Devastated 8 week scan

Yesterday we had our 8 week scan. We were anxious going in but tried to remind myself I’d had no symptoms to suggest anything was wrong and it would probably be fine, how wrong I was.

Sonographer had a difficult time doing the scan as she said my uterus was quite tense and not cooperating but eventually gave us the bad news. She could see the yolk sac but no embryo, so development had arrested at some point and we are having a miscarriage. I’ve stopped the progesterone pessaries and we are hoping the bleeding starts naturally, but if not we are back in next Friday for another scan and to discuss options to medically manage things.

Absolutely crushed as we had no embryos in the freezer. I just feel like this will never happen for us

I’m so so sorry.

Try not to think too far into the future right now, be as kind to yourself as I’m sure you’d be to someone else in your situation and take your time. Sending hugs and strength xx

I’m so sorry. I think missed miscarriages are especially cruel as everything appears to continue as normal until you get the horrible news which you can’t prepare for as everything was normal. Sending massive hugs ❤️ x

Hi Sarah. Really sorry to hear this, it is devastating. There are no words to make this better but just be kind to yourself, don’t try & rush into feeling ‘ok’ again and try to take some time off work if you can.

You will pick yourself back up again when you’re ready but for now, allow yourself time to grieve.

Sending you a virtual hug 🤗😢 xx
