I guess I'll post here?
Still waiting. Nothing has happened. Gross TMI - no blood, but a ton of CM lately. And some random cramping. I go back tomorrow for an u/s, and I assume they'll schedule a D&C for me.

LMC , I hope something happens soon so that you can heal. Have y'all started talking about what the plan from here is? So many *hugs* lady. I was in a total fog when we discussed it with the RE the first time, but it's my understanding that once I finally miscarry (or have the D&C), then they track my beta levels back down under 5. Then we can start again. I don't think I understand if I have to get my period or not first to start a new cycle. I originally wasn't sure if I was ready to start all over again right away, but I read an article that came out recently that people who try again right after a m/c are more likely to get pregnant again than those that wait. I know our situation is different than people who are getting pregnant naturally, but I'm hoping it'll be true for us, too. I want to make sure to meet with my RE to see how he's going to adjust my numbers - it seemed like my dosages were too high last time (not anyone's fault - they can't tell how my body will respond before I do it for the first time), so I'm hoping if we adjust we can get more mature eggs this time, and hopefully have some left over to freeze after a transfer.

I'm so sorry LMC <3 My cycle is being weird and I'm thinking it's because of the stress. My temp was normal, then really low, then back to normal, but no real rise like my other cycles. Weird.

<3 LMCI had to wait until I got my period before trying again after my m/c. My doctor said it's because the DNC thins the uterine lining to the point that it usually takes that cycle to thicken up enough to support a pregnancy. She said that chemical pregnancies are really common if you don't wait a cycle. Your situation might be different though. I hope you and J are doing ok. Think about you a lot.

Just got back. I feel stupid for that little part of me that went in there wishing so hard that maybe they'd tell me they were wrong. They weren't. There was an insignificant amount of growth and now no sign of heartbeat at all. But nothing is breaking down. They want me to wait a few more days and potentially do cytotec over the weekend. If that doesn't work, we'll schedule the D&C.
The nurse said it could take MONTHS for us to be able to try again. It was awful.

I'm so sorry LMC . Please tell me that they're going to do the cytotec as an inpatient procedure. If not, make sure they prescribe some very strong painkillers. No, but she mentioned getting me started on painkillers before I started taking it. I'll have to ask when she calls Friday.

So many *hugs* LMC . If there's anything I can do to help you understand the doctor talk, I'm always here. Especially if you end up needing surgery (which hopefully you don't). Thank you. I really appreciate it. Based on the fact that NOTHING is happening (and I don't know why they expected it would since my ultrasound showed no progress toward miscarrying at all), it looks like I'll be taking cytotec tomorrow. I'm really terrified and hope it doesn't make me feel like I want to die.. but mostly I hope that it works so I don't have to go forward with the D&C.

I'll be thinking of you over the next few days LMC, praying you can get through this as quickly and painlessly as possible. @rajahbmfd fingers crossed for you!

Thank you @jennylee. I'm really terrified of how badly this is going to hurt. And how it's going to affect me emotionally.
On that note, I've started keeping a blog. Mostly to keep thoughts on paper. I have plans to share it later down the road on my facebook or something. It's hard to go through, especially without getting all of that written down, and it's my hope that maybe it will eventually help someone that feels alone.

I hope you don't feel alone, LMC No, I have all of you <3
But I have found it to be a very isolating experience from my IRL friends, family, etc.

Ditto everything @jennylee and @sarahufl stated. I know my experience is different compared to yours LMC and engr0308 with my miscarriage, but you need to handle yours the best way as possible for you and YH.
