Hi, I'm a gravida 7 para 3 mis 4. Currently losing a 10 1/2 week pregnancy (empy sac of 6 wk duration). Right now I'm on my sixth day of bleeding and it got heavier overnight. So now I'm waiting to pass the tissue. I'm really grateful for the internet at times like this. It's comforting to know that emotional support is only a click away. In our mothers' and grandmothers' day they had to go it alone. Prayers and best wishes to everybody on this forum.
Tm-Im so sorry that you're going through this terrible loss. Your situation is similar to my last MC, as I too had an empty sac of about 6week gestation, but I had a missed MC (ie no bleeding) and so had a D&C.
Im really glad youve found this website, as there are a lot of us who have unfortunately experienced the same or similar to what you're going through now. Like me, Im sure you'll find all the love and support that you need here to hopefully make your journey a little more bearable.
In the mean time, Im sending you the biggest cyber hug I can. Please take care of yourself,and if you need to talk, we're here for you.
:hugs:..I'm sorry you have to go through this sweety..
so sorry for the pain, physical and emotional that you are going through right now. big hugs to you.
Tm thinking of you at this awful time :hug:
Thank you ladies for your well-wishes. I passed the amniotic sac at home last evening at about 6:10 pm. Some cramping and bleeding but nothing excessive. After consulting with my doctor, she ordered me some labs for today (friday) and monday, along with a doctor visit on monday. So it seems that physically, the worst is over. Now it's on to the psychological aspect. Today I feel very porous and disconnected. Not to mention tired. Spent most of the day on the couch.
I'm so sorry about your loss.
I'm so glad we have this website. People who have never been through miscarriage are very kind and well-meaning, but they just don't get it. It's not their fault. My HCG's are dropping normally, and my uterus has shrunk to pre-miscarriage size. In other words, I'm getting better. But ironically, with my three older children to care for, I've barely had time to just sit and be with my loss. Or as I told my DH last night, I'm running too fast for the grief to catch me up. But it will. It always does. We have permission to try again in another two months. Thanks again for all your support.
Look after yourself TM..
Thinking of you hun.
I'm on the same boat as you right now.
here for you.

You ladies are great and this site is AWESOME. I hope, hope, hope I never have to recommend any of my friends to a M/C site, but in the unfortunate event it happens, I will direct them straight here.
The grief has finally caught me up. I've been an unholy mess, crying off and on over anything and everything. But it feels cathartic and I know I"m going to heal. After my third miscarriage I shut down emotionally and didn't shed a tear for EIGHT MONTHS!
Went back to work this past weekend--I work part time and only needed to take one day off, but I hadn't been to work in nearly two weeks--only to find out that the nurse's aid I've worked with for two years was complaining about me. When I got to the bottom of it, none of the issues are that bad, and they can be easily fixed, but I do need to mend fences with this woman now. She's one of those very quiet and shy people who lets things get to her and never says anything--then explodes all at once. She chose now to explode.
Sorry to ramble about non-M/C issues, but it was just one more thing on my already overloaded emotional plate. Thanks again for all your support.
How are you going? It's so hard when you're back at work, isn't it. Things that would have irritated you before but which you could have handled, seem too much to deal with (or not worth it). Good luck - hopefully if you need more time off, you can take it.
Wanted to send out a big cyber thank you to everybody. My bleeding has stopped and I'm starting to move back into "real life". Which always seems so scary at first. But again, thanks for everybody's support and best wishes to everybody.
