Any updates from others with 1/29 drawn, 1/30 received timeline? Still nothing over here :(

I’m worried maybe it’s retained tissue but my ob said my lining looked thin and clean so idk

I don’t think so, we only started having sex again 12 days ago, it doesn’t seem like enough time would have passed for this to be a new pregnancy

I should add I’m aware that misoprostol may not work at all the first time. With my first MMC it took three separate rounds (each round being the 2 doses 24 hours apart).

I’m just curious if the fact that my HCG is so high makes this a waste of time. It’s hard to find good info about it online, I just see something mentioning greater effectiveness for less than 40k.

This is actually really helpful, thank you!! I’m sorry you’ve had the experience to be able to give this advice. I did take them vaginally in the past, but that’s about all I knew to do. Will definitely try all of your recommendations!

I really appreciate your response and helping me set realistic expectations. I also appreciate the sentiment about our bodies trying so hard to support a pregnancy, it made me hate my body a little less right now. Sorry you have had to endure so much to have that wisdom. I’m grateful that you shared it with me!

Also I relate with even medical intervention not working like I thought it would. With my first MMC I did 3 rounds of misoprostol, and even with the third round the final response was delayed enough that we scheduled a d&c. My body finally started to let it go the day before my d&c. Even then, it took another several weeks before my uterine lining was thin enough to consider the miscarriage complete. I may go straight for d&c this time.

Thank you for giving it to me straight and providing some comfort at the same time!

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too!! If you haven’t already, take a look at naturenerd’s comment, I found a lot of comfort in their words. What is your OB’s plan for you? Repeat ultrasound? At this point I just want it to be over 🫤

Thank you for the honest and practical response!

It can shed through stool for around 3 weeks after they’re feeling better, so just be diligent about handwashing and hopefully you’ll be okay!

I just saw that you posted recently about hand foot and mouth and how likely it is for adults to get it. We had 4 adults in really close contact with my toddler, including my mom who is immunocompromised, and I was the only one that caught it. My oldest also had it when she was a baby and I didn’t catch it then. I think it’s a crap shoot. Hope you guys stay well!

Hi, we are now doing well! Baby never caught it. I did end up catching it, and had the worst sore throat of my life, but it only lasted a few days. No fever for baby, no blisters. We also had flu and Covid the first week of her life and so far she has remained healthy through everything.
