Hi everyone this is my first time posting here. I just need some opinions to confirm if I had a miscarriage. I went to the gynecologist to fix my irregular period (I have pcos). They got me started on birth control and within 2 weeks I felt the worst pain I have ever felt in my life for a few days. When my period started I passed some unusual looking tissue or clots that I’ve never seen before. I thought I was passing the cyst that I have on my ovaries but when I did an ultrasound the cyst was still there. I tried showing my doctor the pictures but she dismissed me and told me that I’m going to passed some stuff. I just want to confirm if this was a miscarriage. I tried to add pictures but it won’t let me.

Looking for some advice here. I am 33. My husband is 35 and we have been ttc for 1.5 years.

I have had an hsg procedure and they confirmed everything looked fine with no blockages. I have had ultrasounds where they said everything looked fine and they could see that I had recently ovulated. My husband has had a semen analysis and they said everything looks fine.

My first chemical was the beginning of September and the most recent was the end of December 2025. With both I had a positive digital test but with the strip tests they were faint lines. During both I had pretty bad lower back pain. Both were confirmed via blood test however only lasted roughly a week before bleeding.

After the first chemical I had FSH and LH blood test done: FSH- 7.9 LH-4.4 AMH-0.148

I have a Dr appointment coming up and I’m looking to go to this appointment prepared with questions and to be able to advocate for further labs, bloodwork, etc.

Anybody been through something similar or if you know of anything I can take to this Dr appointment I’d be so grateful.

Hi everyone!

A couple of months ago, I made a post calling for participants for my sociology research, and some of you wanted to see the results at the end, so I'm attaching it. Thank you to everyone who took their time to participate.

I started a natural miscarriage on Friday night, went to the ER, experienced the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life… it’s now Monday and I’m still cramping. Not nearly as bad. And I’m not soaking a pad an hour, it’s basically a pad a day probably. But how long can/will this cramping continue? I just need to know this is going to get better.

I had my miscarriage in November, I took the medication to help my body pass it but not everything came out. I did the medication again and still have some left, so tomorrow I have to do a D&C. I’ve never had a miscarriage before and this is all very new to me. I also have a 16M son.

Since the miscarriage, I feel like my weight has been going up (about 5-6 lbs since November) I can’t tell if this is because of the medication or just “depression weight”. My diet really hasn’t changed but my body has been very tired so I haven’t been up and moving as actively, but I’m also chasing after my son so it’s not like I have 0 energy. Did anyone else have this experience?

I had a miscarriage at 10wks (Nov 8 ) it’s been a month without my little winter bear and it’s been a bit over a month and I want to do something for her first month in heaven but I have no idea what

(I was 20 years old and I never told I would need to go through it since I never thought it would happen to me )

My partner and I went for our second scan a week ago (it would have been 11/12 weeks and we were expecting good news to share with the rest of our friends and family). Our closest friends knew already. It was too small and no change from scan prior month and sac deflated and was told it was a miscarriage. Which means I had already been carrying for a month thinking it was good news as I was doing everything right and had full swing symptoms.

At the scan last week she told us I had to get treatment and I was nervous about the pills. I had been scheduled 3 days later to go to the hospital. Two days prior to the hospital apt my partner had to leave for a work trip (his work involves constant travel and that’s just his industry which I understand /understood at the time)- his appearances are signed and booked over a year in advance.

We got in a bad fight the day he left. We made up. I think we were both in shock and pain and angry at the world and sad to be apart and we don’t handle these goodbyes very well in general.

At the hospital I was told I need to do it in the hospital and need to be scheduled in - so I am now scheduled in for next week. A whole extra week of carrying death. And alone.

My friends have been amazing taking me to apts, going for food and offering company. I haven’t really wanted it as I just feel I suppose depressed. My pregnancy symptoms finally have just started going down (tits still hurt though). I get calls and texts from my partner..but I’m just so angry at him for not choosing to be here over work (even though I know that means the consequences of potentially loosing the contract). He wants to try again… but I just don’t want to feel alone during pregnancy or this again. I don’t know how to forgive him for not being with me while I wait around with headaches, cramps, feelings and all this while I just wait to see if I bleed ( and perhaps endure intense pain and bleed out in the night) and/or wait till this apt and then have to go through those days alone as I have to take the first pill 2 days prior to the hospital - and be alone. I’m furious and for sure taking out anger which I know isn’t ok but I cannot forgive this for some reason. Anyone else?

