Hi everybody! I wrote at the end of last wk, believing I was 6.5 weeks pregnant - having concieved my firstFirst progesterone mc10 First progesterone mc5 First-progesterone vgs 100 First-progesterone vgs 200 First-progesterone vgs 25 First-progesterone vgs 400 First-progesterone vgs 50 First-testosterone First-testosterone mc period after a m/c. I had a dr's appt on Fri. to ensure all was well, considering my circumstances, & the dr was unable to see a baby.
The womanWomen's way who performed my u/s said this could mean 1 of 2 things. Either I am having a m/c again, & it's just early, or that I am really only 5 wks along. That's what everything was measuring up at (5 weeks not 6.5). She added that my chances were probably 50/50,& that she couldn't say which way she was leaning. My history of a recent miscarriage and a previous complicated pregnancy in 2005 would ordinarily make her lower what she felt were the chances of this being a health pregnancy, but she did say that my gestationalGestational diabetes Gestational trophoblastic disease sac and yolk sac were both very healthy & round looking. She continued to explain that usually even fairly early in m/c the gestationalGestational diabetes Gestational trophoblastic disease sac would look deformed (not a perfectPerfect choice circle) & eventually get blood around it, neither of which was she was seeing in my u/s. Has this happened to anyone who continued on to have a healthy pregnancy? Is there still a chance I may be having a successfull pregnancy realalistically? I have another ultrasound scheduled in a wk, & the dr said if they can't see a baby by then they know I have lost him for sure.
I can't help but be negative because I had a positive home prenancy test 1 day before my missed period. If I was really over a wk less pregnant than I thought, I doubt the test could have come back positive? Any information/advice would be hugely appriciated! Thanks!!
I would not even worry about it. I actually think I am 6wks 5 days right now. On Thurs. the 26th the transvaginal ultrasound only was showing the dead fetus sac stuck in my cervix but my numbers were still rising. Doctors were baffled. Scheduled a D&C for the following Monday 30th and low and behold another precautionary ultrasound before the D&C showed another sac in my uterus. This was on a really new high tech machine they told me. Also a reason for rising hcg. Only the sac, maybe a yok, no fetal pole. Today 1 week later we have a fetal pole and heartbeat. (still a 10 1/2 week old dead sac in cervix). One week will make all the difference!! I'm excited for you. Let me tell you those ultrasound people won't say a thing, the first 2 ultrasounds in radiology wouldn't make a peep! I think you will be just fine! Good Luck, can't wait to hear.
If you're 6.5 weeks they should see something. I mean things happen, where the baby gets missed, i guess because it's so tiny. But it should be there. If you're saying there is a way you could be 5 weeks well then it all makes sense, and you're probably 5 weeks. I just had my ultrasound at 7 weeks 3 days, and the baby was really small, but there was a heartbeat so maybe, they just couldn't see it yet. Try not to worry because stressing dosen't help AT ALL! Good luck to you and keep us updated!
Thanks for both your input!
The dr is the one who said perhaps I ovulated late and am a week less along than I thought. I was trying to guess how possible that was. My LMP began 12/25 and last for about 4 days I think, and I got a positive home pregnancy test on 1/24. I was assuming I ovulated on 1/8, but to be only 5 wks it would have had to have been closer to 1/18 I think? Would a home test have been able to show positive just a week after I ovulated? That's why I am doubtfull. This is so hard, I wish I could understand what is going wrong everytime!
No I really don't think a test would work 1 week after ovulation. I had to go in the ER for stomach pains, when I was 4 weeks 3 days. They did an ultrasound to make sure that it wasn't ectopic and it wasn't, but there was no baby. The OB did tell me that your hcg count does need to be 2000 or higher to see the embryo on the ultrasound machine. At that time mine was only 885. Maybe your hormones just aren't high enough yet. I did have a missed miscarriage though like some other women, and I didn't know until I was 10 weeks pregnant, there was a sac and no baby, no fetal pole at all! It can happen, just try to keep your chin up, it's a hard thing to go through, but many of us on here have gone through it, and gotten pregnant again. I've had 2 healthy babies since then, and am 10 weeks pregnant again!! So Sometimes it happens for whatever reason. I wish you the very best, and feel free to post some more if you have any questions!!
So if I am misscarrying, does anyone know how long it typically takes? From when your baby stops progressing until you actually bleed and begin the parts of the process you can see/feel physically? I don't know what effects that, or if it would vary from person to person. I should have been 6.5 weeks on Friday, and there was no visible blood or deformity of the sacs, but the u/s technician said it measured at 5 weeks. Does this mean the process started almost two weeks ago? I think I could take more comfort in knowing I am healing - if it has to end in a m/c - than in knowing I am carrying around my deceased baby for the next several weeks. I hope that doesn't sound cruel, I just want a chance to know and grieve for my lil one if m/c in inevitable....
