The main sign of a miscarriage is vaginal bleeding.

But we are fiiiiiiiiine).A miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy during the first 23 weeks. March 2020 be 15 months of trying with no baby, no pregnancy. “I won’t send you to a specialist because there is nothing to treat, you can clearly get pregnant” (cycle 11 was our first pregnancy and it ended in a D&C. “You can try again, you’re so young, you have so much time.” “This means you can get pregnant at least” “You know twins grow really slowly” (trying to comfort me when my baby was growing like 1 day each week?) “The sperm can stay around for weeks” (trying to convince me that even though we only had intercourse at ovulation and not for 4 weeks after that my dates were really 3 weeks behind my ovulation date) “You can get a positive pregnancy test the day after you have intercourse” (trying to convince me I ovulated later than my chart said when I got a +HPT on CD22) Honestly my OB’s actions were awful but his words were even worse. That was a Friday, Monday I found out that it was a missed miscarriage. I tried to ask my family doctor to give me a referral to someone else (in the middle of the chaos, before the D&C was scheduled) and instead he suggested that I wasn’t miscarrying and if I was his prenatal patient that he’d have “no concerns”. Measured 6 weeks 1 day, no heartbeat (supposed to be 10 weeks by now). Doctor says “sorry” and to come back in a week.Ħth ultrasound - confirmation of MMC done by a tech at a different clinic. Again told “that my dates were wrong and everything was fine because there’s a heartbeat and I wasn’t bleeding and to stop stressing”.ĥth ultrasound - a week later. Measured 6 weeks 3 days, heartbeat measured but wasn’t told rate. Regardless I let myself be happy and we told our family about baby.Ĥth ultrasound - a week later, OB bedside transvaginal. Also ignoring my charting and the fact I couldn’t be only 6 weeks according to when we had intercourse). Told relax and everything was fine, since they see a heartbeat then it’s a very low chance I’ll miscarry, my dates must be wrong.” (Again ignoring the first ultrasound and the fact there was slow growth in between.

Sent to ER.ģrd ultrasound - at ER, transvaginal. “Everything looks great”.Ģnd one - (two weeks later) OB “couldn’t see anything” via abdominal ultrasound, said “probably ectopic and to expect the worse” (ignored previous ultrasound and didn’t do transvaginal). I actually had SIX ultrasounds!ġst one - 5 weeks 3 days, gestational sac and fetal pole, transvaginal ultrasound done by OB bedside. Wrong, honestly my whole pregnancy was just a heartbreaking mess. Then I started googling statistics for miscarriage rates, then after hearing the heartbeat, I finally relaxed like my doctor said to because there’s no way the world would be so cruel as to put us in the statistic of people not able to conceive AND the crazy low statistic of people who miscarry after a heartbeat. It took us a year to get pregnant (so we fell into the low statistic of 5-15% of couples who don’t get pregnant in the first year) and I hated that statistic.
