hi dippy. did they ask you to bring it in? i had mine with me when i went to hospital next morning, and the doctor i saw before the scan took it for testing. she said lots of people flushed it away, so not to worry if i had.

I took mine in a small tub. I gave it to a nurse who said, 'Urgh. That's disgusting. Don't give it to me.'

:mad:

But someone else took over and later let me know more.

That attitude is awful and that would have made me feel even more miserable, especially from a trained professional


Was it all pink and clear? Sorry if that's a dumb question

My thoughts are with you OP (((hugs))))

I`m going through pretty much the same ordeal,my last period was 16/June so I reckon I`m about 5 weeks pregnant.
I had slight bleeding on monday and very mild pain but it cleared up pretty quickly.

Went for a scan this morning and the Radiololgy Report says
* TA and TV scans performed.There is a IU gestation sac present measuring 20.7mm x 15.3mm x 25.6mm.
Within this is a vague echo up against the wall of the sac,too small to determine its nature.
Right maternal ovary appears normal.Left ovary has a 21mm simple cyst present.
No free fluid.
Rescan suggested in no less than 10 days to assess viability*

So I have a scan booked for the 1st of august,the day I go on holiday.

All I saw on the monitor was a sac with a little white bit in the corner of it,which looked like the second picture in the link about blighted ovum.I think I know in myself that this is not going to grow into anything.With my last pregnancy I had a scan at just over six weeks and could see a mass in the sac and a heartbeat.

Now is just the waiting game which I`m sure the OP agrees is the worse bit.

I am so sorry to hear you are going through this too, the waiting game is most definitely the worst and I know now I am relieved it is all over. Waiting until the end of this month for another scan was horrible and made me feel bad.

At least when the worst is over, after you have expected the worst.. if that makes sense.. you can get on with your life and make plans to either, try again, or ensure it doesn't happen again.

I have never been in this position so I don't even know when the time is right to try again or when they say you can resume intercourse (last thing on my mind and even my husband won't want to come near me now I am sure)

Just for info - about 4 weeks after my miscarriage I had a period, so my hormones must have kicked in very quickly. We became pg again that cycle meaning that 8 weeks after loosing a pregnancy I was already 4 weeks pregnant with DD2 IYSWIM. (Well even I'm confused now ).

And you'll know when the time is right to resume intercourse. It'll be when you both feel like it Going through all of this trauma will have brought you closer together too.

My first miscarriage over 10 years ago I passed a clear jelly like blob which the hospital said was the baby,that was before I started bleeding,then omg did I bleed.

I ending up having an incomplete miscarriage where I needed a D+C and a blood transfusion.It was a couple of months after I had it that I had sex again,to be honest I wasn`t really interested in it.But once you break the seal so to speak,everything went back to normal.

Just have sex when you both feel ready too,there can be no set time for when it`s right,only you and your hubby will know.

i had a period 5 weeks after my miscarriage, and i had a mirena coil put in (they do it while you are bleeding). my husband didn't want another baby, and he reckoned that my wanting another straight away was just hormonal, and that once i'd thought about it for a year i would agree with him (the baby i miscarried was unplanned and came as a bit of a shock really, but i did want it).

i am a heavy bleeder, but it had tailed off, and then the period started. when i asked if the coil could be fitted so soon after a miscarriage the gp told me everything was back to normal.

i saw something somewhere about waiting for a while to let your body settle down before getting pregnant, but i'm not sure if it's really necessary - it might just be because your iron stores might be low if you bleed heavily.

You might find this link to scan pictures enlightening. The first one is of a 5 week 5 day pregnancy.

" The yolk sac (small white circle at upper right of sac) is a source of nutrients for fetus. Fetus is too small to see this early in pregnancy."

So chin up chuck. :kisses3: I had bleeding at 5+ weeks in the pregnancy following my miscarriage. My lovely GP sent me for an emergency scan and the sonographer showed me the heartbeat. She said at that early stage it wasn't unusual not to be able to see a heartbeat though.

That little heartbeat is now my beautiful DD2(11).

Thank you so much for that link,it has really given me a glimour of hope.
Thank you so much:j

Oh dear, a blood transfusion would be frightening.. not to mention the state you must have been in to get to that point.

I thought I had passed the baby yesterday .. but I didn't until last night.

Now I am passing nasty clots and still in alot of pain, waiting for the Paracetamol and Codeine to kick in and I've been very short with my toddler today and done nothing with her at all I am ashamed to say. Walking about makes it worse and makes the clots come quicker so I am just sat here at the computer as much as possible.

Every time I go to the loo she wants to come and I know she is only 2 but I don't want her seeing anything - she knows what blood is after knocking a tooth out.

I am not having sex until I have a coil fitted and am less scared of what his tool can do . That damn thing gets me in trouble all the time.

Hazzie try to relax, not everyone ends with miscarriages

Bleeding is very common in pregnancy. I hope you find your babys heartbeat on your next scan, I really do :A

You are very welcome.

^^^^^^What Dippychick said about bleeding in early pregnancy.^^^^^^

I was convinced I was having another miscarriage and continued bleeding on and off up to about 20 weeks. At 24 weeks I dared hope that the babe might survive if she was born. At 32 weeks I figured that if she was born then she might be ok. At 42 :eek: weeks they had to evict her by caesarean because she wasn't showing any intention of moving out. :cool:

What will be will be, and there is nothing any of us can do to halt the inevitable. However what we do have is hope. As my OH say "Don't worry until you have something to really worry about". :grouphug:
