Hi, I would love to hear everyone’s story and some Reassurance hopefully. So I am coming on to being 7 weeks pregnant, and have been having some light spotting I have had a scan to make sure everything was okay and they mentioned I might be miscarriage in .I haven’t miscarriage naturally and I’ve got a scan tomorrow to double confirm My misscarriage. I am really scared and not knowing what to expect. I would love to know peoples story’s on the medical miscarriage and how it was for them. I have read up having the scrape to get rid of the sack but the side-effects seems so scary and bad what are your thoughts if you’ve had this procedure to ?Also how did you cope and how long did it take for your body to get back to normal and try again for a baby again. Did anyone have any complications or was it okay? also did they have a second healthy pregnancy. I’m so worried that when we try again that this will happen again as I have polycystic ovaries as well. I do have Faith and hope and have a wonderful partner he is so supportive. thank you for taking the time to read my message❤️

I’ve had medical management twice. First time everything was ok. It wasn’t too bad. I went to get a hot water bottle for the pain as I thought it was starting. Then I passed everything. Bleeding settled. Second time around I had more pain and bleeding. No obvious sac (I has an empty sac). Scan showed it was still there. I had tablets again. And I did pass it although I was left with 1cm bit of tissue. Which then passed in my next period. So bit of a mixed bag. I’d have them again if required. I have had surgery before and I did like how that’s was a done deal though after the risk of tablets not working. But I was worried about the risks of surgery. I think in covid days they’d rather you try tablets first anyway?! Sorry you’re having to go through this x

Thank you for your reply. So sorry you have gone through this as well. Sending all my love your way 😘

You have made me feel a little better knowing the tablets isn’t so bad. I am dreading this moment knowing this isn’t going to be an easy ride 😩😩 but it has to be done. How did you feel after this procedure?

Have you manage to get back to normal with your body and fall again ?

I wish you all the best in the near future xx

After tablets I could have gone to work the next day. I felt absolutely fine physically. I’m debating if I’m pregnant again. Positive test but negative digital so I’m going insane!! I hope you get an answer tomorrow with a treatment plan. The thing I found most painful is the waiting. ‘Let’s scan again in a week’ etc. The tablets are fine. Normal to feel shaky afterwards. I have a feeling they made em wait 30minutes. Lying down before I could go home. They tend to give you codeine and anti sickness for home. Just have a nice chilled evening. Should be fine the next day. I did have it once where my body didn’t really react then it did a few days later but not sure that’s normal. They will go through everything and more tomorrow. Think it’s the not knowing. You can message on here if you think of anything. Thinking of you xx

Hi there sorry to hear what you are going through. I had the medical management at 10 weeks, this meant I did it in hospital as I was too far gone to do it at home. I found it okay, I think I told myself I had to do it and just get through and deal with the emotion after. I like you didn’t know what to expect as it was the first time. I would suggest they insert the first tablet vaginally as this can make it work quicker (this was my experience). I had to take 2 rounds of tablets 4 hours apart as the first set didn’t work. The second set removed everything and yes it wasn’t nice but I didn’t have pain relief (it’s offered and they will provide you with strong pain killers). I had a follow up scan a week later to make sure everything had passed because they weren’t sure but it had. It’s not normal practice in my area to scan to make sure but given they weren’t sure. I’d just be careful if they scan you and tell you anything about something else (not miscarriage tissue) to wait and ask for a scan after your next period. They told me I had PCOS when I was scanned but the hormones need to settle before they see anything like that and now they’ve said I don’t. My medical management was my second miscarriage, my first was about six weeks. I am now 12 weeks pregnant so it is definitely possible to get pregnant successfully after it and we waited 2/3 months and that was more to deal with the emotions. It was so much harder to deal with the pregnancy one we confirmed it by test so we waited until 9 weeks and still tried to not tell anyone but in the end I needed the support. It’s awful that you are going through this. If you have any questions ask, it’s the best way

Sorry you had to go through this Jess as well. It’s the most horrible thing and the worst not knowing how the after effect is going to be. It is very hard not to tell people and that’s what we did. After finding out last week we then had to everyone is not okay. It was not good, so next time we ain’t saying till it’s safe. Thank you for your story it’s gave me hope that all will be okay and you can get pregnant again 🙏🏻🙌🏻 I wish you all the best of luck with your new pregnancy ❤️
