Hi everyone I am new to the board. I just found last Thursday that I am carrying a baby that has been gone for 4 weeks. I knew something was wrong, I was not feeling very well last week and I some spotting for the last 3 weeks. I called my doctor and he got me in right away. He did a vaginal ultra sound, since this would have been my second baby I knew right away something was wrong, I saw the fetus but not a heartbeat. I was stunned and could not ask many questions, I nodded my head a lot.
Now that I have had some time to absorb, I can't keep the lump out of my throat. I am hoping these posting may help me to know others have gone through the same. I am having light bleeding right now, and I hoping it will pass naturally, but knowing it is still in me is killing me. I don't want to have a D&C right away. Could you tell me..is it painful when it passes? Or is it like a very heavy period with cramping. I have heard people being unable to move and sitting on the bathroom floor, I am scared of the unknown.
Does anyone know when I could start trying again? Do I have to wait until I have a normal period again or can I start once I am done bleeding?
Thank you in advance for your opinions and helpful words during this trying time.
