As if 13 hours in and 3 lots of tablets without anything happening wasn’t enough. The nurse who’s now looking after me is pregnant, the day staff were so lovely and caring but the night staff seem to have no idea 😩
All I wanted was for this to happen quickly so we could hopefully meet our little baby and have the chance to say goodbye. Feel so annoyed at my body, first of all it can’t conceive naturally then it can’t keep my baby alive and now it won’t let them go 💔

Awwwwww hun you are seriously being tested aren't you. Bless you both. I really feel for yous. Such a horrid situation to be in feeling the way you are too. Oh hun sending you lots of love. 💗🤗😘
Oh Hun, it's awful that you can't let this happen in the comfort of your own home. I'm still waiting for things to happen too but atleast I get to be home. I really hope things start to progress for both of us. We both need to move on from this mentally however emotionally I know it will be sometime. Love nhugs x
😞 you couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried 😞 it just gets harder doesn’t it? I’m surprised you were in for the day in the first place because I was sent home within an hour of taking my pills. I really hope things start happening for you soon and in the meantime that you get some rest xx
all I can say is you're in the best place. I was glad I was in hospital when I went through mine. Maybe things are sent to test us. Who knows. But when you get your happy ending (and you will), it'll be the best thing ever and you'll appreciate it more because you know what you've gone through to get there. Xx
I was in hospital about 10 hrs in total. Had the first tablets around 10 am which did nothing and the second lot around 1 which did work within about 2 hrs. I lost a lot of blood so they kept me in to check blood pressure and ensure bleeding had stopped. One thing it did make me realise is you are stronger than you think and you will be too. Hope you get some help from the consultant . Lots of love xx
There discharging me and scanning me tomorrow. That was the same as me last year, it worked after the 2nd lot of tablets and then I was out after the bleeding settled a little think that’s why I thought this year it would be the similar xx
Oh no. So hard. You’d think they’d have a bit more sensitivity about who they place to work in that area. I hope you’re ok. Sending you big hugs. Xxxxxxxx
Just seen you’re post about seeing the consultant. You must be exhausted. Wish there was something I could do to help you xxxx
I'm so sorry you are having to go through all this it is just awful. My heart breaks for you. I hope you get to see the consultant soon and that things start happening. Lots of love and big hugs xxxx
You haven’t done anything wrong. Life can just be bloody unfair sometimes! Please try not to beat yourself up for it. I hope you get the chance to say goodbye very soon. The light will come at some point- it has to. Sending lots of love to you. Xxx
Thank you, definitely will be more comfortable at home. There saying I might have passed baby without realising in the week but I don’t see how that’s possible xx
I agree with this totally, you'd know if you did pass the baby. Even if you fail to spot the big clot that's supposed to pass out (I doubt it can be missed though), there will be heavy bleeding and some kind of a nauseous feel as well as possibly all the AF type things - most women will have them. I know it's not really possible to hold onto emotions at this point but still, I'll ask you to try, till the scan at least.
Thank you, this is exactly what i thought until they told me baby might have passed without me knowing as last year I passed the sac and definitely knew about it.
They shouldn't have said that and put doubts in your mind your vulnerable at this stage and medical staff sending you home with that thought in your mind (even though you would know) they should have scanned you while you were there instead of saying something like that
I really wonder sometimes what goes on in ppls brains. I'm glad your at home were your more comfortable I hope things start happening soon bless you 💗🤗😘
I know I feel like my minds working over drive now think ‘what if’ but surely if something had happened in the week there would of been blood? Just feel emotional exhausted now and they’ve said they’ll ring me tomorrow to book me in for a scan in the week can even guarantee it’ll be tomorrow xx
Idiots. Yes there would have been blood you'd know. Why on earth would they even suggest such a thing. Silly ppl. I hope things start progressing pretty soon because the waiting is making matters even more stressful. Sending you lots of love 💗🤗😘
I know I can’t believe they’ve just left me feeling all these what ifs. I’m glad others think I’d know if baby had passed already as they looked at me like I was crazy when I said I’m sure id know xx
Yeah and even while I was in I only passed 2 small clots in my urine never had full bleeding. I know it’s pointless but I’ve done a test since being home which is still a strong positive surely if baby had passed it wouldn’t still be as strong xx
I don't understand why they've said that to you and sent you home it's ridiculous. You were there that long they should have either kept you in and scanned you in the morning or kept their weird opinions to themselves and sent you home and called you when a scan would be done in case nothing has progressed. I don't know but you needent have had this added to your already very stressful time xx
Thank you, I know this whole thing is just like a nightmare. When they ring I’m gona push that I’m scanned tomorrow and not just left until during the week xx
Yes do tell them what they've said is playing in your mind and you'll happily wait just get seen too in fact you ring them first thing they have bad habits of not ringing when supposed too. Xx
Omg this is so awful for you. I’m so sorry. If you haven’t bled and the pregnancy test is still strong then surely you haven’t passed it? Definitely push for a scan. Have you begun to prepare yourself for the thought of a d&c? I’d assume that’s the next step if it doesn’t pass. 😥
That’s what I thought until the stupid consultant this morning. They’ve said if the scan shows baby hasn’t moved at all then I can re try the tablets in a weeks time.
