Prometrium *loss mentioned*

[luvmyscrabbledeggs]

I found out yesterday that my betas dropped drastically, and to expect to start miscarrying. I was asked to stop the prometrium suppositories, which I did. I've had zero bleeding even now, does anyone know when I can expect the bleeding to start? 

Its a horrible feeling, I know the inevitable is going top happen, but with waiting for the bleeding to start it feels like torture.

I am sorry you found yourself here... hugs

I took me 5 days after stopping progesterone to see any kind of blood... on day 6 I miscarried completely.
Did your doctor give you the option of D&C?
The waiting is torture like u said that's one of the reasons why many women opt for the D&C.

Hugs

thank you *hugs*

no option for a d&c. I asked when I can expect bleeding my nurse said it could take as long as 1-2 weeks...I just feel like it will be really living the blow of knowing I lost the baby all over again once I start bleeding. My heart hurts so much.

I am so sorry for your loss and now for the pain being drawn out by having to wait for the process to begin. I have no advice in regards to the prometrium - just make sure you take care of yourself and your needs during this time and know you are not alone.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

The amount of time it can take can really vary. Do you know what your progesterone level was? With my chemical pregnancy, I wasn't on suppositories, but my period didn't start until the day after my progesterone was at 1.

During non-bfp cycles when I've stopped progesterone (endometrin), my period showed up within two days.

I have no advice since I have only had D&Cs, but I wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. So many hugs. I can only imagine how knowing and waiting for the physical part to be over is torture. I hope it will start quickly for you!

No advice on the meds but I too wanted to say I'm so so sorry for your loss. (hugs)
It's really hard knowing what's to come but not when.. When we found out about the MMC we were told it could take weeks for the bleeding to start, which is why I opted for a medically-assisted MC with cytotec/mistoprostol as emotionally I just couldn't do the waiting game. Has your doctor given you any information on possible options in case you don't do well handling the unknown? Perhaps you could ask for some more information, it may give you some peace of mind? ((hugs)) Take care and be gentle to yourself.

Did they prescribed u any kind of pain medicine?

Big hugs. I'm so sorry you find yourself here. I MC at 9 weeks, I was on suppositories, my last ultrasound showed me as 6 wks, I stopped progesterone and started bleeding within a week.
Be gentle with yourself and welcome. This is a great group of women.
