Hi ladies, I had my 1st MC in July. it all happen so quickly. March I went to consult TCM to adjust and improve my womb and eggs condition. May 2015 we TTC then June tested positive using home-test-kit, then July I started spotting then heavy bleeding, my gynae gave me a booster jab and put me in hospital for 3d2n for further observation. After I got discharge about a week plus, and 2days before my gynae appt, the sac came out naturally by itself. I cried badly and thankfully my hubby was there for me and with his constant comforting and support, I managed to get over it quickly.
My gynae did not tell me what exactly happen but when I was supposed to b 8weeks and went for my 1st gynae visit, gynae scanned and told me that the size of the sac is at 4weeks. I was puzzled and my gynae gave me some medicine and ask to return after a week to see if the baby is actually growing.
After the spotting and heavy bleeding, I had a booster jab, did blood test and my HMG level is low but gynae say is normal coz the level is equivalent to a 4week sac. I also did virginal scan. The scan results show that no fetal pole is detected. At that point of time I wonder why, and now I came to realise that it was what they claimed as Chemical Pregnancy.
That fatal night, we were asleep and I got up to the bathroom, after I got back to bed, I felt a sharp pain on my right side, lower abdominal. After which I felt something came out from below, like how heavy menses felt but slightly heavier. I thought I was bleeding a lot but when I check, the sac was expel from my body naturally. I couldn't believe what I saw and refused to believe that my baby was gone. I went ahead with my gynae appointment with a heavy heart but expected to see an empty womb. Gynae gave me med to help me clear my womb and also to stop the bleeding. True enough, the bleeding stop at Day6 and quite abit of the remains were all passed out.
I did not want to go for D&C because there were some risks involved. So luckily it happened all naturally. I did a mini confinement for 2weeks. I was hoping to TTC again after the next cycle but sadly I fell sick. Because earlier timing, I went to TCM for medicine to safe-guard my baby, after I lost my baby, I went back to the TCM and he gave me stronger medicine for my womb and eggs. But my body got too heaty and thus I fell sick. No choice I can only TTC after next mth's cycle.
I did not tell any of my friends abt my pregnancy and MC, other than my bestie and my parents. I have friends who are also TTC and during a chat they would often exchange their TTC stories, when they asked about me, I couldn't bring myself to tell them about my MC because I feel no point to say it out and let them feel the sadness or negative aura. I have truly gotten over it and thus I don't want to say it out to make the situation awkward. My friends were also concerned about me TTC but words came to my mouth and I couldn't say it out. I just respond that we are still in the midist of trying and hoping to be pregnant before our BTO house is completed.
Sorry for this lengthy post. This is the first time I posted about my MC other than in the Feb 2016 Mummy FB group that I had to reluctantly leave.