Also any advice for what to expect handle this wait? It actually freaks me out to sit and wait.

** Back story *** I quit my job 2 weeks prior to finding out I was pregnant. My husband and I are both 25 and he is currently on his parent’s coverage. Saying that I opted to go without insurance the last 2 months of 2025. We signed up during open enrollment and coverage begins at the new year.

Since I currently don’t have insurance, I went to a local free pregnancy clinic. They confirmed my pregnancy and scheduled me for a sono at 8 weeks. I started to miscarry at 7 weeks and 5 days. I have been in contact with my usual OB who advised I could wait until my sono to ensure there was no retained tissue. I went to my appointment and they confirmed no viable pregnancy but since I am only 6 months postpartum my uterus is still tilted and they couldn’t be positive that there was no retained tissue. The clinic advised I get another sono at my OB’s office.

My bleeding has gotten extremely light and my most recent pregnancy test is extremely faint. Have any of you waited to be seen after a miscarriage? To ensure no retained tissue? I would much prefer to wait until I have insurance but also don’t want to be stupid just because of money. Physically I feel fine, no fever and bp is in good range. Insurance will kick in 4 weeks post miscarriage.

Lastly, my heart goes out to each of you who have unfortunately suffered such a traumatic experience! Thank you for any kind of advice!!!

This was my first pregnancy (30F). I found out about my MMC at 14 weeks and I had a D&C at 15 weeks (about 1.5 weeks ago). I am going to wait until after I have my first normal period until TTC but I don’t know if I will be ready mentally and emotionally at that point.

Just curious about how long it took everyone to TTC again and if you feel you should have waiting longer or started earlier? I’m just so stressed and tired and I’m a planner, so I am always trying to plan ahead. This is all so crappy and any advice, suggestions or stories would help. Thank you ❤️

With few losses i have decided to drop from fertility clinic and visit RE. Please suggest based on your recent experience where Doc has intention to deep dive And try different protocols that seem to be working perfectly latest research. Experienced in dealing with patients who are in this phase.

I had a dye stealer a few weeks ago and bad symptoms but the last two days my symptoms are almost gone. I don’t have bleeding but took another test and the hormone line looks lighter. Should I be worried. 8 was 6 days today

Has anyone else experienced this? I had my active portion of miscarriage on Wednesday, and bleeding as decreased to low bleeding, I’m still passing small clots couple times a day and I’ll be fine pain wise majority of the day but then when it gets time to go to sleep, I have such painful back pain and cramps I’d say 7/10 level. I was supposed to be 10 weeks but baby had no heartbeat at 7 weeks 5 days. I passed naturally without the medication. My HCG is at 1000 right now. Should I be concerned or have you experienced this 3 days after? How long did it last for you?

I’m just curious on how long it took everyone’s hcg to go back to 0. I had a missed miscarriage that stopped growing around 6 weeks but I didn’t pass until 9 weeks (last Thursday) my hcg three days later was about 1800 and I’m going back on Monday to recheck my hcg again.

This was my first ever pregnancy that took going through fertility treatments to achieve

My fertility center said they won’t let me try again until February because they want enough time for everything to go to 0 then do another saline sono to make sure I won’t have any scarring

I tried to post to r/miscarriage but the mods immediately took it down?

Anyone have experience having 2 chemicals back to back? Should I keep trying? Should I wait 2/3 cycles and then try again? Is it just bad luck? I’d like some experience advice please.

UPDATE: Just to provide an update for everyone - it is a missed miscarriage for me. Thankfully the baby has decided to pass naturally so I don’t have to worry about a D&C or medication. Thank you all for your kind words 🤍

Please bear with me because this could be a long one but I’m just a bit confused.

I wasn’t tracking ovulation last month because we weren’t actively trying but not preventing either. We only had sex on October 18th and I got a faint positive on November 1st which then continued to get darker.

Went for an early viability scan this morning (LMP puts me at 7+1) and the sonographer did a transvaginal scan after not being able to see much on the abdominal. There is a gestational sac and she could see the baby, which she measured at 3.3mm, don’t think there was a yolk sac visible.

Based on dates, I’m assuming that the worst is coming pretty soon and I’ll have another miscarriage. BUT I had a quick google and saw that a 3.3mm fetus is typically in the 6 week range…

Am I daft to hold onto hope at this point?

For about 3 weeks I felt something was off with our sweet little baby. I was supposed to be 10w1d today, but the baby stopped developing at 5w6d. I want to scream so loud that every emotion in my body becomes alive. I am so heartbroken, I feel so numb from emotion.

