TTC after miscarriage/loss

A.girl - I really hope you get some positive news.

I need some advice. Took 4 tablets of misoprostol vaginally. 3 hours later developed cramps, then moderate bleeding. Passed one small clot and now everything has stopped. I am not even really bleeding anymore. It's been 4hours since the clot passed and my pad isn't even close to full. And there hasn't been any new blood for hours.... I am worried this means the misoprostol isn't going to work. I feel fine.... Which I feel like I shouldn't. Can anyone share their experience? Should I call my doctor?

Well, just after my post my gp rang me to check up on me. He said that doesn't sound very promising so he has made an appointment to see me at 9am tomorrow and if things haven't started again overnight I will probably need a d&c..... Exactly what I am dreading. I work in te small rural hospital and know everyone. So by having a d&c, my boss will be the anaesthetist and the nursing staff are my colleagues. And typical small town no one can keep their mouth shut. I guess the upside is maybe people will stop asking me when I'm planning on having babies and stop asking if I'm pregnant!

Nz veggie, so hope things happen over night. Maybe a walk before bed? Big hugs hun xx

Annimax sorry not sure will try to find a link for you to a website I found good xx

Awwww agirl so so sorry bout ur mum Hun. It's not fair!!! Fxd for ur scan x

Veggie misoprostal didn't work for me either, although I only had a small amount of retained tissue, ur lucky ur dr cares enough to call and check on u. I was told I would need to hav another dose if it didn't wrk 1st time but when I went to the hospital they wondered why I was there, to be honest I still don't know if I'm back to normal but I assume now I've had a couple af's and I'm not sick that it's all gone now. So I know there are reasons u might not want the d&c but I think given the choice, personally I'd definitely do it cos all the waiting and wondering was crap and al I wanted to do was move on.

I had a couple of large clots with my last m/c animax but not everyone does. Depends how far along you are as well I think. I was around 6w last time although not picked up until 12 weeks.

So just got back from my gp. Scheduled for a d&c on Thursday. He confirmed today by ultrasound that the sac is still all there and I am not even spotting anymore. He said it might still happen on its own and normally they wait 7 days but I'm going tramping in 12 days so need it to all be over by then as can't risk being in the bush and having a complication. Hence a d&c has been scheduled. Because I work at the hospital I asked my favorite doctor to be my anaesthetist..... So that's a bonus. I know she will be respectful and keep it quiet as much as possible.

It's great u hav a plan veggie.

Strangely I received a phone call from the hospital booking clerk today saying they wanted me to go in for another scan, I had a scan a month ago to ensure all the retained tissue had gone but no one ever got back to me with results, and I got af so gave up chasing the hospital. The booking clerk said they wanted to check a haemoragic cyst that was found on my overy in that last scan. Not sure what I should make of that though? Anyone had this?

Nzveggie will b thinking of you tomorrow, hope all goes ok xxx

A girl thinking of you too at this difficult time with your mum. Hope scan went ok xx

Bubno1 sorry don't know about cysts, hope yr scan is soon xx

Hey Holz - It's normal to have difficult days. I know that everyone grieves differently so there is no right or wrong way to deal with your emotions. I found that most of the time I could move on and go about my normal life and then every now and then it would hit me and I would be a mess. That took a while to go away and now the second time I am still finding that every now and then I suddenly burst into tears. Maybe going to a counselling session would help?

A.girl - Thinking of you honey. Really hoping you got some positive news at your scan. Hope you are doing ok in general as well.

PP - thanks for thinking of me. Still nothing happening naturally today so I guess the D&C will be it. I have to go in and see the anaesthetist for a quick check up this afternoon. Bit awkward as I called in sick for my shift this afternoon (she told me to) but everyone else at work doesn't yet (probably all will tomorrow) know what's happening and will see me wandering around looking fine (on the outside at least). Oh well, they can all get over it, I have a signed medical certificate and at least one boss knows why I'm off…. so I will try and not care about what they think.

Oh a Girl I am so sorry To hear that. I cant imagine what you are going through at the moment. The biggest and most supportive of hugs to you. We are always here for you for whatever you need. 

Oh a.girl, I am so sorry your scan didnt go well. I really hoped you would get better news :(
