  I would get a second opinion or demand that they recheck and not leave until they do! There is no reason for them not to.

  Unfortunately, it probably is. I know this might sound a little harsh, but my sister had the same thing once- It wasn't until a few dyas later that she had symptoms and started bleeding. I would definitely get a second opinion first (and soon), because if you don't bleed and naturally expel, you'll have to have a D&C. If you did miscarry, rely on your support group and try to reach out to others to learn how to cope properly.

  You might want to try asking on Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss section

  I'm sorry for your loss.

  At nine weeks, the heartbeat should be easily detected by u/s. Esp. if they detected a HB at an earlier scan. It is not uncommon to not have symptoms right away - many ladies experience a "missed miscarriage" - they had no indication that their baby had stopped growing weeks before.

  You can always ask for another check before moving forward with a d&c or other proceedure, but I think you need to prepare yourself and begin the healing/grieving process.

  As a PP said, the MC/PL board is a wonderful place for support.
