Possible MMC/"waiting it out"- ticker warning (long vent)

aelocke

I should be 8 weeks 1 day today. I have literally begged my doctor to see me since I found out I was pregnant. I went for a prenatal apt with the nurse at 4 weeks and got complete attitude about how "they don't see prenatals until 6 weeks" and blah blah blah. Ive been trying to conceive for over two years and have gotten pushed aside so many times, I honestly don't know why I go to the office. Anyway, I made an apt last week at a private ultrasound clinic that normally does 3D images later in pregnancy because I couldn't get my doctor to see me and was so worried-I miscarried on May at  5 weeks. They don't normally do US early in pregnancy, but agreed to see me- I was 7 weeks 1 day. We saw a cute little baby and a heart beat but was measuring 6 weeks 1 day, not 7+1 but weren't concerned because it wasn't a vaginal US.

Fast forward this week and I made an apt at my drs office bc I just felt "off". I saw the NP bc my doctor was booked and was told I was constipated and my cervix was "mostly closed" and she did an ultrasound that showed a gestational sec, no fetal pole, no embryo. I would've  been 6+6 and the sac measured 6+4 to "wait it out" and go again Monday for a repeat US before having a D&C or taking any meds to speed the process along.

I feel hopeless and like Im being dragged a long for no reason. She wants me to "think positive" and take it easy and go from there.

My diagnosis right now is a MMC. Has anyone else had something similar to my situation or ever heard of a positive outcome? TIA.

 

edit: Im also still on progesterone supp. Ive read that can take 4 weeks to start miscarrying on progesterone

I'm sorry you have had to go through this in May. Hopefully there is still hope right now. If you haven't started bleeding or cramping there could still be a chance that they missed something on the US.  I started bleeding at seven weeks and until then had no idea that anything was wrong. They got me into the clinic a couple of days after my bleeding started and did a vaginal ultrasound. They saw a yolk only and no baby. By the time I came in they said what they saw didn't look organized like a normal pregnancy and there was most likely a chromosomal defect. Best of luck. I will be thinking of you.
