We've been through 2 1/2 weeks in limbo and it finally all ended yesterday with a D and C.
I had some bright red spotting at 6 weeks and went to see the doc and they sent me for an ultrasound. The US found thickened endometrial lining but no evidence of a pregnancy. I had 3 subsequent US over the next 2 1/2 weeks with growth of a gestational sac, which turned into 2 gestational sacs, but no embryo development in either. It was obvious the pregnancy wasn't viable with no embryos at 8w4d so we decided to move forward with the D and C.
Although we are quite sad, we are also able to understand that if this wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be. I don't know if it made it easier that it was (two) blighted ovum over any other kind of miscarriage, but I'm trying to run with that. We actually would have been excited for twins so that makes it a little more challenging. We are healing from this and we hope to be ready to try again soon.
I have been pretty absent from here during this time because I didn't want to get too attached to this pregnancy and this group. I don't know if that was the right way to cope, but that's what I chose. I've still been love titting and cheering for all the positive news. Good luck to all you ladies and your little ones, I'm wishing for you all to have uneventful remaining pregnancies!
I'm so sorry for the loss of your twins. My miscarriage was a blighted ovum and there was some small comfort in that, but that doesn't mean it isn't a painful and sad experience. When you are ready, the pregnancy loss and conceiving after a loss boards were a great resource for me. The women there are very supportive and knowledgable. Take care of yourself.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am sending all the hugs and peaceful thoughts to you and your husband. There is no right way to cope with this, so I'm glad you did what what right for you. I also took a break from the boards after my loss, I think to protect myself. Do whatever you need to do to get through this, even if it's just binging shows on Netflix. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Like others have said, there is no right or wrong way to cope. Let yourself feel what you need to feel and do what you need to do. You'll be in my thoughts.
