Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Confused and anxious

Hey ladies. So I went for an ultrasound yesterday 9w5d and my doctor called with the results saying they didn't find the heartbeat. She said this could be normal because sometimes you don't see it early. She sent me for bloodwork to check my hcg levels, which I just found out have gone up, which is positive. Now I'm going for another u/s on Tuesday and I'm so nervous, I don't know whether to be positive or brace myself for the worst. Doc said there is no reason to not find the heartbeat at over 10 weeks, and if not will likely miscarry. Any insight or similar experiences? This is my first pregnancy and I'm nervous :s

  • Was it an abdominal ultrasound or transvaginal? It seems like you should be able to see the HB by then but you might have a tilted uterus or something that might make it more difficult. I hope you get good news on Tuesday. Sending T&P your way.

    I was wondering the same thing about which type of us you had. And I agree that the HB can usually be seen earlier..like 7 weeks I think...but like PP said maybe it was too difficult to see and get a good HB reading.

    Hoping for good news! TP sent to you!

  • They did both abdominal and transvaginal. Im trying to stay positive but its so hard!
  • Since you are here I assume you're looking for honest answers to prepare yourself. You will not find happy stories here.

    By 7 weeks a heartbeat should be located by TV, and certainly by 9 weeks. Two things could be going on you're much earlier than you thought, in which case baby should be smaller/ less developed, or you have had a missed miscarriage and your body has not yet realized the fetus has stopped developing.

    Many women on the loss boards, myself included, have had a M/MC. I know it's very difficult to find out about loss with no signs that anything is wrong. I'm sorry you're going through this.

  • I hope this doesn't come off as flippant because I do know your pain.  My best advice is to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.  I'm so sorry you're going through this.
