Miscarriage and d&c

Lisa

Hi all, for any of you going through a miscarriage I'm so sorry for your loss.

I don't really know where to start. Me and dh have been ttc for 4 years. After 2 rounds of ivf this year we got our first ever positive in July this year. Over the moon we were.

7 week scan baby was seen with a heartbeat and said everything looked fine and also nurse wasn't sure as there was another sac but couldn't tell if it would develop any further so went back for a scan following week. To be told those dreaded words I'm sorry there's no heartbeat. So the one sac was empty and the baby we thought we had was no more. Complete and utter devastation.

So as it was a missed miscarriage as my body still thought it was pregnant I opted for the pessaries to start the process. Well fast forward 3 weeks, the blood and tissue I'd passed after the pessaries was not all of it. And ended up having a D&C; last week.

The thing is those three weeks even though they were physically and emotionally so so difficult I felt emotionally I was making some kind of slight improvement. Now after the D&C; I'm a complete emotional wreck! Am I right in thinking it's a crash in hormones? Because this is all day crying near enough. I know eventually time will make things easier but this rollercoaster of emotion at the moment is unbearable. I just wanted to see if any of you ladies have had similar experiences?

Thank you so much x
