Hello everyone.
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is dawn and my most recent loss was last week. This was my third loss this year. In May I had a cp. In September I went in for my NT scan at 12 weeks and I had a mmc. I had a d&e the very same day. Two weeks ago (2/5/15) I went in for a scan and saw the baby's heartbeat at 6w6d and the next day I started to spot. The drs. weren't concerned since I had an internal scan the day before. My spotting continued all weekend and the Monday I called my dr. and explaining how the spotting was continuing and that I was Rh- so I might need to get the shot. They had me come in, the dr. check me and said i was ok, but ordered follow up blood work. My numbers did not look good and they had me come in for a scan on 2/12/15. There they did not see a heartbeat and I was diagnosed with an incomplete miscarriage. They gave m the option of passing on my own or having a d&c. I wanted testing done since this in my 3rd loss this year so I elected the d&e. I was awake during the procedure with only my cervix being numb. It was a very traumatizing experience, one I will write about later in the experience post. I am almost a week out and the bleeding has stopped and I am trying to process everything I have been through. I am hoping to hang around here with you ladies and learn from you and support you also.
