Sad news at 10 week scan😢

Hello ladies, a bit of a sad update from me. Had a scan at the clinic yesterday and unfortunately there was just an empty sac. The embryo had completely regressed. We were so hopeful before Christmas as everything looked fine at the viability scan. (heartbeat etc). Clinic says embryonic failure. I really thought this was our time. As it was our last frozen embryo we now need to wait for another donor in the Uk or go abroad. So gutted!!!

Oh I’m so sorry for your loss- after having a first positive scan it’s just awful to find out this news later on and just shows you can never stop worrying! No words can describe the sadness- take time to grieve and then move forward to make your next plan.

We used a clinic in Greece - 2-3 month waiting list for donors- too early to say if first round worked yet but clinic was great. Pm if you want more info anytime or just to chat. Big hugs to you and your partner. Xx

Awww andromedae, Im so sorry sweetheart! Absolutely heartbreaking for you to have to go through this. We are just about to start a new cycle also but are, as Im sure you know going abroad as the waiting time is shorter but you may well need time to gather some strength before you decide to move forward after some grieving time. Sending love and massive hugs, its all so incredibly unfair!!xxx

Thanks Cinderella! My UK clinic has recommended a clinic in Spain that has shorter waiting times so might look into it at some point.

Really hope this time is your time Cinderella! Keeping everything crossed.

We will get back on the horse at some point but right now I just want to pull the duvet over my head.

❤️❤️

So sorry for your loss. It’s so cruel, especially after a successful viability scan - it makes everything seem so real. Be kind and gentle to yourself, grieve in your own way and know that at some point you will start to heal (I promise). Sending love x

So so sorry to read this, I don’t imagine it’s much consolation but my docotr said he really sees a pattern of ladies who have several failures then an early miscarriage then a later miscarriage and then a healthy baby. So hopefully this means you will get there xx

❤️Thank you so much lovely ladies for all your comments. Hope you all have had a good start to the year❤️

I might need to ask this in a new post but my clinic has said that I can either wait for a bleed (should come within the next 2 weeks but might last for 2 weeks as well) or have a D&C a small operation under GA. Not sure what I should do. Any opinions on this?

With my miscarriage I decided to wait for it and have it naturally at home. It happened 2 weeks after we found out. I felt I needed that in order to have a closure and I wanted it to happen in our own home rather than in a hospital. I then buried my baby under a white rose plant which is now in our garden.

So sorry for this sad news especially having a viable pregnancy, it’s making me feel nervous now and thinking I may book a private scan. My clinic only gives me one scan at 7 weeks and then has signed me back to my gp. Was there a reason why they wanted you to come back at 10 weeks or do they just offer it to you. It’s such awful news. I really hope you are ok sending you lots of love. X

andromedae9 in reply to Miraclebabyno2

Thanks Miraclebabyno2 and congratulations!

We were offered by the clinic to come back at 9-10 weeks and we thought it was a good idea as we felt that there was quite a long time between the viability scan and the NHS scan and retrospectively that I would rather hear potential bad news from the sonographer I always see than someone on the NHS that I might see once.

Try not to worry. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

andromedae9 in reply to FrancyItaly

Hi, thank you so much for asking. I have taken 2 weeks off work. Visited the Epu for a scan and I don't need an OP. I know I'm not the only person going through sth like this but at times I still can't believe this has happened. Feeling so tired of this process.

How are you doing?

Aw I know, at least you don’t need an OP which is better. I’m ok, I’m doing all I can to feel better each day and trying to take all negative thoughts out of my mind. Some days are easier than others, but I’m definitely better x
