I have suffered two miscarriages in within this year. We have a gorgeous 6 year old boy and had a plain sailing preg with him. We decided that we would love a bro or sis for him and so I came off the combined pill. I immediately got preg and we were delighted. I was 10 weeks gone when I went for my first routine ultrasound and was feeling fine with the exception of feeling very tired. It was then that the sonographer told me that my baby was 8 weeks in size but there was no heartbeat - I was crushed. I had a D&C and tried to look to the future.......
I got my AF 6 weeks later and two months later we found that I was preg again. We decided we wouldn't tell yet. This time I tried not to let myself get excited, I had no bleeding but felt minor cramping sensations which my midwife said was perfectly normal and was just my uterus stretching. I had an earlier scan this time at 71/2 weeks and this time the sonographer said that she could only see a sac but that probably my dates were wrong and for me to return in a week for a re-scan. I knew that no way my dates could be that wrong. This time it was different it was like I had expected it to happen and so just felt numb. At the re-scan a week later it was confirmed that I had a B.O and this time I opted for the medical instead of D&C. I had to take a tablet and then return to hosp 2 days later to be admitted. I had a pessary which dilates the cervix and empties the womb. Due to my bleeding heavily I had to stay the night which I hated. It is now one week later and I am feeling pretty low but still feel desperate for a baby. I know I am very lucky to have my DH and my DS but will pray that I may one day be able to have another baby. Sorry to go on but as I havn't told any of my friends and family this time I just needed to speak to other people who have had similar experiences.
