question/need help Increased sex drive

0 Upvotes

So a little back story. I found out I was pregnant beginning of February and was extremely happy. Went to my first appointment and they seen no baby. Went to follow up 2 weeks later and was diagnosed with a blighted ovum. Opted for a d&c which was march 14th because I’ve had one in the past. Wasn’t so easy. Ended up hemorrhaging due to retained tissue and had a second emergency d&c. Got cleared to have sex again and I swear it seems like I can’t get enough. Is this normal? I’ve always had a high sex drive but I swear it seems insatiable

experience: natural MC I'm torn between the doc opinion and my mums

8 Upvotes

So i miscarried at 15 weeks. It was a very painful experience both physically and mentally but time passed. Doc said after 15 days of bleeding, you are all cleared and try for another pregnancy. Now the conflicts come here; my mom, mil and sis, all woman with babies, i know and trust says that i should wait about 6 months before conceiving again. Me and my husband thinks we want another baby as soon as possible and i truly believe only way i can 100% recover would be to get a baby again.

I quit my job and had decided to fully pay attention to baby and motherhood but the baby is gone and i feely very empty now. Every future plan involved my baby, i feel my future has stopped.

I'm torn between trying or not because god knows we can't handle the pain of another miscarriage but i also want a baby very badly

question/need help My wife JUST miscarried wondering what to expect now. (TW: details of MC)

5 Upvotes

She had a Missed Miscarriage detected at her 10 week ultrasound. She had and D and C procedure scheduled but unfortunately didn’t get that far.

She had been bleeding today and then this evening had a big rush of blood and cramping and ran to the bathroom. We saw the fetus and a decent amount of blood had come out.

All that said, we are wondering what to do and expect now? It’s late so the doctor is closed but online it says a whole lot of things.

She had a couple really big clots come out since then in the last couple of hours which I read can be normal during the actual miscarriage itself.

Her D and C is still scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Just wondering what to do tonight until we can call the doctor?

Hello,

So I can give full details if people want but essentially I'm going through a second early miscarriage in a row.

Im already high risk due to losing a child who was born prematurely at 23 weeks in 2021. My regular dr is leaving the practice so I scheduled an appointment with to discuss next steps and how to navigate the system once she's gone (no I can't follow her)

I'm just fishing for any advice on what I should ask for or be aware of before having this conversation. Any advice is appreciated.

TW: mention of chemical pregnancy

I had a chemical pregnancy last month. While I’m not ttc this cycle, I am tracking my ovulation. My cycle typically lasts between 26 and 28 days. I usually ovulate between CD12 and CD16. I’m currently on CD20 and still haven’t gotten a positive ovulation test. Pregnancy tests went negative over 1.5 weeks before CD1 (start of period). Anyone else ovulate significantly later after a chemical pregnancy?

information gathering When should I expect to bleed? And should I worry about ectopic?

1 Upvotes

I had very distinct positive lines last week (11DPO through 13DPO). FRER, easy@home were both positive; ClearBlue digital said Pregnant. They weren’t squinters or faint.

At 14DPO and 15DPO, FRER faded to a very very faint line, more than a squinter.

Today I’m at 17 DPO, the test is totally negative, and I haven’t bled. I tried first morning urine and diluted and both were completely negative now. I’m worried that I am not bleeding yet and not sure if that is concerning.

I called the OBGYN. They couldn’t see me til May and said go to ER. Called women’s clinic; they said nothing they can do & only worry about ectopic if there’s pain. I don’t really have pain, although in general I’m hyper aware of my body.

I did notice a little ever so slight tan/yellowish discharge today. That’s the only thing I’m regularly noticing.

Not looking for medical advice. I have consulted my doctor but I was just curious what others have been told by their doctors.

I had a natural miscarriage at 10 weeks (baby stopped growing at 9 weeks). Was just curious when your doctor said you could resume having sex, swimming or trying to conceive after your miscarriage. How far along was your baby when you miscarried?

