I am 8w2d today. Last week, my embryo was measuring a week behind. Today, on my repeat ultrasound, we found out I had a MMC and the embryo stopped growing at 6w2d.

1. How do you cope with going forward from this? I have a D&C scheduled for Thursday. I’m so worried about getting my period back and starting a new cycle. How many days did it take you to get your period back after a D&C?

2. Our embryos aren’t tested. We don’t want to re-thaw them and test them as it is very expensive to do so. I am genuinely terrified to do another FET with an untested embryo. Our doc doesn’t think testing is necessary as my partner and I are young (we are doing reciprocal IVF) and healthy. Has anyone had a successful FET post miscarriage with untested embryos?

Any advice/stories are appreciated 🩷

My partner and I are doing reciprocal IVF, I am carrying her embryo for this pregnancy. I had my transfer on April 11th. My beta was 243, 11 days post. Everything seemed fine, but now I’m kicking myself for being so naive. I had my first ultrasound yesterday. I was 7w1d but the baby was measuring a full week behind (6w1d). There was a heartbeat and a fetal pole. My doctor wants me to continue progesterone and come back in a week to re-assess. He said there’s about a 60% chance of this pregnancy working out in my favour. I’ve been a mess today. I called off from work and I can barely get out of bed. I know I should be hopeful but part of me wants to just stop my progesterone in hopes that I just miscarry naturally. Ugh. How do I get through this next week? Has anyone else been through this?
