6-8 weeks and no heartbeat

by Becca680, Aug 17, 2009 01:30AM
I am now what I believe to be 6-8 weeks pregnant. I had a MC the beginning of June, and had a negative test the first of July. On the 7th of July I had a positive. When I went to a dr they originally told me the hormone levels were left from the MC, so I waited a few weeks and went to a different dr. They told me I was pregnant and tried to go off the middle to early June for DOC. Friday I went to another dr who did an U/S and couldn't find a heartbeat and my hormone levels had dropped 300 since the last test several weeks ago. They then told me that I was going to mc and I needed to schedule a D&C, refusing to do another U/S or blood work. Has anyone had this happen? I'm having a hard time believing that this is just it. I feel like my hormones are out of whack because of the mc in June, and that there's a possibility there is a heartbeat it's just too early. Should I get another opinion? If the fetus isn't developing anymore, how long should I wait to do a D&C? Is it normal procedure to jump to the conclusion that there's no heartbeat and there's no other explanation besides the baby's not developing anymore? I feel like I'm still pregnant and so is the baby, what am I supposed to do? Thank you for your time.

Did you get a response from this post?  I am in the same situation.  I am definitely 6 weeks 6 days to 7 weeks 1 days based on ovulation.  I went in today for my second u/s and didn't see a heartbeat.  My Dr. says to expect a mc but I have seen alot of posts that the Dr.s are wrong sometimes?  I hope you progressed to a viable pregnancy and if not I am very sorry.
