Missed miscarriage

Found out at the 12 week scan that I have experienced a missed miscarriage, most likely at 5/6 weeks. Sadly I haven’t naturally miscarried so I am accepting medical intervention (tablets) next week as I am finding the waiting difficult. Can anybody advise me on how this went for them? Have you been able to start TTC soon after etc? Did it mess up your cycles? Etc. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks :)

First of all I’m so sorry for your loss. I had this exact same thing happen to me a couple years ago. Went in for my 12 week scan and they said baby hadn’t grown from 5 weeks. I had the tablet and after 3 weeks I was supposed to have a negative test and it wasn’t so bad to go back for a D&C. I would have just had the D&C if I could of known as it was less painful (physically) There is nothing anyone can say that’s going to make you feel better my lovely, I’m just so sorry xx

I fell pregnant 2 months after my miscarriage too and now have a happy healthy chunky little girl who is 10 months old! Don’t give up hope, just take this time to heal in yourself

Sorry for your loss😭 I had the same but was a little earlier. Would’ve been around 12/13 weeks when I was all sorted I had the same management as you’re gonna have and it went smoothly wasn’t to painful and the heaviest bleeding only happened that day and the next. I started tracking a month after and I got pregnant again so my cycle was correct 2 months after and I even managed to get pregnant again. Hopefully you get this sorted and get your rainbow baby🫶

Hello, so sorry that this has happened to you. I found out in a private scan at 11.5 weeks I had a MMC in July with the baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. I was waiting for an EPU appointment for one week and ended up miscarrying naturally 4 days after I found out at home. I had excessive bleeding and needed to go in that night for observation. Today, I had surgical management for a MMC I found out about at an early EPU scan at 8 weeks where the baby stopped at 5.5 weeks. Personally, the surgical management (D&C) was so much better than my first experience. Empathetic staff, less “traumatic” for the lack of a better word and I’m at home now recovering. Unfortunately it seemed another patient in there today had failed medical management resulting in surgical management in the end as the previous poster has said. Of course I’m sure that does not always happen. Hugs to you - unfortunately there is no easy way to do this and it’s devastating but you will be in good hands x

Im so sorry for your loss 🫂 I fell pregnant with my rainbow baby that's 6 months old now 5 months after my 13+3 miscarriage

I had a misscariage in October had a period in November and now I'm pregnant in December, try have at least 1.period if your going to try again

So sorry. I tried medical management twice but it doesn't work for many women. Hopefully that won't be the case for you but I would never recommend it to anyone - it made a horrible process drawn out and stressful. I was able to start ttc a few weeks after the surgery when I eventually had it

I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️ I had a chemical miscarriage after an IVF transfer, then had a period in between then another transfer and it worked. I think having one month break just to get your cycle back is best but check what the drs recommend. You also might want to have a wee break for your MH x

I'm so sorry for your loss. I experienced a missed miscarriage last year and was able to conceive a healthy pregnancy 3 months later after having 1 period. In terms of removing the pregnancy I took tablets and it was quite painful for me. Definitely take your painkillers beforehand and have a hot bath or waterbottle ready to go. It took about 30 minutes from when I put the vaginal pill in to start bleeding and bled for about 2 weeks. I did unfortunately get some of the baby stuck in my cervix and had to have it removed at the hospital so be weary of that but it is uncommon so don't stress too much about it happening. Be kind to yourself and don't expect yourself to be up and out acting like nothings happening. I wish you the best and hope it all goes as smoothly as possible ❤️

Thank you everyone! I found the first scan quite clinical with the language used as they kept saying it looked ‘unusual’ and ‘inevitable miscarriage’ ‘I’m not quite sure what I’m looking at’ etc. but thankfully the follow up scan felt better, despite the news. I did debate a D&C but was mindful of how close to Christmas it would be. Although with everything I know there is no guarantee that anything is plain sailing. This has helped put my mind at ease though so thank you everyone for taking the time to share your experiences, I appreciate it more than I could ever express ♥️

Hope it’s smooth for you, sorry for your loss and I hope you’re okay🫶
