Update:

Beta HCG: 2 days before mc = 8593. Prog 15.4
Beta HCG: m/c +5 = 845

Hemoglobin rose from 70 to 80 in 2 days (dr thinks they were diluting my blood too much in hospital with all of the saline they were pumping....i don't care! I will take it!

Passed some more tissue last night. Hopefully that's the end of it.

Feeling so much better. I can go up& down stairs without my head pounding.

oh i'm so glad to hear it!!! great news!!!!!

Update: M/C +14

i had a week of heavy bleeding (2 excessively heavy), 1 medium, 2 light, some spotting and now light bleeding again on cd14. So i went for a follow-up u/s.

Good News:
* uterus & ovaries looks normal
* gestational sac is passed

Bad News:
* still have 14 mm retained tissue in the middle of my uterus (which explains the bleeding & why my HPT are still +)

Good News About the Bad News:
* 15 mm or less Dr is expecting this to resolve spontaneously
* blood is still fresh
* temp normal

So overall I am praying for my body to heal and take care of this soon. I continue with my 100 mL Floradix per day and also going to acupuncture a few times per week to move things along.

Note on the acupuncture: The bleeding was turning brown and was starting to have an "off" smell, but after a session of acupunture yesterday (and some disgusting herbs to 'flush the uterus') my bleeding picked up overnight. And is red and fresh again. So hopefully this treatment will help gently nudge things along.

OMG! You're miscarriage sounds terribly similar to mine from last year. Horrendous! And after reading your recount of events, I really don't think I have it in me to try again. I just feel too terrified of the same thing happening all over again or of having a baby stay put that has something wrong with it. I hope you are doing OK now and that your body gets rid of the retained products on its own. You poor thing having to endure all of this around the ChristmAs period (although no time is a good time for a MC). How do you think your DH will feel about trying again after all of this? Wishing you a speedy recovery and, if it's what you still really want, I hope the new year grants you your wish for a perfectly healthy baby girl. Xxoo

Yes, my miscarriage was terrible! Way worse than the one in Feb. Only losing the twins was more traumatic. I thought since the baby died 6w3d I'd have it over with quickly...boy was I wrong!

But I survived...and I am healing....and those few weeks of pregnancy I was so so happy. Those days were precious. Even though I won't be holding my baby in my arms this summer, I will see all of my angels again someday. I am not sorry I tried.

I value my children a lot more. Each one is a gift.

I don't know what tomorrow may bring, however I refuse to let FEAR rule over me

I choose HOPE...FAITH...LOVE....and LIFE

Good on you MrsG. I really admire your strength, your courage and your positivity. I hope you are healing well, physically and emotionally. How did you go with the retained products? Hopefully your body will expel them on its own. I took iron tablets after my MC and also found eating some comfort foods that were good for iron helped as well...like almonds and dark chocolate. They just helped, as well as red meat and green veggies. And extra cuddles with the kids and extra time doing things with them. Xx