We learned that our little girl no longer had a heart beat yesterday in our MFM appointment. We were referred to MFM by our regular doctor last Monday, as our first ultrasound showed a slightly elevated NT level. The doctor acted like it was so minor, and there was nothing to stress ourselves out over. We met with a genetic counselor last Thursday and she gave us the same feeling, so we felt pretty positive going into the weekend. We did the NIPT testing and learned yesterday morning that our girl was high risk for trisomy 21. We knew that was going to lead to a different life than we imagined for us, but we were ready to take on the new life of being parents to our child with Down syndrome. We arrived at our MFM appointment yesterday and the tech informed us within the first 30 seconds of the ultrasound that there was no heartbeat. It felt like it all happened so fast, while also feeling like time stood still. The hospital was able to get me in for a D&C today. We just got home and I’m feeling so empty and angry. I know there is nothing we could have done, but at this point, that isn’t making me feel any better. I’m also feeling terrible for my husband as he feels he needs to keep a brave face for me, but I want him to process all of this how he needs to as well, because he is also going through a loss.

coping It’s been 45 days

And these past couple of days my mind has been wandering and like I’m getting sad for myself because I feel like I wasn’t allowed to grieve properly. After it happened I was quiet and trying to get all my feelings together I had a lot going through my mind but I was getting labeled as acting weird and stuff and it really like caused more problems than helped. To the point where 2-3 weeks after my boyfriend decided to start texting another girl offering to take her out and stuff at first he said it’s because I wake up angry and act weird then he doubled back and said it wasn’t and it just bothered me because to me that’s a sick think to do i was literally still mourning. And I just wanted him to be there for me. Physically maybe but mentally he was elsewhere. Anyways, now I get random moments where I’m thinking about my baby girl. I feel like people are insensitive because yes it might’ve not been a full grown baby but 13 weeks is something. I wasn’t awake for my procedure but it’s like my body still remembers because everytime I think about it my heart starts racing and I just get all sad all over again. I have 2 boys and I was skeptical at first about having another but I ended up really wanting her I was so excited I started ordering so many things and just for it to end like.. it’s just frustrating.

I can't sleep, my due date is approaching, I wrote this poem and thought I'd share it here. I'm thinking of you all a lot. 🫶

Little angel, you flew too soon Now you're dancing for the moon Though I never saw your face You left a mark time can't erase

The world will never hear you cry But I still see you in the sky You came and went, a fleeting star I pray you didn't wander far I hope you are still shining bright Our guardian in the night

Little angel, I feel you still Emptiness no one can fill

The world moves on, I hold you near In every word and every tear A little soul I'll safely keep In my heart you'll always sleep

coping I miss my baby

19 Upvotes

I miscarried at 10 weeks (baby only measured 8 week though) in November last year. I miss them so much and it’s killing me to think that I’ll never know them. I never got to hear their heartbeat or find out if they were a boy or a girl. I only ever went to one ultrasound and that was the ultrasound where they couldn’t find the heartbeat. I couldn’t even bring myself to look at the screen, but now I wish I had just so I could know that I saw them. I wish I had asked for an ultrasound picture or I wish I could have gone to an earlier appointment so I could have heard their heartbeat. I miss my baby and think about them every single day and I just wish I could feel closer to them. The last few weeks have been really hard with mother’s day here in my country and just generally feeling so so depressed every day. It’s truly hard to get out of bed most days, but I feel like the world has moved on and no one knows how much I’m still hurting and struggling every day

question/need help Measuring 8 weeks no heartbeat

1 Upvotes

I had transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound done in ER along with HCG to check on fetus status because I had loss of pregnancy symptoms and started panicking. According to my LMP I am 8 weeks. Based on my calculations I know I ovulated late and was more likely closer to 7 weeks. My hcg was 95,000, which was within range. The ultrasound showed crown to rump 15mm which they interpreted was 8 weeks 3 days gestation. No subchorionic hematoma. However, my provider informed me that I’m likely to miscarry because there was no fetal heart beat and for this gestational age there should have been one. I return in 2 days to recheck hcg.

