How do you start one of these posts? I was hoping I would never have to. I got my +hpt on September 18th; this would be our second child, and DH and I were thrilled. I was experiencing all of the first tri symptoms, but was also extremely anxious about m/c. More so than with my first DD.
Fast forward to last night. I started bleeding around 6pm; I didn't have any cramps, but DH still took me to the ER because I was so anxious. My hcg was only 55. They were unable to find anything on the transvaginal u/s, other than some fluid on my right ovary. It was the most horrible experience I have ever endured: laying on the table and being told there was no baby in my uterus, and then having to stay there for 45+ more minutes because the tech thought she saw something that indicated it was ectopic. My legs were shaking so badly and I was having trouble controlling my breathing through sobbing so hard.
After reviewing the us, the MD said they were unable to r/o an ectopic because my levels were too low. I was pissed because he kept trying to give DH reassurance that maybe my dates were off... Even though I told him numerous times that I temped and know when I ovulated. I have to follow up with my OB tomorrow for another set of labs and possibly another u/s.
I should have been six weeks today. I'm sorry that you ladies have to be here too, but I'm glad to have the support right now.
And now a question: I've been bleeding pretty heavily, comparable to a period, and passing clots. Where I'm so early, will they let me pass the baby on my own if it's not ectopic? I'm terrified to have a D&C!!

Re: Joining you (siggy warning: Living child)
I had a MMC found at 7 weeks (baby stopes growing at 6weeks after our u/s) and have passed the baby on my own this weekend. It was a heart wrenching experience, but it gave me some peace to be able see and hold the sac as mine came out intact with a tiny fetus inside. I would imagine that they would let you pass on your own as long as it's not etopic.
Sendings hugs and thoughts your way.