I didn’t really want a d&c as we wanted to have some sort of service for baby and we can’t from that option. Equally not sure I can put myself through more unsuccessful tablets, guess after the scan il know more and we can decide.
If you're somewhere in the 8-10 weeks the HCG levels will take about 5-7 days to get back to 0 from the point of the loss. For more advanced stage of gestation, it may take up to 15 days. 2 weeks is the highest time for fading of BFP on HPT that I've personally heard of from fellow struggling women.
I'm not sure what the dark BFP indicates at this point and won't really get your hopes high based on assumptions. However, both my MCs (8 weeks and 9 week) faded visibly around the 5th day and by 8th it was all gone.
You are going thorugh something terrible dear... I am really sorry for that. I wish there was something that I could do to help you. The only thing there is though, it's a virtual tap on the back. Your story is super sad. God do I wish things were different! However that's life and there is nothing that we can do about it but keep fighting. I am sure that god has a plan for you. Have just a little more patience, something big is waiting for you. God never takes everything away from you. Maybe, actually scrap that, I know that the rewards for this will be gigantic! I just hope that you find the patience needed to make it to the rewards. God bless you both. May all your dreams come true dear, you deserve it!
PS: Try not to be so harsh on yourself. This is out of your control and hating yourself won't give you any good. Stay strong and believe in yourself.
I'm sorry you're having to go through this. I had to go into hospital for 3 overnight stays over 3 weeks for the medical management to finally be competed. I didn't pass the babies in hospital but several days later whilst out and about, the 1st twin after the 2nd stay and the 2nd twin after the 3rd stay. It was obvious when they passed what they were. I was told that if it didn't work 3rd time that they would do D&C. I naively thought that it would be completed during the first go but my body decided otherwise. They did scan me but this was several days after each stay to check what was happening and to plan next steps. The waiting was distressing and with retrospect I wish I'd gone for D&C. Pregnancy hormones continued to be present until the mc was finally completed one day I woke up and didn't feel pregnant any more, this was confirmed by urine test at the hospital.
Hopefully you'll get to speak to someone tomorrow who can advise you on next steps.
Thank you for sharing with me, am so sorry for your losses. Do you mind me asking how far gone you were? I think because last year it worked straight away I to expected it to work again, they’ve said it the scan shows baby hasn’t passed i can try the tablets again in a weeks time x
Mmc discovered at 12 week scan, they said the babies died at just over 8 weeks. They were identical twins from a natural conception, we didn't know at that stage that there were fertility issues. I assumed that everything was OK with the pregnancy as no bleeding and I felt pregnant, it was an awful shock to find out that we'd lost the pregnancy. I'd had a natural mc previous to that so assumed that medical management would be similar but it wasn't.
So sorry again for your losses but thank you, it’s given me some re assurance of what I thought before the consultant decided to mess with my head this morning
Sorry to hear whatever the consultant said has messed with your head. Have you been signposted to The Miscarriage Association? They have a website and a helpline. I found it really helpful.
Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles! Having had 2 MCs and still on the stride of trying for a baby, I can totally relate to what you're feeling. You can't really blame your body for this, it's painful to bear with it I know but clinically it's just like any other ailment that just happens and you can't do much to help it really other than the treatment. It's just a heartbreaking ride but can't give up on hope - that's what keeps us going. Sending you lots of love!
Thinking of you I'm so sorry that this horrible journey continues for you. I really hope that you get seen again tomorrow so that you can get answers. Xxx
— Just wanted to thank you all for the continued support couldn’t of got through this weekend without it. Spoken to early pregnancy and they won’t scan me until Thursday apparently that’s there protocol, they want to see if anything happens naturally first. Everyone seems to be contradicting themselves and forgetting I’m left not knowing what to think or expect 😢 looks like we’re in for another long week 😔 xx
Awww hun. This is ridiculous it's so unfair I hope someone sees sense and treats you like a human instead of a flipping protocol. I know that doesn't make sense but you know what I mean. They say one thing and do another put rubbish in your head when you can't take no more. I'm really mad for you and i just want to let you know where all thinking of you and here if you want to rant get it out. Lots of love hun hope things start progressing soon 💗🤗😘
How traumatic this must be for you both. I hope you're able to be seen sooner rather than later. Thinking of you xx
So sorry. I hate my body too because it won't just do It! The nurse situation is really so insensitive. I know resources are so tight but honestly. Thinking of you x
