Please be kind, I’m having a terribly rough time rn

[x-post from /miscarriage but can’t figure out how to x post properly sorry]

I’ve just had my second MMC. For my first one (April 2026) I took Misoprostol and passed everything at around 8 weeks.

Here I am again, roughly the same scenario, 8 weeks again but sac measuring 6+some days and nonviable. I live in Texas and have been prescribed only misoprostol but denied mifepristone because of state laws.

All I’ve been reading about suggests that mife+miso is the best route for meditation management. I have some out of state travel coming up to a sane state in a week and a half and have been told it’s medically safe to wait, but not medically necessary. Should I wait until I can try to get Mifepristone? Is it worth it? I really don’t want to go through a D&C. I’ve just turned 35, I feel like I’m running out of time. I’m so distraught. What would you do?

LMP was 6/18

Ovulation confirmed via ovulation test strip was 7/4

Last time we had sex was 7/5 (hubby was away for two weeks following 7/5, and then I started to have symptoms and haven’t been in the mood)

Tested positive on 7/15

Was supposed to be 7w+3d (by ovulation tests, 7w+5d by LMP) on 8/11 when I had my ultrasound, both abdominal and transvaginal. At ultrasound I was measuring 6w+0d with the comment “too early for heartbeat”. Note that ultrasound was through my primary not my OB and I didn’t get the results until the evening of 8/13.

I faxed the results to my OB this morning, 8/14, and she called back and said that I wasn’t having a (necessarily) miscarriage and that she will recheck me on Tuesday 8/18. I have a follow up booked with planned parenthood this afternoon (because I want to start the pills right away) but the OB recommended not going because it would increase my anxiety. But like come on. This is definitely a loss, right? Don’t sugar coat it.

I need an easy dropoff, preferably near downtown, that will take donations of clothing, shoes, accessories, toys, other household items. I need a thrift store that takes donations, as well as just like a charity that takes things that may not be sold at thrift but could potentially have use for a shelter (I will pre-sort items for what goes where).

I also have some nicer items I am planning to sell. Can anyone recommend a good clothing/accessory sale place?

I am looking for suggestions of where to shop for a men’s wedding ring. I’m not familiar with the typical brands for men’s jewelry and I’m just not quite sure where to start. I need a ring within a three weeks, and will likely have to order it for his size, so someplace able to accommodate a quick turnaround is important!

If it matters, my fiancé likes a pretty masculine style, and is wanting a wider band, gunmetal color white metal color, since everyone only wants to comment on this part apparently…, brushed, possibly with a beveled edge.

Thanks for the recommendations :)
