Hi all. I found out at my 8 week ultrasound that we had a missed miscarriage (anembryonic). The egg sac was measuring about 7 weeks, so they made me come back for a follow up ultrasound this week (11 weeks) and there was no change, confirming what we already knew. I've read all the options and am very much leaning towards waiting to miscarry naturally. Wondering if anyone can share how long it took for your missed miscarriage to start miscarrying naturally? I have had ZERO bleeding or spotting so far. Feels like it can't take that much longer, but I have been having trouble finding any decent information about how long it can take other than "weeks." TIA

Someone posted something the other day about how Tommy, Ellie and Dina survived the trip back to Jackson which somehow made me realize that Dina was put through a lot. Surviving the trip to Seattle, the entire day there, all the worrying of if Ellie will come back and of course, being shot in the shoulder with Lev's arrow and Abby hitting her head into the ground.
Like, I know being pregnant doesn't prevent you from not dealing with everyday stress but this is way more than regular everyday stress. I'm honestly shocked that Dina's baby has even able to be born!!
I know this game lives in a different reality but that makes no sense!!
Hello all,
My husband and I found out we were pregnant in early November. During our 6 week appointment we got an ultrasound and saw the gestational sac. 2 weeks later we went back and the sac was gone. My OB told me I would miscarry. That day they checked my quant and it was at a 40,000. 2 days later it was at 45,000. 5 days later it is not at 65,000. The OB & nurses are baffled. They want me to wait another week before we do another ultrasound.
I still feel pregnant, I have not had spotting or cramping. Has this happened to anyone else or anyone ever head of something like this before?
After vaginally delivering my baby at 18 weeks (my 4th loss), I waited 7 weeks or so for hcg to drop. despite hcg dropping very slowly, I still had retained tissue. I got hysteroscopy today but as soon as I woke up from the anesthesia, I was told that I need to get a second hysteroscopy because they couldn’t remove all the placenta due to some complication that happened during the surgery. Did anyone have experience of having to get a second surgery after a failed attempt to remove all the tissue in the first surgery? Sighs. I can’t even miscarry properly
im currently 10 weeks pregnant and am having a somewhat difficult pregnancy because i have constant pain in my belly and i feel very fatigued. my managers don't understand that there are certain things that i can't do anymore but they still want to force me to do them also asked HR if i could do 6 hours and they said it was alright but i had to ask my boss. i asked my boss if i could do 6 hours instead because i would get some pain after certain hours of physical activities and felt very fatigued and he said no maybe after christmas season. they have also been treating me like crap since i told them about my pregnancy like i did something wrong by getting pregnant and having limits of what I can't or can do. idk what i should do because i would've quit like a month ago but i can't be selfish i want to help out my partner with bills ..
On December 7th I was informed I was having a miscarriage. I opted to go natural and after over a full month I have finally started bleeding and this morning I passed a piece of tissue about 4 or 5 inches long. I dont know if it was the sac or what it was. I haven't really passed anything else and I have almost stopped bleeding altogether. I'm still cramping horribly bad. This can't be all there is can it?? Should I expect more? I want to be prepared and have no idea what is going on.
I know this sounds actually fucked up but i’m worried it’s gonna pop out bad with so many fucking problems because she does so many drugs and drinks a lot, she doesn’t wanna stop and thinks the baby will pop out lookin fine but i think it’s gonna be severely deformed and gonna never have a good life. she’s only 12 weeks and i don’t know how to tell her to stop bc it honestly looks like it won’t happen. and the baby daddy wants her to abort it and i just want the fetus to jus die because it’s life is gonna be terrible and ill honestly cry if it’s life is ruined.
Hello. I went into the hospital on Wednesday having hard terrible, debilitating cramps 2 nights in a row. Despite my IUD I got pregnant and the fetus was implanted in my fallopian tube. They said it ruptured a little, as they saw fluid in my ultrasound, but because I was so stable and not showing signs of major internal bleeding, they gave me a dose of methotrexate to stop the cells from dividing.
However, the hospital did a poor job explaing how long until I miscarry the fetus. I was referred to an OBGYN at the hospital to check my levels but because of the holiday they are closed until Monday. They assured me that they will get me in quickly to test my HCG levels but I'm still nervous. I've been crampy since Wedneaday and have had no signs of bleeding. I feel the effects of the methotrexate and am exhausted and nauseous and feel sickly but am curious if I should go into the ER over the weekend to get my levels tested anyway. I really don't want to rupture any further and have to go into surgery.
So in your experiences, did you start bleeding right away? Did you bleed at all in the beginning? Can you all help me figure out what's normal since the hospital did such a shitty job explaining everything to me? Thank you.
