Ts and Ps please

in Pregnant after a Loss

Good afternoon ladies,

 I have posted here before, and you were all wonderful with advice and encouragement. Unfortunately, I need some help again...as I've had three miscarriages and am afraid I'm about to have my fourth. I'm 6 weeks five days along and this past Friday I was sent to the ER after experiencing bright red bleeding. The great news is the bleeding was short lived, and probably due to an irritated cervix (according to the doctor).  The unfortunate thing is the ultrasound at the ER showed an extremely low heart beat - so low they could not find a read on it, and it took two doctors and an ultrasound tech to even find the baby. My hcg levels came back at 1100 which the doctor said was fine, but I have to have more blood work done tomorrow to check for an increase in levels.  Also, the doctor said its not a good sign when the heart beat is this low this early, and its a 60/40 chance I will have a miscarriage.  I have been taking it easy over the weekend, but am so scared I am going get "the bad news" next week. I do not know why I keep miscarrying, especially since I've had the genentic testing and everything came back okay.  I'm not sure if anyone else has had this happen, or if there is any insight into this, but anything will help right now.  Thank you ladies,

    Did you chart? If you didn't, you may have O'd late which would make that U/S really early. 

    I've never had one that early but there are ladies here that have.  If I remember correctly I think it's lucky if they can even catch the HB at a 6 week u/s. 

    I'm glad all the other tests are coming back good.  Take it easy.  FX for you.

    I hope everything turns out ok. No one deserves to go through this once let alone a fourth time. T&P. As the other poster said, maybe you were just early and the heartbeat had just started?

    I'm sorry you're having to go through this.  I have to agree with other pp that you may just be early.  I've also read (like other pps) that when the heart starts beating (often around 6 weeks), the heartbeat is very low.  As the baby grows, it gets much faster.  Are they going to do a repeat u/s once your b/w comes back as increasing?

    T&P's are with you, and I agree with the other posters about it possibly being too early. Hang in there!

    My T & Ps are with you.

    Just curious, when you did testing, did they check your progesterone level??

    Oh, I hope good news will come your way very soon.  You are pretty early so I hope your next appointment goes much better.  I'll be thinking of you.

    Thinking of you, I hope that since you are so early it is the reason for the low hb. I hope some better news comes your way. Sticky dust to you.
