Hellobee Boards

Omg I'm so sorry!!! *Hugs* i haven't been in your situation, but I'd wait til Monday to call your obgyn. Make sure everything is out or who knows.... To confirm there was indeed a miscarriage...

I am so sorry!

First of all, you've got to let go of the guilt. This is in no way your fault - if you got pregnant on the shot, it was out of your control. You didn't ask for this to happen, and there was no reason for you to have guessed you were pregnant.

But it's perfectly normal to feel sad. Even if you didn't know you had something in the first place, it's okay to be sad that you lost it. Give yourself time to work through it - let yourself feel what you need to feel.

I would call your doctor, both to confirm the miscarriage was complete (that there isn't any tissue, etc, left) and talk about why your shot failed. I would get it over with sooner rather than later.

@TurtleDoves: I am so sorry. That must have been awful, especially not knowing you were pregnant.

First. Don't beat yourself up about it. Birth control or not, it's not your fault. There is probably nothing you could have done to prevent what happened from happening.

Second. I would call your doctor or a nurse-hotline and explain what you saw. They would be able to advise what the next steps are. If you are still passing anything or in serious pain, go to the ER.

I am so very sorry you are going through this Hugs.

@TurtleDoves: Everyone already gave you great advice. I just wanted to come in and give you a virtual hug.

How traumatic! I'm sorry you had to experience this!

I'm sorry you had to go through this, especially since you had no idea.

I went through that with my miscarriage, where i thought i was going to pass out from pain and eventually passed something. Once the sac passes, the pain is essentially over. I would still go to the doctor/hospital, and would consider a D&C in case there's still tissue remaining.

I definitely think you should see your doctor ASAP, and follow all the same bleeding precautions that normally apply (if you soak a pad in less than an hour, feel faint, or pass clots bigger than golf balls go to the ER). Please don't feel guilty, you trusted your birth control, and it let you down. I would also address that issue with your doctor while you are there. I am sorry that you are going through this. Hugs.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine - sending you strength.

I would call my walk in tomorrow if I was still in pain and definitely book with my OB Monday morning. Also, in Canada we have a healthlinks phone centre which has nurses taking calls 24/7- is there anything like that where you live?

@TurtleDoves: I'm so sorry!!!!! I would be a mess if this happened to me. As for what to do, I would go see my doctor. This is no way your fault. People can get pregnant on birth control. I just got back from visiting my friend's 3 month old. She didn't even know she was pregnant until she was 4 months along because she was on birth control. I would go visit my doctor and go from there.

@TurtleDoves: I'm sorry! Hugs!
Go to a doctor as soon as they are open--if the pain is a7/10, go to the ER (that's what my nurse line told me when I had mine). They can give you more answers.
Also, it is not your fault at all! Even when you want the pregnancy, a miscarriage comes with a huge amount of guilt for some people (like me), so I understand that feeling--still it is not your fault!

You're in my thoughts and prayers! I think everything you're feeling is normal, even though it's crazy hard. I hope you're able to heal quickly both physically and emotionally. We're all here for you! Hugs!

Oh my gosh I am so very sorry, that is scary. I would make an appointment soon so you can get checked out. I would definitely switch BC too...yikes. I will be thinking of you. Lots of hugs.

Geez, hugs @TurtleDoves:

You've gotten great advice, I hope in less physical pain as time goes on. On or off bc mc's happen and I feel silly saying it but everything happens for a reason. I hope your feelings of guilt and the mental picture of what you saw fades with time and you see your doc to ensure everything is ok for when you do want to ttc again. Hugs, dang depo, having been on it so long myself I don't know what to think about how you would have gotten pg :s Hugs!

I am so sorry to hear that that you are going through this traumatic experience! No advice, just wanted to offer some virtual hugs. *hugs!*

Oh honey, come here... ((((Hugs)))) I am so sorry... I know if I were in that same position, I would feel such tremendous loss and guilt as well. But you do know its not you're fault. I am so sorry you're going through this, you shouldn't be. This isn't fair. And I highly doubt you miscarried because of your shot.

I agree with others, see your ob this coming week and get it over with.

I'm sorry

So sorry you're going through this. Definitely get in to see your doctor. They'll be able to check you out to make sure you don't need further treatment.

I also think feeling guilty is normal. After my m/c all I could think about was how it was somehow my fault. But most of the time, the m/c is caused because the fetus is not viable. I read a lot of support materials online because I didn't had any close friends who had gone through it and that helped.

Hope your physical pain is diminished today. I had cramping and bleeding for about a week or two after my d&c but that's a different situation. Hope it doesn't last that long with a natural m/c. Hugs to you.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Passing....stuff...in the bathroom is a very traumatic experience :(. I'd definitely call the doctor--in fact, call and leave a message with the on-call OB with your practice and let them know. They might want you to come in asap to make sure there is no tissue left (which could cause an infection) or they may want to see you Monday.

You did not cause this and neither did your birth control.

No advice, but am so sorry! That must've been scary *hugs*
