How do you date your MC?

Question

What date did you misscarry? The day the dr said your levels weren't rising? Or the day the tissue passed?  Or the day hgc was no longer detected?  I'm confused when I "officially" had my MC.

Answer

The day I started passing clots was the day I miscarried.

Answer

My baby was alive when I miscarried at 16+4 last Monday, but because the birth was natural, without meds, or a follow up D&C/E, it was considered a still birth. Because I had an "incompetent cervix" it was very sudden, unexpected, and the baby was perfectly healthy other than not being ready for life outside the womb.

Answer

When people ask I say mid-may. I don't remember a date because id rather not dwell on something so awful.

Answer

I use the date that I had major bleeding and clots. I didn't notice the tissue, but before that day was just spitting and after that day was a light period. I consider the "birth" of my child to be when the majority of the action took place.

Answer

My date was the day I received the devastating news at my ultrasound appointment. From the size of my beautiful baby, the doctors confirmed that the baby had died just hours before my appointment, so the same day.

Answer

I count when I had full on red flow and started passing the tissue
