A horrible m/c

Hi, I just flushed another baby down the toilet and I am almost positive it is all my fault. My period was late, I did a test and it was negative. The next day I got my period, it was light, but I read that can happen with clomid. Two days later, I started my next round of clomid. Three days later, m/c. I could see the shape of the head through the sac, which was about three inches long. I SHOULD have done another pregnancy test, but their so sensitive these days I figured it was impossible to be pregnant. I couldn't stop shaking. The idea that I killed my baby is so horrendous that I don't even think I can do this again.

Oh, sweetie, you did not do anything wrong.  I'm sorry you are going through this pain.  I'm really praying that you went to get checked out.  Your hcg would still be elevated if you had a miscarriage.

Honey. It's not your fault. But get checked and find out what it was. Are you sure??? I passed my sack at home at about 9 weeks and I could not see anything inside. Please take care of yourself and stop blaming yourself.

I am so sorry.  That happened to me last October, but it was in a pota potty!  It was horrible!  (but no way was I gonna get it out!) I also had a mc 8 years ago, I was also 7 weeks, & it came out at different times,  my biggest clot was about 2 inch's.  There was no way I could see anything either time.  
I really think you must have been further along.
Take it easy, you had no idea.  Go to your DR in the am so they can check you out & make sure your uterus is all clear, so you don't get an infection.

Sweetheart, I am so sorry to hear this.  Please do not blame yourself.  Nature decided this was not the right angel to come into your life for whatever reason. I know it must be horrible!

Soon enough you will get the gift you deserve.

Hugs,
Courtney

Oh no...I'm so sorry to hear that.  Yes, maybe you were further along than you thought. Some women do have what seems like a normal period early on. Again, I'm so sorry about your loss. I've had two miscarriages myself, so I can relate. Take care, and please don't blame yourself...

Hugs!

I can't understand the size the size of the sac either, but there was no mistaking the shape of the fetus. I don't understand how I could have been that pregnant and not know it. I was sure I had a regular period last month. I don't even know what to do. I am in such shock.

I'm so sorry to hear you think you may have had a miscarriage, but please don't be so hard on yourself. At only 4-5 weeks pregnant, the sac would have been VERY small (more like just a few millimeters, not 3 inches) and the baby would have been too small to be seen with the naked eye. Could it have been something else?