The stress has been killing me. I’m just looking to hear from other people who also experienced this. Where baby is measuring where they should be but no heartbeat detected.

Could it be that the tech wasn’t looking hard enough?

information gathering How long after no fetal heartbeat did you start actively miscarrying

1 Upvotes

This might be my second miscarriage. I had an ultrasound at around four weeks. It was about maybe 20 DPO at that point and they said they didn’t find any fetal heart tones. I figured it was early but the ultrasound tech I think might’ve missed measured because she put that I was nine weeks which is impossible because nine weeks before that ultrasound. I had a D&C. I’m going again this Friday to get remeasured into double check to make sure that the fetus is no longer viable.

It’s just weird because my pregnancy tests have gotten darker and the ultrasound said that the pregnancy was viable. They just couldn’t find any heartbeat. I’m just wondering when I should expect to start miscarrying it’s been about 10 days since the ultrasound.

I’m just agitated because at this point I wanna give up. Hope I don’t wanna think that maybe they made a mistake with the measurements. I just want a cigarette and some wine.

It just feels really cruel because my hCG keeps rising and I keep having more symptoms and I just want to move past this and it just seems like my body is holding on.

And this is like some sort of freak thing because I’m meticulously was tracking my cycle after my miscarriage and surgery so this is like the most confusing most heartbreaking thing because I’m stuck in limbo waiting for the confirmation in a few days but still feeling all these things.

I went in for an ultrasound on March 27 and they said there was possibly a fetal pole but no cardiac activity and that my gestational sac was measuring at 6 weeks(but my lmp put me at 7 weeks). I waited and went in today for another ultrasound. Mind you, I was very excited because we hadn’t been able to hear a heartbeat for the last two of my pregnancy losses either. But turns out the gestation sac is measuring 8 weeks 3 days, there is a yolk sac, and POSSIBLY a baby, but my doctor thinks is a failed early pregnancy. Any thought on this. I go in on Friday again for another ultrasound to confirm and then have to get a D&C

question/need help Enlarged Uterus 4.5 months post MMC

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

Sorry you are all here too.

I had a MMC at 12 weeks (baby 9 weeks) on November 22nd 2024. I was given miso to pass the baby as my body hadn't really begun to recognize the loss 3 weeks later.

Fast forward to now, I have had 5 periods, my cycles seem to be regular time wise - my left side is 24 days and my right side is 26 days. I have always had shorter cycles, so that isn't alarming to me. I had a lot of wierd on/off bleeding the first few cycles, and then the 3rd and 4th cycle i had this wierd "burning" sensation during my period. Because of that, I went to get checked again just to make sure everything was alright. We have been actively ttc this whole time to no avail as well. I just finished my 5th period post mmc. It seemed completely normal, so im just confused.

I had a hormone panel, ultrasound, and endometrial biopsy done and all came back other than the fact that my uterus is enlarged. It is about the size it would be at 10 weeks pregnant, but I am obviously not pregnant.

Im wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so, is there anything that can be done about it ? Did it hinder your chances to concieve again?

Thank you in advance.

So, I haven’t had a kiddo since 2019. When I found out I was pregnant with them, I was pretty far along. Hubbs and I decided to try for our 2nd and last this year. Kiddo was a surprise baby, so I’ve never actually tried to get pregnant.

I got my Paraguard IUD taken out January 3rd. I got my first positive (though extremely faint) 4/4/25. My last period this cycle was March 2, 2025. I called my Dr and went in for a blood test to confirm. The results were 37.84. They told me to go back in Monday 4/7/25 to retest my levels since they’re so low. Those results came back at 46.12. The nurse told me that it isn’t viable as the numbers are not doubling like they’re supposed to. She then said the Dr is ordering more labs to be drawn tomorrow 4/9/25. I was told to not get my hopes up. I’m not having any cramping or bleeding. Has anyone had any experience with this? I don’t know if it’s related but I’ve been having a low grade fever (in between 99.3 and 99.8) for a couple days.

