lucky13, sorry to read of your loss. I lost my second pregnancy at 9 weeks, and my 3rd pregnancy at 39 weeks. I no the feeling of wanting to shut out the world. I no there is nothing I can say right now to make you feel better, just no that your not alone, take all the time you need to get through this. There will be days you dont want anyone around, and others you just cant be alone. Hugs to you.

I am joining you ladies with the loss of a pregnancy. I was 12 weeks yesterday when I learned that my poor baby no longer had a heartbeat. I started spotting very lightly Thursday. This weekend it got a little heavier and had some red (which I knew was bad). The on-call doctor told me since I had already been to an appointment and the baby had a heartbeat of 180 bpm that I didn't have to go to the emergency room & to follow-up with my doctor on Monday. My doctor is great and fit me right in. The doctor didn't seem concerned when he came in the office. He used the doppler and couldn't find a heartbeat. He told me not to worry since I was only 12 weeks sometimes its hard to find and he went and grabbed the internal us machine. As soon as he started I saw my nurses face & she looked at the doctor and blocked my vision from the screen. I asked 'good or not good' and the doctor replied 'not good'. There was no heartbeat. I started crying & couldn't stop. The nurse, whom I've known since I've been going there since I was 15 so 15 years, hugged me and gave me a tissue. They explained that miscarriage is very common. I know it's common but it's still hard. You never think it will happen to you, especially after you make it so close to the safe mark & see that little heartbeat. I text my husband b/c I couldn't talk and he left work right away. The doctor sent me to imaging for a confirmation with a better ultra sound. That was torture. Here I am, just finding out the horrible news & crying so hard with make-up all over my face and I have to sit in a waiting room with a bunch of strangers. Luckily my husband showed up so fast. I broke down when he walked in. The staff was very nice but it seemed to take forever to get back in the room. We went back & they couldn't get the machine to pull my info. We were there forever...1st for a regular ultra sound then an internal. I stared at the wall the entire time because I didn't want to have an image stuck in my head. After we were finally done we were stuck in this room that had a wall full of 4D us pics of babies. Again, the computer was not working so the tech couldn't get the images to the doctor. By this time is was 10 of 12:00 and I had been stuck in doctor's offices since 9:00. I was starving & had a horrible headache. They let us leave and we went to have lunch before we had to go back to my doctor's office AGAIN. We went to Olive Garden & I devoured the most fattening food and had a huge margarita. I managed to not cry at lunch but then it was back to my doctor to read the results. They confirmed the same he found and I had to chose to a d&c or to allow my body to miscarry naturally. I, emotionally, cannot handle waiting. I'm scheduled tomorrow for the procedure. I woke up today with horrible cramping & lower back pain. I can barely stand up straight. I guess my body is starting the natural process. Luckily my job & my hubby's job are amazing & we have as much time off as we need. I'm in my room now, alone, with my heating pad. I don't want to even try to be around people or talk about what or how I'm feeling. I would rather sulk alone. I'm glad this site is here so I could pour this all out. Thanks all for listening. ((HUGS))

Ladies it is so sad going through your messages. I am 17 weeks pregnant with my first and cannot think what i would do should i loose this little one. Was there any specif reason why you ladies lost the babies?

tks strongc. After being worried for a while, I kinda breathed a sign of relief now that my AF is here, exactly 4 wks after d&c. It's just frustrating not able to know what to expect ....

I'm flabbergasted that there aren't more women posting to this forum. Sage, after my last mc I bled for about 3 weeks, lightly and brown toward the end. I don't think you should be worried. If it turns red, that would be cause for concern.

sage39 - 560 days ago.
Have you experience this after successful completion of D&C? The bleeding has tapered at the end of 10days however, I still have brown spotting (even after 3 weeks). Should I be concerned? I assume whatever bleeding should come to an end by the second week.

Hi Marchbaby2, I just want to share my story I had a healthy baby boy in 1999 he's now nearly 11 and I am 31. I got pregnant in march and miscarried 6 weeks later. I have an a great OBYGN who told me to wait 1 cycle, I had a period 5weeks after M/C and caught straight away. I had an ultra sound at 6 weeks and everything was fine and they found the heart beat which was 178. I am now 12 weeks today and feel so blessed!! I never understood miscarriage until it happened to me!! Sorry for your loss and everyone who has been through loss my thoughts are with you xxxx

Hello ladies. I need some advise because I'm feeling confused. I had a healthy baby girl in 2008, no complications everything went off without a hitch. We decided to try again in March of this year, got pregnant no problem and had a missed miscarriage. We went to the ultrasound all excited only to find no hearbeat. Found out this month I was expecting again only to have bleeding at 5 weeks, went to emergency. They checked my hormones and they were back to 0. How long should I wait to try again? is it safe to try next month or should I wait a cycle or two. i've made an appointment to see my doc, but I wanted to know what others thing. From what I've read you should wait one or two, but other times it says it doesn't matter. Help! I'm feeling like a bit of a failure here.

hi all, I am truly sorry for the lost. I have just had missed miscarriage as well and went through the painful/emotional ordeal of D&C. It's so hard to accept the fact that we have lost them when we have placed so much confident and hope. My advice is, if you discovered the slightest symptoms of miscarriage, rush to the doc immediately. Do NOT wait, it may increase the chances of having a healthy pregnancy.