Did they take your hcg levels again to see if they're rising? That's what I hope they did! They typically platau and then begin to decrease if you are miscarrying. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I've had a dead sac in me for 10 1/2 weeks now that hasn't passed, but, like I said previously I'm pregnant again 6 1/2 weeks in the uterus.
WHen I miscarried naturally, I didn't even know the embryo had passed. I started spotting one day and woke up the next with like a full blown period, that lasted about 8-10 days. I was around 6 weeks that time. With the other one I had no bleeding or cramping just went for an ultrasound at 10 weeks and there was no fetal pole. I had a d%c within like 2 days, and never did have a chance to bleed. SO I really really don't know when You may start to bleed or fully pass this baby. I understand what you are saying about being able to pass it so you can grieve, you don't sound like a horrible person. It's hard enough to deal with losing one, even harder to know you're carrying him/her around. I hope you get your answers soon!
The dr's office said they didn't want to take my hgc levels again, I actually requested it thinking it might give me some sort of answers prior to this Friday's ultrasound. She would only say that a u/s would be more definite in explination. I had the levels drawn at what I believed was 4 weeks and then 4.5 weeks and they were increasing as they should. It's hard not too keep your hopes up when you don't know 100%, even though I know it's just going to make it that much harder this Friday to hear any bad news.
Has anyone heard anything regarding the gestational sac and if the fact is was still "perfectly round" in the dr's words might possibly be a good sign? She said my yolk sac looked great too. Shouldn't there have been something wrong there if I was having a m/c? Or would it not matter in a blighted pregnancy? I read a little about those online...
wow !!your story seems similar to mine. I had u/s vaginal done at 5 weeks said good yolk sac and nice thick gestational sac to but no fetal pole yet? when is the earliest it shows? my hcg was 4345 and two days later 9000. I'm on progestrone supp. until I can be seen on the 20th.I"ve had 3 mis and 3 d&c's. also I'm 35 so I feel this is my last chance.I don't know my lmp date either because I only have 2 periods a year.thought aunt flow was coming but bb's started to grow and ach so I took a hpt that's how I found out pg. My nerves are totally shot so any feedback would help me too. Take care and prayers to you to.
I know that usually they should see a baby after 6 weeks. Liek I said in previous posts, I was 7 weeks 3 days with this one, and she/he was there. My other pregnancies I have never had a ultrasound earlier than 7 weeks. I don't think it's possible to show at 5 weeks. I was 4 weeks and 3 days at the hospital when they were checking this one the first time to make sure it wasn't an ectopic and there was nothing there. You may just need to wait a couple more weeks. Good luck to you and God Bless!!
Just hang in there...I know what you are talking about with the ultrasounds and them not saying anything...sometimes it makes you wonder what is going on. Luckily my cousin is an ultrasonographer and she does it for me on the side and actually talks to me about every little detail and spends more than 15 minutes looking at me and the baby. Good Luck!
what happens now to the sac thats not alive? Do they remove it at somepoint? Sorry if its to personnal a question just curious. By the way congrats on the pregnancy, im sure that was a ball of emotions thinking you weren't having a baby and then finding out in fact you were! thats amazing
HA, TOO PERSONAL?? At this stage, nothings personal. I'd love to tell you if they new what to do with the non viable one. The us tech popped in a vcr tape to record the ultrasound. She said it's so rare in 13 years she has never seen it and will probably never see it again. It's not a twin it is two seperate pregnancies 4 weeks apart. She is going to submit it to a OBGYN magazine. Anyways.. I see my OB on Friday if they don't call earlier and want to send me to high risk. They don't want to disturb it right now. The cervix is closed and it hasn't moved in 7 days. They say if anyone has seen it before, high risk at Arnold Palmer will be able to tell us. I'm just excited to finally see a heart beat after a miserable 6 blood withdrawls and 4 ultrasounds. Thanks for your interest :)
I am having a similiar situation.. wondering if anyone has experienced this. I went to the Dr last week.. not sure of LMP. Had been spotting all weekend. Had external & internal US done which shows I am 6wk, 4d. No heartbeat. Thought we saw somthing but not sure. So off to the lab I go every 2 days. Monday hcg levels 51K , Wed, 65K, Fri 80K. They are supposed to double every 2 days. ANyone ever have this lead to healthy pregnancy? I am sicker than a dog. Going in for anothe us tom. as they are not sure what is going on.
