IVF Miscarriage
I had a miscarriage last night. I went to the doctors yesterday to see the fetal heartbeat. No heartbeat was seen and a possible small embryo. It was not a good prognosis, but my doctor wanted me to continue my meds and come back in one week. When I got home I immediately started bleeding and cramping. Dark blood, then bright red, and shortly there after my 6 week embryo came out. You could see the spinal tail and fetal curl. After that I had minor cramping and brown blood. My clinic is two hours away, so I made an appointment for the weekend so my husband could come with me.
My doctor wants me to continue my progesterone suppositories and estrogen patches but u discontinued. I do not want to retain any dead or dying tissue. We have 5 more frozen embryos, so I am hopeful we can still get a baby out of this cycle.
I feel pretty calm. I stayed home today and had some bad dreams about pregnancy. Not too much cramping. I had a feeling last weekend that I was no longer pregnant. All my symptoms seemed to disappear and I even woke up and said “I’m not pregnant.” I thought it was just my fear but it was my instinct.
I’m 37 and this is the first time ever being pregnant. I had an embryo transfer on December 16 (5-day blastocyst). My husband is very devastated. I have a feeling things will all work out, but idk if that’s me in self-preservation mode. Thanks for listening 🥺
