Wrong dates mmc?

[night owl]

I think it just stops growing, and if it’s small enough when it stopped can even be reabsorbed that is what they told me might have happened, this waiting must be so awful for you, they said I would have to wait another 2 weeks for a scan aswell just to be sure even though by the dates I would have got a positive test before it was even conceived! Thankfully for me I had a full miscarriage a few days later, I hope the time passes quickly until thurs x

Ive had two mmc first I didn’t find out until my first scan I would have been 11w6 but was measuring 6w with no hb second I was having early scans because of my history and had hb at 6w3 then went back at 9w6 and was measuring 9w2 and no hb x

Sometimes they just stop growing - they don’t tend to get smaller, they just stopped growing.

Other times you can have a blighted ovum, which is also called an anembryonic pregnancy. Which is where no baby grows, but the body doesn’t realise and so still grows a sac and a placenta for it. That’s what I had last time. So when I did miscarry I passed a placenta that was about the size of my hand even though there never was a baby in it

April is there no way you could try and phone and move your scan forward? Enough time will have passed now for you to get a definitive answer. The waiting is horrendous X

Those 2 weeks are awful. I feel for you. I hope you get a positive outcome x

No unfortunately they won’t see me until exactly two weeks have passed & we have a funeral on that date so Thursday Is the next one available.
I thought I’d keep myself busy by staying in work but I’m having issues there currently so feeling like I’m up against a lot atm

From experience also the cruel thing about mmc is you can still have symptoms. I had really strong symptoms up until the last day or so even though I had a d&c last week and the only bleeding I had was a tiny spot once when I wiped.

The flip of that is with my healthy pregnancy I had no symptoms, no sickness, nothing, so I wouldn’t rely on symptoms to tell you anything x

I hope the last few days go quickly for you

If you feel work is too much just now don’t force yourself. I ended up signing myself off for the last 3 days I was waiting (I only work 3 a week). I couldn’t cope with seeing people who didn’t know and having to fake all was well x

Thank you everyone for the support whilst I have been going through this.

I’m so sorry you also have been through this.
I’m so scared. I don’t know what to expect. They said my bf can only drop me off and pick me up also he can’t stay with me

I’ve never had a d&c so not sure exactly what happens but I have seen many people saying it is not bad, it’s over quickly and a few data of heavy bleeding afterwards but it’s all over much quicker then a natural MC, hope it goes ok for you April, sending you hugs xx

I am so so sorry April. Having had a d&e not a d&c myself I can only say it was absolutely fine. It was more emotionally painful for me than anything physical. As someone who had sepsis because the doctors tried to wait out my MC naturally rather than do a d&c I can only say it is the best option in my opinion. Try not to feel too frightened, the nurses and doctors are wonderful in my experience just ask as many questions as you need because my aftercare wasn't the best and I wasn't always sure what to expect. Above all take the time to be with your oh and make sure you support each other through this difficult time. Lots of love and to you xx

April I had a d&c a fortnight ago, I can honestly say physically it’s not bad. My partner was allowed to wait with me before the procedure but I didn’t have a set time so had to be in at 8am and didn’t end up getting taken until 2pm. If you have any questions let me know but honestly don’t worry. It’s harder emotionally than physically and the procedure itself only takes about 15 minutes x