Some ladies levels rise slow. Alot of times in early pregnancy they only double every 72 hours. So that may be what your's are doing. They're still rising, so keep faith. It's kind of 50/50. Let us know and keep us updated, we're here if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask! Oh and sorry I couldn't be more help, there's just nothing to really say when that is going on besides 50/50 and that some women go on to carry a healthy baby and some dont. I've miscarried twice but have had 2 wonderful children since then and now one on the way. So you will be able to try again if things don't turn up on the positive side!! Good luck to you, and God bless!!
let me tell what is happening to me. Have yall ever heard of this? At 5wks 6days transvag u/s did not show anything.... No pg of any sort, no gestational sac, no yolk sac, no fetal pole, simply nothing. I'm so confused. They repeated my hcg it was up to 1510. It has not been doubling as it should. pretty close to normal but not quite. I go in again tomorrow for repeat hcg. Anybody have a similar story?
I have never heard of that. Are you sure you didn't ovualte later in your cycle, or maybe the dates are wrong? At 4 weeks 3 days when I had mine they didn't see anything. But at 5 weeks my levels were around like 7000 which I know there is a big range there for levels. But at the 4weeks 3 days my hcg was 885 so it sounds like you maybe about a week behin, and in that case they wouldn't see anything!! I hope this helped a little bit, but to me you sound like you're not as far as long as they think!! Good luck, keep us updated!!
I went for another u/s on Monday. This time they saw a heartbeat but very weak. SO I am prego but I was spotting with brown discharge. The Dr. said not to worry about it but today it was very mucusy. Do you know what that means? I am also experiencing menstral cramping. I go back next week for another U/S.
Oh I am so glad I found you all. I went in for my 8 wk u/s last thur. My baby was only measuring 6 1/2 wks. I have no symptoms of being pregnant never did with this pregnancy. I was shocked. OB said he saw some fluttering but no heart beat. I go back tomorrow for 2 u/s. No bleeding mild cramping through pregnancy. I was really sick with last 3 children. I was on clomid and OB said that may be why I was only 6 1/2 wks. That doesn't add up to me? Any of you not feeling symptoms?
Jgilliga- Hun I'm not to sure, I did have some spotting this pregnancy that was brown and mucusy like when I wiped. It did stop though after a day. And this was a week after a vaginal ultrasound. SO maybe it is from the ultrasounds you have had done. As far as the heartbeat I know my babys heartbeat was going pretty fast. I'm not sure about a slow heartbeat, I would say if the Dr. said don't worry yet, then don't worry. Just have faith that this pregnancy is going to make it!! Nothing stronger than a mothers faith, and prayer for her child.
Deb- I think you should have seen a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks but anything is possible. On the pregnancy symptoms I am the exact opposite of you. I have had 3 pregnancies and no symptoms and this pregnancy I am very very sick, well was, I am almost 11 weeks and feeling so much better. I wish you the very best with this pregnancy and hope everything turns out alright!
I am so glad I found this forum....
I am 6w4days since LMP but my ultrasound showed 5w6d but with a fetal pole and heartbeat. They said the u/s was normal development but my hcg is not corresponding. I had 1692 on Friday, 1956 on monday and 2375 on wednesday. i am definitely not doubling and i have had a beige mucus when i wipe about once a day.....any hope????
Hi everyone. I am glad I found this site. I went to the dr today for the first u/s to find out how far along since I wasn't sure of my lmp. I have been spotting constantly. Of course in some pregnancies this is normal. Well, today the dr tells me it may be an abnormal pregnancy. The u/s tech said it was a very early pregnancy and had to do the intravaginal u/s and of course she wouldn't say a word. The dr tells me the sac is not completely round. I have to go back Monday to have hcg test again. Then I guess this is when I will find out the good or bad news. The dr told me not to worry but that he wanted to be honest about it because he also thought I was further along. I am a nervous wreck. I of course expect the worst. Has anyone ever experienced the sac not being completely round like it should be and end up having a healthy pregnancy? Your input is appreciated.
brz - im waiting to hear about the sac as well....i can understand how scared you are -this is my first pregnancy and i have been on an emotional roller coster expecting the worst then a glimmer of hope....it is a lot for someone to handle...good luck and im interested to hear what the others say
Thanks for your comments. I went in for my second u/s and still no heartbeat. The fetus was actually smaller than last week. I went ahead and had a DNC. OB said I could try again in 2 months. I have 3 beautiful children. But this has been very devistating to me. I never expected this to happen to me. Now I understand the pain that this can cause women.
