I went in for my confirmation appointment yesterday. I was going by my last period date, and thought I was 7 weeks pregnant. After the ultrasound was done, my doc could not see an actual baby. Basically the gestational sac has formed, but the embryo wasn't visible. Doc said it's possible that I'm way early in my pregnancy, or that I may be suffering from what is called a blighted Ovum which is a type of miscarriage. Since I wasn't counting my ovulation days, it was harder for her to tell right at that time. What happens is, your body still acts as though you are pregnant: missed period, all pregnancy symptoms, etc, but a baby never forms. She had me do some bloodwork, and wants me to do a follow up lab on Monday. Either way, I will have to wait 10-14 days to do another ultrasound, since that is the only way to tell if the embryo is developing or not. I'm asking for prayers please! Please pray specifically for mine and my husband's peace while waiting, and for God to allow a healthy baby to form. Also, anyone else have experience with this? I feel so sad about all of this.
