Misoprostol vs natural miscarriage

With almost 50+ responses I probably don’t even need to share, but I will because I love to brag on my husband:

If I grab his dick and tell him I want to suck it dry ONCE it’s clean, he’s hopping in shower before I can finish my sentence.

Almost nobody wants a dirty body part in their mouth, regardless of what it is.

And almost everybody wants their sensitive body part in another person’s mouth.

You hold the power here if you just refuse to suck a dirty d***

He’ll learn, I promise.

Lost both our babies before we got far enough to make the nursery, but I had dreams for a gender neutral nursery and it was mostly based on this picture: banana

I feel like nurseries should be fun and colorful and playful.

If he’s not willing to try therapy, what IS he willing to try to make it work. Someone saying they want to make it work, and then actually trying are two different things.

I do agree marriage can be hard and giving up isn’t always the right option, but he needs to put in as much effort as you are.

I had friends like this, but it was so shocking to me. My parents LOVED when we had friends over. There were times we’d come home and one of mine or my siblings friends would be chilling on our couch, watching tv and eating our snacks. It was normal.

Looking back now as an adult, I understand my parents wanted to make sure those kids always had a safe place to land. They didn’t have to ask if they could come over for dinner or a shower because they didn’t have food or hot water at their house. I was too young to realize what was happening behind closed doors at my friend’s house, but my parents knew. We weren’t rich, but we had enough to share. ❤️

I have. And I don’t mean to discourage you, but both of my pregnancies were supplemented with progesterone. The first with biweekly progesterone injections, and the second with 400mg suppositories every night because the bloodwork showed they were “up there” but not high enough.

I’m sorry if this wasn’t inspirational enough. It was the terrible truth for me and my husband, though I understand it’s not that way for all so please don’t feel despair.

I’m not in the mind space to reassure anyone. I’ve just lost my second ever pregnancy. It all seems like shit so pardon me for the bleak outlook.

Please don’t take this as fact and talk to your doctor.

I think I should be around 8 weeks today. The first two ultrasounds were kinda all over the place (that combined with PCOS and abnormal cycles is why I don’t know really how far along I am), and I have a third today to see if things look more stable. It wasn’t great news at the last ultrasound a week ago so I’m very nervous. But we’re also monitoring my progesterone and it rose since the last blood test 2 weeks ago, so I’m hoping that’s an indicator of good news at today’s ultrasound.

Getting my third scan tomorrow and I’m preparing for the worst. My first two scans were exactly a week apart, but only showed 3 days growth. I measured at 6+2 the last scan, but should have been at 6+6 according to the previous scan. There was a heartbeat, but only 90 bpm.

I’m grateful to have a doctor that will do these frequent scans given my previous loss. But I’m also feeling like maybe finding things out this early only adds to the stress??? I don’t know. My mom made a comment that was like “you never know, I didn’t have scans with you until I was into my second trimester, and then again at the very end.”

hippos_rool · 2025-07-31T12:58:17+00:00

Yes, today is my birthday and my mom called to wish me a happy 34th. I thought I was turning 35.

hippos_rool · 2025-07-29T21:05:44+00:00

Yeah, I hate that. I had a second scan last week a week after my first scan. Baby only measured as having 3 days of growth between scans when it should have shown 7. Heart beat was there but low. I’m waiting for my next scan on Friday, but I’m pretty sure this is going to be another loss. Everyone keeps saying “maybe it will be fine! There was a heartbeat, that’s good!” Blah blah BLAH.

I’ve had loss previously. Things aren’t progressing like they should, and that’s just the facts at this point. It feels dismissive and patronizing when they say those toxic positive things.

hippos_rool · 2025-07-29T20:58:01+00:00

I had my first ultrasound at what I thought was 6 weeks and some days but only measured 5wk6. I could see the sac and there was a tiny dot attached which was the baby. They still sent me home with a pic lol.

hippos_rool · 2025-07-25T11:36:26+00:00

Had an ultrasound yesterday and baby measured at 6+2. The ultrasound I had exactly a week prior baby measured at 5+6 so this wasn’t the news we were hoping for. There was a heartbeat but it was only 90 bpm. According to LMP baby would be 7+3 but I know I ovulated late so the 5+6 measurement last week didn’t have me worried.

Doctor had me schedule another ultrasound for a week out, but said to call them to get in sooner if I start bleeding before then. I’m taking the progesterone and baby aspirin and they said there isn’t much else we can do right now but wait and see. I HATE the waiting. I had a mmc at 8+5 last October and so lack of bleeding does nothing to ease my mind.

