We had our first appointment today. "Math wise" I was supposed to be 9 weeks, due in October. During the ultrasound, my doctor found 2 sacks, no heartbeat and the baby only measured at 6 weeks.
I am heartbroken. My husband is too. I've never been through something like this. I went in with high hopes and very excited. We were sent out with blood work do be done and a miscarriage to look forward to over the weekend.
I had my HCG levels checked today and will have them checked again on Friday and then an appointment again on Tuesday to get the results if I don't "pass it naturally" over the weekend.
I don't know why I feel the need to tell you this. But I want you to know that I am happy for you and your new little life. God bless.
Re: heartbroken
Read some of the other posts on here...and try not to freak out just yet...I have read that sometimes you cant see the baby that early (or hear a heartbeat for that matter) that early on. As the egg sac eventually becomes the baby--and then the sac goes away to turn into the placenta....praying for you--whatever the outcome that you are at peace...God has a reason for all He does--even if we dont know what that is.
But, until you have your levels checked agian, try to stay calm and be "neutraL" if you are too scared or nervous to be "positive". Praying for you...God Bless. Keep me posted, please.
so so sorry for your loss. went through this back in the fall and it was heartbreaking. the miscarriage/loss board is great and supportive and you should definitely check it out. ...and when you're ready, you'll be back here in no time.
thoughts and prayers for you guys ::hugs::
Again, Thank you all
Did the doc tell you to expect a miscarriage? I am pregnant with twins and they couldn't find the yolk or the heartbeats until around 8-9 weeks. All they could see before then was the two sacs that looked empty! I am a little over 20 weeks now and both my babies are doing just fine. Twins run smaller .. just so you know! I too thought I was further along because of my last period but according to their measurements I am not.
Don't count this pregnancy out!!! You might just be pregnant with twins who are waiting to make their debut appearance!
Good luck .. hang in there!
He did tell me to expect a miscarriage. He was not hopeful at all. He found 2 sacs and 1 baby. The baby measured at 6 weeks with no heartbeat.
A good friend of mine keeps joking with me, trying to tell me that because they are twins they are smaller, and that's why there is no heartbeat. That they are shy.
Try as I might, I haven't been able to get over the fact that there wasn't a heartbeat. And I know that's breaking my husbands heart. I'm trying really hard to concentrate on the fact that I haven't bled at all, and that the pee stick at the doctor's office didn't need the 3 minutes before the 2 lines were bright and clear. I'm praying that the HCG numbers come back high both times (or whatever they're supposed to be) and that he sees something positive next Tuesday.
I love you for being so positive! Good Luck with your babies!!
