Numb and in shock still.

I’ve posted on a miscarriage forum but I really want to be here with you guys. Sorry if this triggers bad memories for others, I am so in shock about our MMC result from our 12 week scan. I can’t think straight, I can’t stop thinking about the plans we’d akready made and how after three ICSI rounds this might have been our only taste of what it’s like to be pregnant. I have chosen to have the op rather than let it happen naturally as I know this can take such a long time and for as long as I still have the baby I keep thinking ... what if... and I know this is common but cruelly I still have my pregnancy symptoms too. However the op can’t be done for another 11 days, I’m scared, anxious, worried about the future and honestly can’t see happier times.

Oh hunni I'm so very sorry, it's just so heartbreaking. I've had two missed miscarriages after my last 2 IVF rounds. I had medical management first time round and the op second time as it never happened naturally the op was by far the better experience for me. I just hope that the next 11 days pass quickly for you, the waiting is always the hardest part. We had to wait about a week and half for the op as we were going to visit family and I didn't want to be traveling at the same time so pushed the op back. I know it doesn't feel like it now but I will get easier, I don't think the pain ever truly goes away you just learn to live with it. Allow yourself time to grieve. Sending you lots of love and big hugs. ❤️ Xxx

I also choose to have a D and C due ti my body still thought i was pregnant.

I really hope it all goes as well as it can do xx

I don't really know what to say other than I'm thinking of you. I've had 2 mmc & waiting for the ERPC was for me the worst part. My losses were from natural pregnancies & I suppose I still had a tiny bit of hope I'd fall pregnant again... I can't imagine how hard it is to deal with after having 3 rounds of ICSI, beyond cruel! I don't mean to sound patronising but it does get a bit easier in time. I can't explain how but you do learn to cope. Look after yourself, take time to grieve properly & try not to bottle things up. I didn't talk about my losses & it caught up with me big time. Gentle hugs xx

How awful. I am so sorry for you. I opted for the pills. However whichever way you go it won't be easy. I really wish you all the best and only thing I can say is that time, and a new plan, can be a healer. We are all here for you. Sending you huge hugs xxx

Oh hun...I was the very same and I could have written that post myself a few months back . I opted for the op too and we opted to take our baby home too..very difficult decision but the right one for us..have you been given that option? I found they told us very little..I called the miscarriage association for advice. also a great book I wished I had found earlier was by Zoe Clarke coattes called saying goodbye..I am right here with you and if you ever need a chat just pm...the wait between being told the heartbreaking news and the procedure is so long..we kept very busy and I think I said I then didn't want to let go..I too asked if they were sure on the day as I still had symptoms. ..it is so so tough..if any consolation procedure itself is straightforward and painless and under a general so asleep the whole time xxx

Hi Hun, like you I suffered a mmc in Dec 2017 and what you’re feeling is completely normal. I’m so sorry you had to suffer this.

Just to let you know time is a great healer, but you will never forget your baby! And they will forever be in your heart. Sending you big hugs💕 xx