I understand, I have 3 and am pregnant again, I'm still in the risky zone. I also have had 2 miscarriages if I didn't say that before. I would be hurt very much If I lost this baby. But you have to think of it in other ways like the baby could have had something wrong with it, or a heart defect, you never never know, and when it hurts, at the same time it could be a blessing in disguise. I would love my child the same if it did have problems, but who wants their child to go through life with any of those problems. I wish you the best in trying to conceive again! Sending sticky baby dust to your next little bean***** God Bless you!!
ct-w I am sorry you're having to go through this. If you have read on here many many other women have/are going through this. I can't exactly give you good news, and what I tell most of them is it is 50/50. If you really should be 6.5 weeks And it's showing less, a lot of times that does indicate that will end in a miscarriage. A early ultrasound usually is not a week off it may be a couple days but that's about it. At 6.5 weeks I'm not to sure what you should see. You're really going to have to wait it out. On the mucus like I told the other girl I had some mucus that was stinged with brown blood but only happened that day, that was around 7 weeks and I am now 11 weeks and have seen the heartbeat. I really hope everything works out for you please keep us updated, and God bless you!!
Brz - I do know that the sac should be pretty round and healthy looking. You may just be really really really early, when my hcg was 885 I was only 4 weeks 3 days, so the way your hcg looks you would be around that. The only bad side to what you have said is, your's spotting, the sac isn't round like it should be, and your hcg isn't doubling. I hate to say it but those are all indicators of a non viable pregnancy. But many women have episodes of unexplained bleeding, their levels rise slower, especially in early early pregnancy, and like I said for the sac I'm not to to sure but I believe it should be round and healthy.
Like I just told Deb, it's a very hard thing to go through, if you are indeed miscarrying. But, there could have been something wrong with the baby, and it's a blessing in disguise. And also like I said, it's not like I would not love my child if it had down syndrome, or a heart defect, or anything major. God does things for a reason! And if you are miscarrying, you can always try again, I had 2 miscarriages and have had 2 healthy pregnancies and one on the way again. A lot of women have miscarriages for unexplained reasons, usually do to chromosones. I wish you the best in trying to concieve again if these pregnancies don't make it. I wish I could have had more happy news for you two. Sticky baby dust to you 2****** God Bless You both!!
Thanks for your input. I was afraid of that. I was upset yesturday but I realize it is just reality and it is going to happen no matter what I do. I appreciate everyone's input. Now it is just a matter of time. I have to go back Monday so at least I will be prepared to hear the bad news. My husband is a bit upset and is afraid I will not want to try again. This pregnancy was actually a surprise. It just happened. But it is better something to go wrong now instead of later. I am 37 years old so the odds are already against me. I have a beautiful 6 year old girl who is begging for a little brother. Well, thank you and I will let you know what happens.
Need help. My LMP was Jan 11th and i am pregnant. Had a m/c Aug 05 and health pregnancy in 04. went for hcg levels on 2/13/06 and was 1248. on 2/15/06 level was 1980. my levels are not doubling and the drs told me not to worry. i went back again today for another hcg and am awaiting the results. I am really freaking out!!!!!!!! Does this sound like a viable pregnancy????
Well, like I've said before, it's a 50/50 chance. Your hcg isn't doubling so that's always a rise for concern, but sometimes in early pregnancy hcg dosen't double as quickly, sometimes its only every 72 hours. I would not freak out yet. You really need to wait until you get the blood test results back today and see what they are. You will be in my prayers, please keep us updated! God Bless you!
thank you for your support. I am just so nervous. my husband and i have been trying to get pregnant since my m/c in Aug/05 and when i found out i was pregnant we were so excited. I don't remember all this trouble with my son. they didn't even see me at the dr until i was 8 wks and i did have some spotting with him. so i don't know if it's normal for me to have slow rising hcg levels or not. i know i am not sick like i was with my son, but my bbs do hurt. it's just really hard for me to understand how you can have one pregnancy that is text book and then lose a baby and now possibly lose another. I just keep on praying.
I understand, I don't know how it happends either. I had a nicehealthy pregnancy before I lost my two right in a row, but then after that like I said I've has 2 and another on the way. Just keep the faith high and say your prayers. Like I told the other Lady there is nothing stronger than a mama's faith, and prayer! God Bless Please keep me updated, sending sitcky baby dust your way********
Hi there. I found out I was pregnant about a week and a half ago. By my calendar I am 6.5 weeks and go tomorrow for ultrasound. Please pray, I have had three previous mis carriages and one healthy pregnancy. I will be 39 this Saturday. I have an eight year old who is very excited but, has gone through the last three miscarriages with my husband and I. He knows to be guardedly excited. I'm very glad I found this web site. Thanks.
