I knew that I would be given long MC after that appointment. Should the sac not out before the appointment, D&C would be performed. I managed to pass over work and passed up the reports before the weekend so that I could have the MC with peace of mind.
My PV bleed was getting more and I also felt that muscle pulling, but no cramp. On 5th Feb, after having dinner, we went to Tesco to get some staff to prepare for confinement later. Suddenly I felt that my pant was wet. I knew the bleed was getting alot more. Quickly I rushed my husband to pay up and rushed back home. Lots of bleeding indeed plus big clots.
After changing pad and pants. I planned to observe if the pad was soaked for another hour which was the sign to go to hospital. I still didn't have any painful contraction as described by my colleague who had similar experience. I just had one sudden brief pain and then all discomfort relieve. As I stood up and walked, I could feel something , as I checked, a whitish tissue was passed out. Quickly I put it into a container and went to hospital.
After scan was done, doctor said the miscarriage was complete and no need D&C required. Then an injection was given in order to stop bleeding. I was supposed to be able to go home immediately, however, suddenly I sensed tightness at my both ears and kept coughing. I was so concerned that I would experience severe allergic reaction. Thank God that it was just temporary.
By the time I got to home, it was already 1 am. I was very tired and lethargic and I could feel contraction at my tummy (uterus). But I couldn't sleep till much later.
As much as I wished for the pregnancy to be able to sustained instead, I felt relieved now as the past one month was quite torturing to my mind and body. In a way, it was easy for me to cope with the loss, as I already got the news of possible miscarriage on the same day I found myself pregnant. Then there was one month time for me to settle my emotion. In addition, all the while the sac was empty and never we saw the presence of fetus.
Now it was considered as over and I could move on with life.

Another 2 weeks had past. My emotion roller coaster had gone from worrying, uncertain to calm. My nausea, bloatness and fluctuating appetite was gone too. Another appointment. Again, empty irregular shape sac. When I saw the measurement of the sac has the diameter of 22mm, I already knew what would be doctor's comment. Still no fetus, still no heart beat. One week ago, I seek a specialist opinion, and taken Proluton jab, also had beta Hcg taken. Apart from that I didn't know what else could I do to 'keep' the baby. However, when I saw that the Hcg level only increased by 3 times compared to the level 3 weeks ago, I was almost certain what would be coming.
However, no matter how prepared I was, when the technician announced blighted ovum and when doctor advice me of D&C, I couldn't help but cry. I just couldn't agree to doctor suggestion of getting D&C on the same day. I asked for more time to think about it. Hence another appointment was scheddules one week later. Then I just hope for it to happen naturally and completely without the need of surgical intervention

#3rd pregnancy but miscarriage
Eversince the dianosis of threatened miscarriage, the next 2 weeks were like forever to me. I did feel my tummy is 'empty', only the symptoms of hungry and stomach bloatness that was convincing me that I was still pregnant.
Finally the day of appointment came. Went for scan. As much I was hopefully to hear baby heartbeat, what was found on the screen was the same as 2 weeks ago, empty with yolk sac only. In addition, the shape of the sac was irregular. Although I don't have any PV bleed anymore, according to the tone and way of speech of the the doctor, she seemed to imply that my pregnancy likely wont be successful.
The next day, we flied to hometown for chinese new year. However, it was not an happy celebration anymore. There was always something holding my smile. To make thing worse, my parents in law knew that I was pregnant already and my brother in law's wife also already 4 months pregnant. I was kept asked the due date, the only answer I could give was 'don't know, need to check somemore to confirm'. In the mean time, I was also in worrying state that any emergency event was up during this period of time as My PV bleed was back. I could only pray that it won't happen till I was back from hometown

#3rd pregnancy but miscarriage 1
I always thought I want to blog only about happy moments. However, since last year I was striked but unhappy or challenging events almost every month.
Right stepping into year 2012, on 2nd Jan, I got a real bad allergic reaction, with rash all over body. Despite antihistamines, the flare kept coming back and worsen. I needed to be admitted to emergency observation ward when I had hoarse voice ( which was a sign of angiooedema and life threatening allergic reaction). On the same day, I found myself pregnant. However, within 24hours, also I experienced bad cramp and vaginal bleed and got the diagnosis of threatened miscarriage.