Conmae i am so sorry for your loss, no one can understand your pain unless they have experienced this, please know that it does get a little easier each day, but dont go through it alone, share what you are feeling with the people you love. About 2 weeks after my last post i found out that my best friend is pregnant and due the same week that i would have been, this is her 1st child and although it is very hard for me i need to be happy and there for her, but i know its not going to be easy, then the begining of this week we find out that my husbands best friend and his wife are also expecting. I just hope it happens to us soon. Lisalashes.. Having a miscarriage is an unexplainable thing, and speaking from experience you just know in your gut when it has happened. The drs can however do an internal ultrasound to see how your baby is doing, they can also take your blood and see what the hcg level is and then take it again a few days later - if the levels increase, then you are ok, if the levels decrease then unfortunetly the baby has passed away. I keep my fingers and toes crossed for you and your baby and that everything is ok. xc

I had a miscarriage. Started spotting at almost 12 weeks, ultrsound showed baby had passed maybe 1-2 weeks ago. I had to have a D&C yesterday. It is the worst thing I have ever had to deal with. I am 41 and feel this was my last chance. I took a shower last night and broke down as my body still 'looks' and feels pregnant but knowing the little life in me was taken out is almost too much to process.

found out we were pregnant on thursday, about 6 weeks. about 30 mins ago started to bleed. have had cramping on and off all weekend. I am so sad. its hard to think positively - i have had 2 previous miscariages, one either side of my 2 1/2 year old little boy, i told my husband that i was going to do everything in my power to keep this baby, to really look after myself this time. i have an appointment tomorrow, but i am so scared, and heart broken.

I, too am having a m/c. This is #3 m/c for us. I am sad but my husband keeps me positive. I made it to 7 weeks. I also wish this will hurry up and be done with so we can move on. I get testing next week and with luck, we can try again soon.

i was 6 weeks 6 days today. started brown spotting 2 days ago. last night i noticed a little heavier leaking.today i noticed it was turning red. Went tothe doctor had an internal ultrasound and the baby was not measuring right and there was no heart beat. i knew what was going on in my heart but my head wouldnt think of it. Then the doctor told me sometimes there are just bad eggs or bad sperm.She said the baby did not have enough genetics to make it,that it only had half of what it needed...so i am very hurt,little angry,very sad. and i just want to know when it is all gonna pass.I just want it out so i can feel better then start trying once my body is ready. I go back in 4 days to do more bloodwork to test my HCG levels...

Hi Floss, I know how you are feeling as I had a miscarriage last week, I was 10 weeks and started passing brown discharge and then blood clots. A scan confirmed that I had a missed miscarriage as the baby had died at 6 weeks. If you are 5-6 weeks you should get a scan but I don't think they do these really early on. There is incidences where you can bleed and still have a healthy pregnancy but with myself I knew something was wrong as soon as I passed some clots. I hope everything goes well for you. I am thinking of you. x

hey, I am new to any kind of forum so please be patient with me! I had 2 m/c's last year and found out I was pregnant again 2 days ago. My husband and I were trying not to get excited but i really thought this time it would work but i have just started bleeding. Its bright red and has some dark brown in it. I am due to go to the Doctors on Tuesday but thought i would get a few opinions first. I had both m/c's at 11 weeks so this bleeding this early is new to me. Please could anyone give me some advice? fx

I am now 13 weeks pregnant with my first child. My last visit I was 10 weeks pregnant and had a great heartbeat from my baby, 170. I haven't had any blood at all. But sometimes my belly does cramp a little, but not to the point i have to sit down and cry. It's only happen once that it hurt all over and I called the nurse hotline and they asked me if I drank any water that day, I didn't ...so They told me I was dehydrated. The cramping went away the next day. I'm also having some high blood pressure symptoms, but yet can't get away from the sodium. I'm getting into my 2nd trimester and my breast feel better and the nausea is going away...But i'm so concerned something is wrong, I look on the web and see all these people talk about their miscarriages and i think that could be me without knowing. How do you set your mind at ease? My next appointment is 2 weeks away!!

I am new to this group and I myself have suffered a fetal demise as they called it (micarriage that my body did not recognize) at 5 months (20 weeks) gestation so I was induced and delivered my beautiful baby girl on March 2nd ....and I wake up in the morning and think it never happened and then it hits and everyone around me pays for it(adults anyway) I am keeping my normal daily routines up so I don't disturb my other children. But I worry that ppl will forget about Aliya and that makes me even more angry. Will the anger ever go away or simmer down. Don't get me wrong I do have good days sometimes more good than bad but when I have a bad day .... everyone knows and just tries to stay out of my way. I grieve alone as I do not want to put a burden on my hubby or other family members and I do not want ppl to think I am mourning her loss too long.... but is there a too long I don't know. I do understand that everything in life happens for a reason and this was all part of the bigger plan. Still sooo oconfused......

We discovered at our first ultrasound visit that we were expecting twins. There were two tiny beans with their little fluttering heartbeats, each nestled in their own protective cave. I went back and saw them again a week later, still doing great. At some point during the next week, one of our twins passed, but I didn't know it until a couple of days ago. Staring at that ultrasound was the most surreal and horrifying thing I've ever seen. One healthy fetus bouncing and kicking around, and one embryo, shriveled up and lifeless. I am having a very hard time coming to terms with this, as my twins were going to be such special siblings. It is very hard at this point to be excited about the surviving baby when I am so filled with grief for our loss. One thing is for sure, I will never be the same. While only alive for a short time, I loved that little life with all my heart.

I went for my 11 week scan on monday after a small amout of brown spotting to my shock i found out i had had a missed miscarrage and the baby had died 3 weeks before, my body had stayed pregnant with all the normal pregnancy feeling etc this was an awfull day that i would never wish on anyone. i had a d&c yesterday as my bean wasnt moving anywere, this was scary but in a way has given me closure on this ordeal, this was my 3rd pregnacy i have two boys aged 6 and 4 already this baby would have completed the 3 i always wanted, we will try again when the pain goes away,my boys keep me strong x all my love to all that have written on this wall xx
