Miscarriage at 8 weeks but no baby on ultrasound

PWPERKINS622

Good morning--

On July 26th, my husband and I found out we were pregnant! From the beginning, it had been a very rocky road. The doctor first believed it was an ectopic pregnancy, then it was not, then my counts were not doubling like they should, then a gestational sac appeared, then last Friday I began spotting. The doctor did not want me to come in for a week, so on Friday I found out I was miscarrying. Deep down, I knew I was and I think finding out this Friday made things a tad easier. I had a week to be at home and realize what was going on with my body before the Doctor told me we were loosing the pregnancy. After going to the doctor and having an ultra sound done, there was still no baby-- just the sac. Obviously, there should have been a baby at 8 weeks and a heartbeat.

I am still upset and heartbroken, but I feel some relief in knowing there was no baby. That I am miscarrying the sac instead of our precious baby. I have prayed and prayed and wondered why and I think knowing a baby had not formed, has made things a tad easier. I guess my issue with writing this post is, my husband and I want to try again, we want a baby so badly. My issue is i am not depressed but hopeful.

Has anyone else felt this way? Did anyone else want to try to have a baby as soon as possible after a miscarriage?

I had a blighted ovum diagnosed at 8 weeks also back in January. It was very hard to walk through that for sure. I'm glad you feel hopeful and are ready to try again. Best of luck to you.

I'm currently pregnant with my second. At my 6 week ultrasound there was the gest sac and yolk sac, but no baby. I'm having another ultrasound tomorrow at just over 7 weeks to see if a baby has somehow appeared, but it looks like a blighted ovum the doctor said. I'm ok about it all and if there is indeed no baby, we will try again straight after too. I'll give my body a month off from feeling nauseous constantly and then try again. Good luck

So sorry we all are going through this. I had a blighted ovum with my first pregancy and had a d and c. A month later I got pregnant again and now have a 2 year old son. We started trying for our second and at my 10 week appointment there was no heartbeat so it was a missed miscarriage. I had a d and c last week. Hugs to everyone!

I'm also in a similar situation...I'm with you though, I just want to try getting pregnant again as soon as possible. We struggled with IF for our DS so I was dreading the thought of having to go through that all again. I'm trying to look on the "bright" side....at least I know I can get pregnant naturally... just wish we'd had a better outcome

I'm having a miscarriage as we speak was so happy to get pregnant after trying awhile. So sad see it go down the toilet. I'm very sad.

Hi- so sorry for your loss. I just posted as I am experiencing a loss as well.  My #1 thought is I want to get pregnant again ASAP. I think it will help me move on.  I had a very hard time getting pregnant with my son, and this second pregnancy came very easily.  I am terrified of experiencing trouble getting pregnant again as the rollercoaster of TTC for months and months was too much for me.
