregnant again.
over 2 weeks. After placenta came out it stopped and I only spotted for like 2 days. I started taking Regulate that I ordered on Amazon cus my cycles are always irregular and it's helped me a lot with keeping my cycle regular, especially since the mmc. So, we had sex for the first time the 28th of Feb and it didn't hurt & i didnt bleed or anything, we were both very nervous of that. You can track your hcg with pregnancy tests, whenever the hcg isn't detectable in urine or blood you should be good to start TTC again. I'm soo sorry you're going through this. And don't be sorry, they are all relevant questions. I had them, too. I started tracking my ovulation with tests. I hyperovulated last month but it's said you can do that after mc. LH tests will pick up hcg, too so if you're preg test is still positive, chances are you're going to get a positive ovulation test. If you ever have anymore questions or just need to talk please msg me. I'm here anytime, always. And again, my heart goes out to you 🤍
Also, my first period came exactly 4w3d after my first day of bleeding from mmc. It was 4 days which was my norm before but I normally start heavy them it goes lighter, with my 1st period post mmc it was light the first day, heavy the next 2 days (not irregularly heavy though, just normal heavy) and then just regular the last day. I hope all of this helps even just a little bit. I Google so much during and after the mmc happened before joining these groups.
So, I recently had a mmc at 9w2d on feb 8th, it was my first pregnancy in 10 years. That being said, 4 weeks before I got pregnant with my son (he's 10 now), I had a mc. I got pregnant immediately after, had a healthy pregnancy, healthy baby, everything. I hope this helps! I was also told 10 months before I got pregnant with him that id never have kids, ever. If there's anything you enjoy doing like Journaling, drawing, coloring, watching movies, taking walks, whatever it may be, try doing those things when your anxiety is up high. And remember with each passing day, week, etc. the chances and %'s of MC go down significantly! Congratulations on your sweet 🌈 👶🏻 🥰
