Struggling to stay positive...

she-poz · May 2009

Has an u/s last Monday and saw the yolk sac. Went again yesterday and still only saw the yolk sac, but this time it was enlarged. U/S tech said that "almost always" is an indication of impending miscarriage and the doctor said that he's about 80% sure that's the way we're headed. So they scheduled me for a third u/s this coming Monday. If nothing changes, they will do a D&E in the afternoon.

It's still kind of early and it's totally possible that the next u/s will show a perfectly healthy little babe, but clearly they feel the odds are stacked against me. What especially sucks is that if it doesn't work out, this will be my second miscarriage in 4 months. I'm trying so hard to stay positive but I feel like there is so little hope, I'm definitely struggling...

I'm so sorry you are going through this. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Here's hoping that your next ultrasound shows a very healthy baby!

I'm so sorry. Neither of my last two pregnancies (both in the last six months) have worked out, and I'm worried for this one. I hope things turn for you.

Stay positive. Hope everything works out for you.

I really hope they are able to see a little one growing strong and healthy at your next u/s.

I've been in your shoes. I've lost 3 in the past year. Just do like you said and try to stay positive. They originally thought that this pg wasn't going to work out either. All we saw at the first ultrasound was the gestational sack that was measuring 4wk3d when it should have been 5wk6d based on my ovulation date. They prepared me for the worst. At the next appt a week later, we saw the HB and the baby doing fine. Turns out that I just had a late implanter and was a week behind what I thought.

I know it's tough and emotionally draining but do your best to just not think about it. I read 5 books in that week between ultrasounds. There's nothing that you can do either way unfortunately so just try to take it a day at a time. FWIW, my 2nd m/c wasn't nearly as devastating as my first just because I wasn't as attached. Idk if that helps and I don't mean to be hurtful. GL to you and your family.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I wish I had words of wisdom that would help, but unfortunately I'm at a loss. I'll be sending good thoughts your way and keeping my fingers crossed.

Good luck! Lots of wishes for a sticky baby.

Oh dear hang in there. I know what you are going through. The same thing happened to me with my 3^rd pregnancy and unfortunately it wasn?t a good turn out. My doctor said that at 5 weeks you might be able to see baby...6 weeks for sure as well as the flickering heartbeat. At my u/s at 5 weeks, we just seen the sac...and same at the 6 weeks u/s...I ended up passing it naturally a week later.

I?m thinking of you and praying for a miracle baby next week. Stay positive!!!
