D & C tomorrow AM

I was to be 11 weeks yesterday.  Ultrasound showed no heartbeat and baby measured only 9 weeks.  I've had bleeding with two previous miscarriages and this is further than I have ever gotten.  Why no bleeding to let me know something was wrong?  I'm heartbroken.  Two rounds of clomid, shots, and IUIs. I thought this was it.  Everything was so strong at 8 weeks.  What happened in a week that caused this?  I've been walking around baby stores for the past two weeks thinking I'm pregnant and making mental lists of things and all along this baby was no longer.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn"t make it to 11 weeks but my last 2 pregnancies had NO bleeding and the last had such strong symptoms. I thought for sure everything was ok. UGH! T&P for a quick recovery.

I am sorry for your loss as well.  The fertility doc released me to my OB at 8 weeks and yesterday's ultrasound showed the baby only measuring 8 weeks and 4 days.  There was such a strong heartbeat when I released from fertility doc and then started with the OB - both ultrasounds were stong.  I just wish I knew what went wrong in just a few days. I am praying today is easy and they give me good drugs

I so sorry for your loss and completely understand how you feel.  Missed miscarriages are so frustrating!  I found out I lost my twins this week at a routine ultrasound, they were measuring a week behind and no heartbeats.  I had no spotting or indication of anything being wrong.  Last year, I also discovered I had m/c at a regular ultrasound and the baby was measuring 3 weeks behind, no indication anything was wrong those 3 weeks.  Unfortunately, it can take your body a while to realize what has happened because hormone levels are so high at that point and they drop slowly before any bleeding would begin.

It is especially hard when you have worked so hard to get pregnant to begin with (I've been through 4 IUI's now).  Take your time to grieve.  I wish the best for you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

I thank you all so much for the support and knowing I am not alone in my grief is some kind of twisted comfort.  I was loaded up on anxiety meds in the IV. Everyone was really great. Very kind nurses. Anesthesia guy was very sympathetic and had no problem with giving me stuff to calm me down. So I guess it's done. Doc said some bleeding for the next few days. They gave me scripts for a few vicodin, heavy duty motrin, and tylenol with codeine. I requested they send the tissue for genetic testing. I hope that might tell us what we are up against.  My poor husband.  He was just as much of a mess as I was. Doc told me probs 2-3 weeks for results on that. I go in one week for a post op appt. I guess now I need to heal my heart and try again. I do have the cramping pretty bad but I just woke up from a nap so I will pop a pill and hope I go back to sleep. So I guess I put a call in to my fertility doc and demand he not release me until 12 weeks.  It seems I can get pregnant, not stay pregnant.
