After three weekly scans they confirmed today that the pregnancy is not viable and I will miscarry. Today they could see that the sac had got smaller since last week and the yolk is visible but no other development.
We have opted for the miscarriage to happen naturally. From any previous experience, how soon did you start to bleed after stopping progesterone? I had my last progesterone injection yesterday morning.
Feeling mixed emotions right now. 🙃
Hi TurquoiseWater. So sorry to hear this and I do hope all progresses without too much trouble. Hope you've got plenty of support just now, I know the ladies here will support you. Thinking of you. Diane
Thank you for your kind words. Everyone on this page has been amazing. None of our family members know that we have gone through IVF, only some of my work colleagues who have been absolutely amazing throughout the process!xx
So so sorry to hear this. I can only imagine your grief. I hope you've lots of support from your work colleagues and I'm sending you a big virtual squeeze xx
So sorry to hear this ❤️
So sorry to read this, I went through it last year, it’s heartbreaking and cruel. You take time to grieve and be kind to yourself. Sending you hugs. x
Thank you. How soon after stopping progesterone did you start bleeding? xx
I’m not completely sure , I think it was about 10 days from stopping progesterone x
Ah ok thanks. My scan showed a little bleeding from where the sac has collapsed so I’m thinking maybe i will start to bleed sooner. 🤷🏽♀️
Feel free to message me anytime if you need to talk. Hope the bleed starts soon, the waiting is horrible xx
Hi, we’re you taking progesterone pessaries or injections? I took the injections and still no bleeding. Discharge is very slightly discoloured but nothing else.. The waiting is horrible, just want this part over and done with x
After the first scan I was told to continue with lubion & cyclogest. A week later , I had another scan , still no heartbeat but told to continue cyclogest as there was some growth although they weren’t optimistic so I continued cyclogest for one more week incase 😞 so drawn out .I’m so sorry, I totally empathise, the waiting it the worst x.
Sending kind thoughts. It sounds super hard. 💜
That is a heavy news to hear ...I am really sorry. I don't have an advice for you as I had only chemical pregnancies and my period was coming just few days after stopping medications. I just wanted to send you a big hug and to tell you to not give up 🥰❤️
We felt that this was the best option for us as they didn’t recommend theatre due to possibility of scarring the tissue. xx
I’m so sorry to read this, it’s so heartbreaking. I had a missed miscarriage in April and after coming off IVF meds I started to bleed after 3 days and then it became very heavy by about day 5/6 and then I had some bleeding that gradually got lighter for a couple of weeks. Sending you love and strength. It is physically draining but also emotionally. Feel free to DM me with any questions or if you just want to chat x
Thank you! i can feel slight twinges so I think I will start within a couple of days. Thanks for your support x
I am so sorry you are going through this.
I've waited 2 weeks for the bleeding. And I needed the pills but they started working within 2 hours. Once it happened it was not long at all and not too painful. My body healed very fast and there were no complications. After the 2 hour period of cramps, when the sack and some tissue was discharged, the rest was like a heavy period. It was the best option for me and I would do I again as I believe that if the body is ready it heals quicker.
Stay strong💕
Thanks for the advice and reassurance xx
I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. I went through this last year. The one thing time has shown me is just be kind to yourself. You will go through every emotion possible and it may feel overwhelming at times, but you will get through this and the days will get easier. We didn't tell our family until we'd had it confirmed, we then told them what we needed from them and how we felt and they were amazing. Of course they'll be heartbroken for you, and sometimes they don't use the most appropriate phrases to help you heal, but it all comes from a place of love.I started to bleed about 3 days after I stopped the meds, but I'd also bled before the last scan so may be different! Take pain relief of you need, where comfy clothes, eat what you want, do what you need!
Sending you lots of strength X X x
Thank you. As we started the process we felt that family would just be an added layer of pressure for us and you are right it does come from love but I find it stressful! Thanks for your advice and kind words xx
Completely understand, we never told our family through any of our cycles and needed to focus on us and our coming to terms of the outcome before having to 'burden' them with the disappointment! Fortunately I a couple of close, incredible friends that have listened to me cry, get angry on many occasions!Thinking if you x
Some good advice here so I just wanted to say how sorry I am. It really is the hardest thing. Big hug from me.xx
Thank you xz
Hi Turquoise
I'm so sorry to hear that. I was in a very similar position earlier this year with the awful limbo of the three weekly scans and then the horrible news at the end of it. My heart goes out to you and I hope you can take the time you need to process and grieve.
I opted for medical management so can't advise on your question I'm afraid but didn't want to read and run. Take care.

Thank you. We have come away for two weeks to have time to ourselves and a change of scenery xx
Just wanted to add how sorry I am for what you’re going through. I hope you have lots of support around you, sending big hugs your way x
Thank you xx
Hello love, im so sorry for your loss its harrowing. Similar happened to me i stopped progesterone (pessaries though) and it started to come away 3 days later. I did go on a run the day before to help my head and maybe it along. Im so sorry this is happening to you i wouldn't wish it on anyone xxx
Thank you xx
Update: Heartbeat but not viable 💔
7 wk scan - no viable pregnancy 
Leeds fertility - wont test progesterone! Why?! 
Sensitive - advice about progesterone in pregnancy 
Why won't my doctors let me give up on this pregnancy?
