I'm sad to say that I am coming back to this board. I had a missed miscarriage in July, discovered at my initial ultrasound and appointment at 8 weeks (only measured 5w6d), followed by a D&C. I got pregnant again at the end of October and was so relieved to see a heartbeat at my initial ultrasound and appointment right before Thanksgiving. Baby was measuring right on track at 8w0d and I had a due date of 7/6/15.
We had been planning to tell our families this week, after my NT scan. Tonight is the last night of Chanukah and we had gotten a bunch of "big brother" and "new baby" books for our 4-year-old to give him as his last Chanukah gift. We knew he would be so excited to find out he was going to be a big brother. He's been asking for a brother or sister for a long time.
Well, I went for my NT scan yesterday and I knew as soon as the ultrasound tech put the scanner on my belly that the image on the screen did not look anywhere as developed as it should have at 12 weeks. There was no heartbeat and the baby only measured 8w2d. Baby stopped growing shortly after my previous ultrasound. DH and I were completely shocked because I have still been having normal pregnancy symptoms and have had no bleeding or cramping at all. I am having a D&C today. I go in at 10:30am.
So that's my re-introduction. I hate that I'm here.

I"m so so sorry. Take care of yourself today and rest up. So many hugs going your way.
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
They got some tissue from the D&C so they can test it and see if there are any signs of chromosomal problems that could have caused the miscarriage. I'm hoping that's what it is and that it's just a fluke that I had two missed miscarriages in a row. My doctor said that of the tissue comes back genetically normal, at that point we will talk about additional testing to try to figure out if anything identifiable might be causing these miscarriages.
I will also be asking for additional monitoring during a future pregnancy. This time I had no extra monitoring (my OB doesn't do anything different after a first miscarriage), so who knows whether my progesterone was low or anything like that. I didn't have any blood work or anything until 8 weeks, and they didn't check progesterone. Next time I am going to was blood work immediately following a BFP.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I also had two miscarriages this year, one in October at 6 weeks and the most recent one last week at 10 weeks (baby had stopped growing at 8w2d). I just had my D&E last Friday. Sending you all the hugs in the world right now!
