First pregnancy, first miscarriage. Feeling broken.
Yesterday I found out I had a missed/silent miscarriage with my first pregnancy. I’m 30 years old and was supposed to be around 10 weeks, although I believe my ovulation/conception may have happened later than expected.
What’s making this harder is not knowing when the heartbeat stopped. I had been going to appointments every 2 weeks and looking back now, I feel like maybe I should’ve realized something was wrong because they kept wanting to monitor me closely.
I’m scheduled for a D&C next week. My doctor also mentioned I may have a uterine septum, but they can’t properly evaluate the anatomy of my uterus until about 6 weeks after the D&C when I go back for another scan.
I’m honestly devastated. I’m hurting so badly, and my husband is too. He’s trying so hard to stay strong for me, but I catch him crying alone when he thinks I don’t notice. Seeing him hurt too is breaking my heart even more.
I’m also really scared for the D&C because I’ve never been through anything like this before. How did the procedure make you feel physically and emotionally afterward? What was recovery time like for you?
Has anyone else gone through something similar? Especially with a missed miscarriage, possible septum, or delayed ovulation dating?
Looking for some hope right now.
