POAS help needed right NOW!

omg I'm so sorry..I agree with the rest that you should see your GYN. This happened to my cousin..she miscarried but when into the Dr and they told her..something still felt swollen..turns out she was carrying twins (went on to have the surviving twin). I'd just go in and have them check things out.
 
definitely see a dr. take baggy with you.

MoZo

ps so sorry for the emotional roller coaster you've been on. i hope it gets better.
 
Thank you for your kind words.

We're debating what needs done as far as BC now. On one hand, I'm not 100% sure I want to be done having kids. On the other hand I'm 100% sure I can't handle another miscarriage. I think it may be better for DH to get fixed so we never have to go through this again.

I'm trying to not let this affect our Christmas celebrations so I'm kind of distancing myself from it. Otherwise I'm afraid I'd curl up in a ball and ignore the world. It's a much different set of feelings this time.
 
I'm so sorry SS. You still need to mourn, or feel sad or whatever you need to feel about the miscarriage. Maybe you can just
postpone it a week or two to get through the holidays.

I have had several miscarriages. The first one was devastating but it seems like each one after that was easier to
get through. Hugs.
 
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear.
 
SS, I'm so sorry. It's tough to have to put on a brave face during the holidays when you just want to hide under teh covers for a while.

Maybe get an IUD while you consider permanent options? I've had the Mirena one for 5 yrs and it was a godsend- pills were just hell on my body. The IUD was a pain to get- literally!- but has been awesome and no trouble at all.

Just a suggestion. Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon.
 
Thank you all for posting,

Everything looks and feels fine. Everything came out so that's good. My back still hurts but I think it's from how tensed up I got during everything.
 
OMG...ss..i am so sorry. I have never experinced a Miscarriage, but a close cousin of mine has....ever single one of hers, has ended up with a mescarriage at home, and she has gone through 5, and most of hers get to at least 20 weeks. I am so sorry, there are no words, but to hang on, and make no rush decisions yet. Get through the holiday and than make a decision, and make sure you are okay.
 
SS: I am so sorry for your loss. My heart really goes out to you.
 
I'm traumatized just hearing your story :(sad I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*

This. I love my Mirena...it's 99.7% effective (it's the 2nd most effective form of birth control available behind Implanon, which has more side effects), and nothing that changes that unless it falls out, which is very rare and very hard to miss. Doesn't matter what other medicines you're on, doesn't depend on your remembering to do something every day/week/month...you just get it (which is painful, I won't lie) and you're good for up to 5 years. It's completely reversible - they just take it out as soon as you want to start TTC. Your periods go away completely or are reduced to a light spotting. It's safe for people with blood clotting issues (no estrogen, only progesterone). And the hormone mostly stays in your reproductive tract instead of being absorbed throughout your body, so there's less risk of weight gain and all those crazy hormonal side effects.

Anyway, it sounds like you're feeling a bit better. I would still take the remains to your GYN, because they may want to do pathology studies and could also estimate how far along you were.
 
I'm leaning towards the Mirena. It looks like it might decrease the endometrial and cystic growths too. Doctor wants me off of everything and only use condoms for the next couple months so I have time to figure it out I guess.
 
I am so sorry SS. I've had two losses as well and they are devastating. I hope that you feel better physically as soon as possible so that you can begin to heal emotionally.

I'd definitely check out the Mirena. I've had it for 4 years now and other than some spotting now and then, I have no side effects. It wasn't fun having it put in, but well worth it to be confident in your birth control. And, if you decide you want more kids, it's not a big deal to remove (so I've been told).

Hugs sweetie.
 
If you do get the Mirena inserted, take a zillion ibuprofen first (or, like, three- whatever). That helped the crampy pain immensely. I found it really painful- like turn ghost white painful- but only for a tiny bit of time, like maybe 15 seconds. Then it was all better instantly. Which was kind of weird, but totally worth it for five years of hassle free BC. I haven't had a period at all except for the last 6 months or so I've gotten a tiny bit of spotting as the hormones wind down in it- it's due to be replaced pretty much yesterday, oops.

I had exactly the same experience. Intense pain for a few seconds, then back to normal (and I also had 3 ibuprofen on board). Some people say sounding the uterus (inserting a device that measures the size of the inside of your uterus so they know how far in to put the IUD) is the worst part, but the insertion that came next was worse than the sounding. But after that, it was smooth sailing...totally worth it. I had mild cramping (like a regular period) and light spotting for about a week, then for about 2 years I had spotting for a day a month, and now nothing at all. No cramping after that initial week too.

There's also a copper IUD, which is hormone-free and lasts up to 10 years, but I prefer the Mirena because the copper one can actually cause heavier periods and more cramping.