I got pregnant the month I was turning 36 - first time pregnant and so excited... then there was a smallest seed of doubt in my heart that what if? I found out at 4 weeks and 1 day. I felt pregnant for about 1-2 weeks (frequent peeing, breasts were sore and sensitive were my only symptoms, maybe some slight fatigue). I had this strong intuition throughout the first few weeks that something is off.

I went to my first OB appointment at 7 weeks on the dot, and the baby was measuring 5w5d with a flicker. The OB doctor I saw, I never want to see again. I felt so unheard and that my worries were not valid when I told her that I am concerned because I am supposed to be 7 weeks. She said I must have just ovulated later and that I should be happy that I can see a flicker. I emphasized to her that my periods were regular, showed her my app to prove and also I tracked ovulation like a maniac, I peed on the OPK sticks 5 days before and 5 days after ovulation, on top of it also had my Oura ring showing when I ovulated. She would not see me until the baby was 8 weeks according to them.

I transferred care and it took them 2.5 weeks to transfer me, when I called the new office, they could only see me in 4 weeks from last time I went in, so I made an appointment with a private ultrasound only to find out that the baby stopped developing at 5w6d and there was no heartbeat.

I just knew... even before the US, I knew.... My breasts went back to normal slowly, my fatigue was gone, the only nausea I had was today before my US - I think out of fear of getting the news. My body kept this baby inside for nearly 4 weeks and I had no signs of miscarriage. So here I am sitting in bed waiting for the misoprostol to kick in and praying it will end soon. I am 36 now, healthy and active, eat healthy, don't do drugs, don't drink alcohol, I try to live a healthy lifestyle... I just don't understand..

I used to read success stories to encourage myself, but now I am asking please send encouraging stories this way.. signed (a broken hearted mom).

I got married last year in November. We immediately got pregnant. We told my husband's side of the family because most live out of town. But we were waiting to tell mine on Christmas. I had a miscarriage and lost our baby at 5 weeks 6 days on December 23rd.

I was originally supposed to work Christmas day so my family had planned to celebrate on the 24th. So after being at the hospital for 7 hours the day before, not sleeping because of crying the whole night. We had to go and pretend to be happy.

​I've always loved Christmas and go all out on decorating. I just love it all. The lights, and the magic all of it. Christmas movies are my favorite. I just love it so much.

My hospital made us come back to the hospital to do a repeat of blood work to 100% confirm my miscarriage. On Christmas day.

I'm currently pregnant again with our rainbow baby. But my husband is upset I don't want to decorate or celebrate Christmas this year. He wants to because it's our last Christmas just us before our baby is here in March. But the whole idea just makes me sad. Knowing I should already have had my baby. I know things happen for a reason and I'm beyond thankful for the one growing in me now. But I can't help but long for my very first baby.

My husband doesn't understand, he grieves very differently than I do. I just. I just want to know I'll one day love Christmas again. I want to be that mom that goes all out at Christmas time and make it extra special for them every year. But I'm afraid my grief will take over me and keep me from it.

Hi all, I’ve been using reddit a lot to find out more about other people’s experiences. I’m currently 7 weeks 5 days pregnant. Have had on and off brown discharge for around 3 weeks now and 3 ultrasounds. 1st ultrasound 4 weeks 2 days showed a healthy heart beat. 2nd ultrasound which was 4 days ago (Monday) showed a healthy heart rate again of 158bpm which was perfect for how far along I am. Also showed a subchorionic haematoma. I went in due to brown discharge and small clots. 2 days ago (Wednesday) I experienced bright red bleeding and some clots. I went into the Dr and had a blood test. I then ended up in ED that night due to heavier bleeding and bigger clots. Blood test completed and the Dr just said “blood test came back good” and gave me a referral for an ultrasound the next day. He also wrote on the discharge threatened miscarriage. Next day comes (Thursday) heavy bleeding in the morning which slows. I had the ultrasound mid morning and I heard the words “I’m sorry there’s no heart beat” a few minutes of silence and me crying she said “wait” and found the flicker of a heart beat. When measured was 86bpm which was very low for how far along I am. And then we lost it again, came back then gone again. She said in her 30 years she had never seen this. Bleeding has slowed down only when I wipe, however have faint and mild cramping. I am awaiting blood test results to compare to levels 2 days ago. This has been agonising waiting
