T&P's needed

JKTTC1

We had a surprise pregnancy. LO #1 is 18 months and we weren't trying for another LO right now. I was late so took a test on May 19 (10 days ago) and at 3 different times/days I had all positives. We went today for an U/S and doc said it's either too early to tell or blight ovum. He could see the sac but it measured very small. He said he hated this but the only thing to do was wait until next week for a follow up u/s.

I didn't have any blood draws done yet. He said it would show there is something in my uterus but he already knows there is from the u/s so we didnt need to do them. This is my new doc. I switched after a bad experience with my last pregnancy and delivery with #1. I had blood draws with that doc at 5 weeks, u/s at 7, more blood draws frequently.

I've had some brown spotting and red blood here and there (red blood after sex) and brown bleeding this morning after my pap smear yesterday. No cramping though.

Any experience anything similar? A friend of mine and my sister both had u/s like this where they were told they could see the "house" (sac) but not the baby yet. Everything turned out to be fine.

FX that your ultrasound next week shows everything growing moving in the right direction. You'll be in my thoughts!

My sister had a similar thing happen to her. The only thing to do is to wait for next u/s. Will be thinking of you! Keep us posted if you can.

JKTTC - How far along do you think you are?

I'm 6w2d (right now) but have gone in at 4w4d and 5w4d and only saw the sak each time.  I go tomorrow so I will hopefully have some more experience to relay to you but it's very possible that you were just too early.  I know the bleeding adds to your concern, but remember, tons of women experience bleeding during healthy pregnancies.  It just so happens that this, coupled with having yet to see the baby equals a lot of worry in the meantime. 

In my experience (with real life friends) a blighted ovum can continue to develop just like there is a baby but, with no baby present.  So, the bleeding doesn't necessarily encourage the thought that there is no baby.  At least to me.  It's just scary to deal with nmw. 

I think there are just 2 separate issues here.  1 - you may be super early to even see baby.  2 - bleeding sucks.  But the sak is developed so the bleeding could not be an indicator that there just isn't a baby. 

It's a horrible terrible sucky wait, but try to hang in there.  I think I am a complete nervous wreck over this pregnancy compared to DD.  Now that I know what it's like to have a baby, the thought of losing it makes me want to lose my marbles.  Try and hang tight til your next U/S.  I'll have to go back to your post and see if you mentioned when it is.  I'll be counting down the days for ya.

No experience, but my fingers are crossed that everything is OK.

*hugs* I am so sorry.  Call your OB if you haven't already.  They will be able to help you with the next steps (testing betas down to 0 and a rhogam shot if you are Rh-)

So sorry!  Your experience sounds a lot like my first pregnancy (spotting, measuring small, being told there was nothing to do but wait and see).  Mine, unfortunately, did end in a m/c.  big hugs to you!
