Last wed. i went in for an ultrasound . they told be the babie heart beat was not where they would expect it to be for my how far along they thought i was so then we figure maybe i wasnt that far along . so they then sent me for blood work . they said my blood work showed me levels were consistent with me being 9 weeks but the baby growth was not. So then they tell me i could miscarriage and i am losing my mind. i dont feel like ppl understand how i am already so attached to this baby . they just say maybe its for the better but i just keep hoping for a little glimmer of hope in there . i want this baby i love it!! ?I go for another ultrasound monday and then we have to make a choice on what to do if everything isnt ok but i just pray it is.
Re: scared and dont know what to do
I'm sorry. Honestly peoples levels can be totally different so I don't know why they are going just off of your levels. If you don't know the day you ovulated (from charting basal body temp) you could be a week behind. I know when I ovulated and it makes me EDD a week more than what it would be going off of my LMP.
When I had my u/s I was a week behind, but I knew it was ok because of late ovulation.
Just keep your head up and hope for the best. I think it is great you just saw a HB.
I went in to hear the heart beat via doppler when I was 10.5 weeks. They could not find the heartbeat with the doppler so they did an ultrasound. With the ultrasound they found the gestational sac which only measured to be 5weeks and 4days along. The doc said that I was either 10.5 weeks pregnant and the baby stopped growing at 5w4d or I was only 5w4d pregnant.
They did blood work that day and then also 2 days later. Found out that my HCG numbers did increase, but not as much as he had hoped. A week later they did another ultrasound and we saw the sac fetal pole and heard the heartbeat!
So it is possible that you are just behind where you thought you were. I hope your situation works out like ours did. I felt the same way you did! I have another docs appointment this wednesday, hopefully they can hear the heart beat with the doppler and we won't have any problems. I'll be 9w6d. I am so sorry that you have to go through this time!
