Sad Update: Long

I've been reassured several times on here the past few weeks. First at 10 wks when we couldn't find a hb on doppler and then at 12 weeks when the same thing happened... Thank you all for being comforting to me, but
about 4 hours ago we were told that we had no baby... I'm completely devastated.
Our pregnancy seemed to be going so perfectly. We were almost out of our first trimester and the all day ms was finally starting to go away! At 10.5 weeks they were unable to get a hb on doppler, but told us not to worry, it was still really early. So, we tried again at 12.5 weeks (this past thursday). Still no luck. The doctor asked if I still had sore boobs and sickness. I did, so he told us not to worry. We were probably just not as far along as they had calculated originally. And told us not to worry...
On friday, I had been doing alot of moving things around, nothing too heavy, just alot of it, and started bleeding. Not red, just the sticky brown stuff. I called the clinic, they said don't worry unless it turns red. So I didn't (too much)
This morning the brown was finally starting to stop, when it suddenly turned bright red. I called the clinic answering service and they connected me with the doctor on call. He sent me to the ER. So, we went.
By the time we got there (45 minutes away) the bleeding had gotten darker red, but wasn't letting up at all. He did a vaginal exam and told me that my cervix was still 100% closed, which was a very good thing. I then had an abdominal u/s. The tech said I didn't look very far along so we had to do a vaginal u/s. She wasn't allowed to tell me anything, but turned the screen for me to see. This was my first pregnancy and my first u/s. I knew what I was looking at, but couldn't tell if there was anything wrong or not.
About an hour later, the doctor came in and broke the news. A sac with no baby, a blighted ovum. He said that there was a small amount in the sac, but that the baby probably stopped developing around 6 weeks, and the sac was measuring 8 weeks.
All I've done since then is cry...

::hugs::
I am so sorry for your loss.
We lost our first babe at 11 1/2 weeks, and it is so?devastating when you feel that close to the "safe zone." ?Best of luck to you in your healing.?
I'm so sorry for your loss.
But I am completely flabbergasted to hear that when no hb could be located at your 12w appt, you weren't immediately given an u/s to confirm.
GL with your journey. You are in my thoughts.
Mom, why are you washing my feed in the sink?!
I will say a prayer for your strength. I'm so sorry.
Btw, I am pissed that they made you wait an HOUR to hear that news. :P
