My nightmare is not ending
3rd pregnancy, which I had high hopes for, ended in a loss 4 weeks ago.
It was a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks and apparently my body absorbed the embryo at 8 weeks. After spending 2 days in denial, I opted for medical management.
The horrible experience of heavy bleeding and cramps have now given me PTSD😭.
The bleeding finally stopped 3 days ago and now, I have got the bad news that my body is still holding on to 17 mm of tissue!!
The two options given to me were
- Repeat the same dose of misoprostol
- Wait and watch till next periods , which could be 6 weeks away.
The trauma from the medicines made me immediately choose the second option.
However, my overthinking mind is now worrying about infection - endometritis or PID!
Im worried inducing pain and bleeding will set back my mental health again and make me severely anaemic. But I also dont want an infection , bcos I want to keep trying for a baby ASAP again.
Looking for advice on this. Anyone here who had similar minimal tissue and came out fine with the ‘Wait &watch’ method?
For context : Im under the NHS in UK
