I am writing this bc i am sure many are in the wait btw finding out ur pregnancy was not viable or that ur precious baby had passed away and the actual physical act of the mc. My husband and i ttc 13 months this time, i finally got my bfp on 8/15/16, after 3 rounds of clomid and 13 months of sadness. My betas went up perfectly. This is not my first mc. I have had 6 pregnancies and this was my 3rd mc. 1/22/13, singleton @ 7w, 8/2/14 same sac twins @ 6w4d, and now 10/19/16, singleton. All of my mc were followed with healthy pregnancies concieved immediately after mc. I have alway had unexplained infertility issues, and it just takes forever for me to get pregnant, then i mc early, and am lucky enough to concieve first cycle after the mc and carry to term. Each of my babies has an angel sibling in heaven watching them now..

On Sept 6, i should have been 6w4d, my u/s showed 5w3d no fetal pole w beta at 15,100, but a nice yolk sac and dr said not to worry as a few betas showed good increases over the next week. 10 days later, i measured 6w4d, small fetal pole w no cardiac activity, beta 35,800, and every us after showed no growth after 7w2d and beta started to really have very little increase.

On 9/21/16 my beta went from 40,000 to 35,000 and continued to decrease 1000-2000 every 48 hrs, but it took 6 weeks and 2 days for my actual mc. The morning befor my mc my beta was 3560, and all my mc i started bleeding after my beta hit 4000ish. I am now 6 days post mc and my beta was 85 yesterday morning. I had alot of bloodwork to monitor for infection or hematology issues, every week. My dr pressured me for the d&c, but i am glad i waited. The risk of scarring and infection, on top of my already hard time getting and staying pregnant, was enough to make me wait it out.

I am not bleeding anymore, yesterday just some spotting and today only when i wipe. The first 4 days after the mc i had medium bleeding. The hour before, and 3 hours after the sac and tissue came out, i had heavy bleeding, that was scary. I almost went to the ER but my dr kept saying if i wasnt filling more than 2 heavy pads an hour, i was probably ok.

I just wanted to share, i hope this helps someone going thru a mmc have some idea about the process.

I am still taking my prenatal vitamins plus my dr put me on a z pack to just protect me from infection due to my desire to ttc immediately, and an iron supplement for this month, after i will have bloodwork to see if i still need the added iron.. i have started using my ovacue but my oral readings are very high and all over the place, i will start taking vag readings today. I have one round of clomid i will use after my period if i am not blessed to concieve this cycle.

My heart is with all the moms going thru infertility and miscarriage, or infant loss. Xoxo..❤