Did an elective ultrasound today and it did not go well. Although they aren’t doctors the woman told me the baby was behind the placenta but after my husband and MIL stepped out she told me that she couldn’t see the baby at all and at 13 weeks she should be able to see something and that in her experience it’s not looking good. She said I could go to the ER or just wait for my dr appointment. I’m really not sure what to do, I haven’t had any cramping and am aware it could be a missed miscarriage, just not sure if I should wait or not to go find out. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Update: started bleeding this morning (12/25) and it’s been progressing throughout the day. How fucking unlucky 😔
This happens more to minorities more than whites. I would not be surprised if it begins to happen to us too as the practice spreads when abortion is prohibited. That may establish the legal precedent of personhood for fetuses.
Testosterone is a teratogen, meaning it harms a fetus. In two of these cases, there wasn't proof the mothers actions directly caused the miscarriage. It only takes the suggestion of a possibility.
1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriages.
Be careful fellas and NB friends. Our bodies are being criminalized.

I lost my symptoms just this week, luckily "lactation" (colostrum) came back today so it relieves my worries a slight bit.. I have no more breast tenderness, no serious cravings, no fatigue and not as tired as I have been, no nausea (though I haven't had nausea since my 12th-ish week)
Last week I was cramping pretty bad. Not as bad as some of my period cramps used to be but worse than just mild, the kind where you just have to take a bath to chill out from it. No blood, not a single drop, no discharge out of the ordinary, but I know you can have miscarriage without any blood or even cramping at all. I haven't felt movement yet, and I don't have a doppler to check the heartbeat. I do know movement can start somewhere between 16-24 weeks for first time mums.
I know I'm most likely fine, as the chances of not having a miscarriage at 17 weeks are 99.7%, but I'm a very anxious person and I can't shake the fact that maybe I did miscarry.. :/
It was a book with a red cover and a girl sitting on the front, maybe a fox too? But I can't remember. The gist was that some people in this world who were born at the exact moment as an animal would have a soul-bond with that animal. This girl was born at the same time as a fox, but her father killed the fox and so the magic was backfiring on her (hence her turning into a fox when she slept). I remember the pregnancy scene, because yikes, but also that someone was killing all the soul-bonded animals and the people attached to them. There's a scene where a young colt runs full tilt into a wall and dies of a broken neck, which kills the toddler bonded to it. There's also a cat who I think bonds to the girl at the end because the cat's person dies.
I just really want to read it again because I remember it being bonkers.
I was suspected of having an anembryonic pregnancy at 10w3d, which was confirmed at a second ultrasound at 11w6d. The gynaecologist saw blood in my uterus already (sorry if TMI) so she assured me I would start miscarrying naturally very soon - which I was relieved about since, while I want this to be over as soon as possible, both the medication and the D & C carry risks I’d prefer to avoid if possible.
However here I am at 12w1d with no sign of bleeding whatsoever. I have some lower back pain and nausea (mostly when I’m a passenger in a car) and I think I’m having very vague cramps, but so far not even so much as a little spotting. How long would you recommend I keep waiting? This is mentally weighing on me and I just want to close this horrible chapter and move on.
About a week ago I was having some crampage. Worse than mild but less than severe. There was no blood at all. The cramping was still enough to keep me squirming, and they lasted almost a full day. Now reaching my 16th week, a week later I don't feel pregnant at all. All of my symptoms have subsided (frequent peeing, pressure in genitals, less lactation, no breast tenderness, less cravings.) I take a prenatal everyday along with an extra daily vitamin just in case I don't get all the nutrients I need from meals. I do eat like a wild dog. I haven't had nausea since my 11th/12th week. The only residing symptom is how tired I've been and how much I sleep.
This whole ordeal is causing me to be very anxious and even though I know I'll find out very soon (I'm due for my next ultrasound on Tuesday) I just can't shake the feeling of worry. Does this sound like a miscarriage or am I worrying aimlessly?
Edit: This is my first pregnancy, unfortunately I'm a serious overthinker with severe anxiety
I know this are just hypotheses and not proof that you were going to miscarry, but I am wondering if once the miscarriage happened, you realized some clues were in front of your eyes. For me: resting heart rate slowly decreasingly around DPO 15, nausea that was really mild (I know this can happen in healthy pregnancy), body weight that started to drop 4-5 days before miscarriage when it was consistently increasing before, some random pains that lasted 1-2 days, I was tired but not exhausted...
I'm 8 weeks along, but an ultrasound confirmed my baby stopped growing at 6 weeks...I'm completely shattered.
I was given some options but idk what to do...
I was told I can "wait and see" if I miscarry naturally. I can take a pill to induce the miscarriage. Or I can get a d&c.
All of these options sound horrible...can anyone speak to their experiences?? D&c sounds the least mentally traumatizing, but I'm terrified it'll effect my fertility in the future.
According to my country's constitution which I only know because we had to study it in school,
>...[The State] shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception.
Which (presumably) means that it would count as a murder here but I ain't no lawyer. Would that be the case where you're from?
