Hi Ladies,
I'm new to the boards, and I'm hoping that joining with help ease the pain of our most recent loss. I have lost my mother, grandmother, and now 2 rainbow babies in 7 months, so I'm feeling a bit jaded to say the least and really don't have anyone to talk to anymore that knows what I am going through although DH is trying his best to be supportive and positive. I thought I knew what to expect, but this current miscarriage is throwing me for a loop, because it is unlike any of the ones I have experienced in the past (there have been 4 total). Here is a little back story;
I normally have about 30 day cycles, and this time around the pregnancy symptoms hit me hard about a week before AF was due;. I tested and bam, BFP. It was faint, but there and continued to pop up for the next 3 days. Then, 4 days before AF normally shows herself I started spotting bright red. It eventually grew a little heavier, enough to use a pad and I called my doctor who had me come in for a stat HCG draw this past Thursday. The bleeding stayed heavy for a day but never got heavy or with clots, but I just knew in my heart I had lost it, and my doctor confirmed Friday that my levels were below 5 and I was miscarrying. I prepared myself for the worst, even had a prescription on standby for the pain that never came, but much to my surprise the bleeding stayed light and has completely disappeared as of today. During my other miscarriages I remember being in horrible pain and bleeding horribly for days, and that my symptoms vanished as soon as I started to bleed. I have tested everyday since I started bleeding as per my Dr's request (thank god for Wondfos) and there is no 2nd line to be seen anymore, so I know I'm not still pregnant. But, here is the odd thing (besides the painless and almost bloodless MC of course), my symptoms are still sticking around full force. My breasts still ache and haven't gone back down in size, and the fatigue, nausea, and dizziness are still fierce.
My question to you all is this; has anyone experienced this? And how long until your symptoms faded away. Every twinge reminds me of what I've lost, and as you can imagine I would like very much to move past this so that I can prepare myself for another attempt at TTC. Any advice would be appreciated, and I apologize for the long read.
