Missed miscarriage

I had a scan at the EPU last Tuesday when I was 9w 2d according to my dates. At the scan it was decided that I was only 6w 3d with no sign of any heartbeat. I’m currently in the “10 day period” and am due to have a scan this Friday where I’m certain that it will be a confirmed missed miscarriage - gut instinct I guess! Up until now I’ve had no bleeding or anything to suggest I’ve miscarried naturally. I have experienced two miscarriages historically in 2020 and 2021 before having my son in 2022. Just wondering if anyone else had been through this and what the options are at the end of the 10 days if there’s been no development on the scan and no sign of the miscarriage happening naturally. According to my dates I should now be over 10 weeks if this makes any difference.

Hi I was 8w1d when I had a scan privately I had only a sac, nothing else. I had to wait 10 days. (I already knew as I’d figured there was something wrong 3 weeks prior to my early scan, was in denial and it was still early I guess. They basically offered me a managed miscarriage (pills, which is what I went for) they make you bleed) or a d&c or you can have it naturally. I was 11w by the time I went back for my scan and it was confirmed. My baby had died around the 6-7 week mark unfortunately and had absorbed by the looks of it x

I had a private scan 25th Aug which was a MMC (should have been 10 weeks but baby stopped at 7 and sac had started to collapse/break down). Had 0 warning or symptoms of this other than not having bad morning sickness which I experienced with my son. I didn’t start lightly bleeding till 29th Aug but it was very on/off for 2 weeks, due to still having significant tissue left on the scan they advised I took tablets but just before I did I passed some very large clots and heavy bleeding which would taper off for a few days before a repeat of clots/haemorrhage. I did end up having two rounds of tablets which I didn’t find did anything, no cramps etc and after passing the placenta/sac all the bleeding stopped for 1.5 weeks & I tested negative 15th Oct. I was advised to have one cycle before trying again just to make sure anything left over would be gone. I can imagine they will advise you to either take tablets or surgery (D&C) Sorry you are going through this ❤️‍🩹