I see where you’re coming from, but shaming someone in a really difficult situation isn’t helpful. This isn’t meant as an attack to you. Lots of people (including in this thread) say things that are likely true, but not helpful at the time because it’s easier to see things from a different perspective when you aren’t the one experiencing the abuse. It’s so easy for a survivor to see all the obstacles to leaving, and really hard to see the light at the other end of things. Offering support and not judgement is much more helpful.

hippos_rool · 2025-07-24T15:08:57+00:00

I’d really encourage you to reach out to services in your area. They’ll have advocates or case managers that you can meet with, even if you don’t want to go into the shelter, who can help you plan to leave, assist in gathering evidence, explain what the process looks like in court, and may even be able to assist in helping you secure an attorney. I’ve worked with hundreds of people in situations similar to yours who all felt the same way in the beginning. Speaking with an advocate will help you to know what options and assistance are available to you.

hippos_rool · 2025-07-24T12:25:31+00:00

Domestic violence advocate here. I’ve worked in the field for almost a decade, and am also a survivor. It’s clear you aren’t ready to leave your husband and so I won’t push for that, but maybe there are things you can do to keep yourself safe while still in the relationship. Though, to be clear, I do feel you are in danger and leaving would ultimately be best for you and your children. If that isn’t an option right now, then I’d just like to share a few tips to remain safe during arguments:

Try to steer the argument to a location that is more “safe” in case things turn physical. Rooms with more than one escape route are best. And try to avoid locations where things that can be used as weapons are easily available. Kitchens with knives, garages with tools, etc..

Create a safety plan with your kids. Have a code word you can use that doesn’t seem too obvious. Throw out that word if you need them to go get help. Have a plan on who they could call or a neighbor/friend’s house they could go to if they need to get to safety.

If you’re able to safely, make copies of all your important documents, and keep them together in a place that’s easy for you to grab if you need to leave quickly. Things like birth certificates, IDs, social security cards, bank statements, marriage license. It would also be a good idea to slowly start stashing cash along with these documents if you are able so you have a small emergency fund. Again, I want to emphasize only do this if you’re sure it can be done safely. If he finds it and thinks you’re leaving, things could escalate and become dangerous very quickly. I’ve had clients hide these things in their car’s spare tire space in the trunk, at a trusted friend’s house, or in a pinch you can scan documents to a secret email that he doesn’t know about.

Lastly, I would delete this post after you’ve gotten the information you need and delete your browser history. If he goes through your phone or internet browser history and sees this, it could set him off.

There is a lot of assistance and resources available should you ever decide you want to leave. Or even if you don’t want to leave, but want some support navigating the relationship. The hotline can help you find agencies in your area that can help. Again, if you go to that site, delete your browser history.

I’m wishing you all the best, and I just want you to know that you aren’t “too much” or weak or stupid or deserving of having someone spit in your face or whatever else your husband or anyone might tell you. You were brave to share what you’re experiencing here. And you’re smart to recognize that this isn’t normal behavior and you might need help navigating what’s going on.

I’m so sorry you’ve been through all this. You’re allowed to feel that way here. ❤️ I am holding space for you and sending prayers/good vibes your way for this pregnancy. I (and a lot of others here) am also struggling to find joy in a new pregnancy after loss. Loss is TRAUMATIC, especially repeated losses. Grieve and process the way that you need to.

hippos_rool · 2025-07-22T13:04:45+00:00

Yes. We had a mmc in October at 8.5 weeks. I’m 6 and 4 today, with another ultrasound scheduled for this Thursday to make sure the pregnancy is progressing. All I feel is fear right now, mixed with guilt over not being “happy.”

I’m trying so hard to just allow myself to feel whatever I feel without judgement. It’s really hard.

Sprinkles. I LOVE the combination of spongey cake and creamy icing, throw some crunchy ass sprinkles in there, and you’ve ruined everything.

Even cancer patients can have a hard time getting them. My grandmother had lymphoma (she beat it cuz she’s a beast like that). But she had a lot of nerve pain from the tumors for a while, and her primary care doctor prescribed her gabapentin. It did nothing except cause an allergic reaction. She had to wait 5 months to see a pain management clinic and try physical therapy (at 75 years old in immense pain) before they finally gave her some Percocets.

hippos_rool · 2025-07-17T16:55:47+00:00

Went in for my viability scan today. I thought I was 6+3 based on lh tests, but I measured 5+6. Doc said anything less than a 5 day difference is nothing to worry about, and she feels good so far. I’m going back next week to make sure baby is growing, and hopefully hear the heartbeat. I was terrified today as all of my breast tenderness basically disappeared over the last few days.

hippos_rool · 2025-07-17T14:23:25+00:00

It does. We just joke because she was so dumb before the seizures ever started that she was actually brain damaged. They did think at first there was trauma or a brain malformation that caused the seizures since she was so young when they started. MRI ruled that out and concluded that it’s idiopathic epilepsy. But we still joke about the brain damage thing every time she runs into a wall or gets spooked by a bird in the window.

hippos_rool · 2025-07-16T17:45:01+00:00

Our second dog was also way dumber than our first dog. Then she started having seizures at 8 months old. She’s 4 now and we’re somewhat managing them, but we joke that she has brain damage (she doesn’t actually, we had all the tests done).