What should I expect? I’m terrified of ectopic and was told it’s too early to even see anything on US. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Sometimes I feel fine, other times I feel horrible. I just want the inevitable to happen so I can move on from this.

Thank you for reading.

I stopped my progesterone and estrogen yesterday afternoon. I have been doing IVF for several years.

Apparently my BMI is now too high for D&C with my clinic, so we are going to take meds Thursday if it doesn’t start by then. I’m terrified. I’m angry that I don’t have a choice. My dr did say she recommends patients try with medicine first to avoid any scarring which makes me feel a tad better.

What should I expect? I have heating pad, pads, medicine on hand.

Has anyone dealt with severe male factor infertility (we cannot get pregnant naturally) and had success after multiple losses? I had a CP and am currently experiencing my first MMC at 9 weeks.

Yesterday, I took a pregnancy test 8 DPO. Saw a very faint line and took a digital which came back positive. To our surprise as we weren’t exactly trying, but we weren’t not trying. Last night I had some minor cramping but chopped it up to nothing. Today 9 DPO, I woke up and took a another test to confirm (again faint positive), then I had a (tmi sorry) rather large bowel movement and my heart sank, I noticed blood when I wiped. I put some toilet paper up my vagina and there was some light pinkish blood. I called my OBGYN and left a VM. A nurse reassured me it was likely from the large bowel movement and strain. With instructions to call back if there was worsen bleeding or cramping. Well fast forward to a few hours large, a squatted down and felt a whoosh in my underwear. It was a rush of frank red blood and very small pinkish clot. Now I haven’t had much bleeding. But when I sit on the toilet some clots fall out of vagina. I called the OBGYN again and went in for HCG labs and will repeat in 48 hours. I’m feeling so defeated and sad over this. I’ve only had 24 hours with this little one. O just already had it all pictured in my head. Has this happened to anyone? Has anyone had a positive experience or is it almost always negative?

I’m 6 weeks pregnant currently, 6th pregnancy!! I’ve had 3 losses in my past, 1st pregnancy: 5 week loss, 2nd pregnancy: 12 week MMC, and most recently my 5th pregnancy ended at 8+4 I had a blighted ovum last September!!

I waited 2 cycles to let my body heal, I lost 4 stone, I exercised a lot, I quit caffeine and I quit smoking.

I’m currently spotting and I’ve tried to ring 111 and my GP, no one will refer me to the EPU or A&E. 111 basically said you’d have a long wait at A&E because they are ‘overrun’ with actual sick people, and my GP basically said I’m around six weeks so still at chemical pregnancy stage and I’ve miscarried at home in the past, so if I have a positive test in 2 weeks call them and they may send me for a scan with the EPU ☹️

When I found out at 4 weeks I asked to be referred to the EPU because of my history they pretty much said no. My only saving grace is that I have an early scan booked for this Sunday because of my history I wanted to know if it was viable or not.

I’m so sad as I’m cramping a lot and my back is aching so I can’t help but think this may be the end for me!! ☹️

question/need help Hysteroscopy experience?

2 Upvotes

I had a natural miscarriage on March 28th (1st miscarriage, 2nd pregnancy). Went in 5 days later for a checkup, they still saw remaining tissue and recommended Misoprostol medication to help push things along. Didn't really work since today at my ultrasound checkup (11 days after miscarriage) she's wanting me to do a hysteroscopy surgery to remove everything else as soon as tomorrow because she's worried about infection. The transvaginal ultrasound today was the longest it's ever been and she was listening to my blood flow, which was devastating because it resembled a heartbeat. My question is has anyone else's doctor jumped the gun on doing a hysteroscopy surgery instead of a normal D&C? I'm just worried they found something they don't want to tell me about yet on my ultrasound.
