Thank you so much to all who emailed and offered help for the book yesterday.
If any of you can remember any questions you asked about the physical aspects of miscarriage- for example: Should I have a D & C? Why aren't my HCG levels rising? What does a miscarriage feel like? How often does miscarriage occur? - please send them to me by email. I can use any and all questions regarding the physical aspects of miscarriage. Thanks in advance for anything you can do, and for the help you have already given!

I know a big question for women going thru a miscarriage is how much blood loss is too much and emergency help needs to be sought. I hemorrhaged badly with my last two miscarriages and needed emergency D&E's to stop the bleeding. While in the Dr's office prior to this I overheard a conversation one of the nurse's/receptionist was having with someone. It seemed to me the woman was concerned b/c she was bleeding heavily and wanted to know if it was normal or if she needed to be seen. The person taking the call wasn't very helpful at all and seemed very uncaring to me. After hearing that conversation, as soon as I started bleeding heavily (soaking a maxi pad in less than half an hour) I had my husband take me to the emergency room...

Is there any chance of the baby making it through? I asked that so many times, is it possible that I can be bleeding this much and all is ok with the baby? I asked those two questions over and over?

During my first miscarriage, I was pretty much told that if my hormone levels went down, there was no hope.
Well, it turns out this is *mostly* true, except for in cases when you lose one twin early on, causing a drop in HcG.
No one told me this, so when my hormone levels went back up I was very confused to say the least.
It was only after having another ultrasound that they saw that while there was one blighted ovum, I was still pregnant with one viable child.
Then during my second pregnancy my hormone levels were rising, but not doubling. I was really confused about what this meant. I ended up miscarrying, but no one could really tell me why my levels were still going up.