I just found this thread and thought of posting my query. I have been married for 6 years. For 3 years I was on bcp's and everything went well. After that we decided to stop the pill. We tried for abour 1 year and I got pregnant in Feb,2005. After 6 weeks I had some spotting for 1 week and then had a miscarriage. I didn't take this very seriously as I wasn't aware that I was pregnant and was playing a lot of sports at that time. But just after 4 weeks of my miscarriage my pregnancy symptoms were back and I was pregnant again. This time I took proper care but they couldn't find a heartbeat at week 8 and I miscarried naturally at week 10. After that I had an US to check that everything was OK and it was.. We have been having unprotected sex since during my ovulation and had no luck since.. Now i've found that I'm pregnant again. My LMP was on 18th Jan. Last week I went to visit my Dr and after that visit I had some red bleeding. It was lets say 5-10 drops of blood. After that I was really scared and called the Dr. She then sent me for an US but unfortunately there was no slot available so I had to come back home after 3.5 hours of wait. The bleeding didn't happen since but I've had some dark brown spotting 2-3 times everyday when I wipe. What does this mean? Am I having a miscarriage or I still have a chance.. I'm freaked out. I really want this baby. Now my US is scheduled for tomorrow and I'm really scared. Please pray for me and let me know what should i expect to see at 6 week 3 days... Is there anyone who had similar symptoms and still had a baby?
Many thanks for reading this...
Hello, I have a situation similar to some of yours. I wanted to post it and see what you all think. Yesterday I woke up with some pain in my lower stomach. It was a weird feeling, it was kinda like a constipated feel, but a stretching feel as well and it shot down towards my right ovary. I took a home test last week that was positive but hadn't got into the doctor yet. But from my LMP it was suggesting I was 6 weeks. I went to the hospital and was seen in the ER. The u/ sounds (one regular one vaginal) didn't show anything in my uterus. The dr comes back later to tell me that my baby is on top of my uterus instead of inside. Tells me that I will have to have surgery to remove it and the OB/GYN on call will be down shortly to talk to me. She comes in later and tells me that she doesn't agree with what he said at all, she suggested that maybe I'm earlier than 6 weeks, the HCG level was 1700 she told me that you generally can't see anything until it's at least 2500. I go back in the morning to have my HCG rechecked and go from there. Dr. stated as long as it's doubled I'm in good shape. She gave me hope but also said she couldn't guarantee anything 100% bein that I miscarried at about 3/4 weeks Nov '05. Anyway have any thoughts or suggestions or stories like mine. Thanks and God bless you all.
I have had a similar experience, at 6 weeks I measured at 4 weeks two days, and at 7 weeks one day, I measured at 5 weeks four days. I had blood done at weeks four days and my levels were 36882 – but a baby has not been seen yet in the sac cause, it has been too small – is this normal? What are my chances of delivering a normal healthy baby – or delivering at all? Please let me know because I am going out of my mind with worry!
i am so very happy i stumbled upon this forum. i have been doing so much researching and nothing is helping me...my last period was feb 1st but my period normally comes on the 7th of everymonth. i took a home pc that was positive im not sure when but it was + my problem is this .... ive had 2 ultrasounds that have showed absolutley nothing except a "mass" on the left side immediatly they told me i possibly had or having a m/c or an ectopic(tubal) pregnancy. let me tell you the hospital i went to was ****... they really didnt explain anything to me. the first ultrasound was done 3/6 with a hcg of 200 and something then the 8th my hcg was 540 the 13th i returned to the emergency room because i was bleedin the 12th and 13th it was not heavy like a period by anymeans but i had a m/c in oct 05 and just wanted to know if this was happening again. u/s showed nothing so i asked is it maybe just still to early the nurse told me it was very unlikely. my hcg on the 13th was only 1000 something so it was 4 days between hcg counts so it took 4 days 4 my level to doubled my first and 3rd count where in the same lab my 2nd was a different lab. so anyways i got admitted yesterday and got released this morning i didnt want to stay but they insisted i didnt understand why the nurse said just to keep an eye one me because the suspect an ectopic pg so i was awakend to my ob telling me they were going to give me an Methotrexate injection i told them no now maybe that was stupid but i want to wait atleast one more week because i believe it may still be to early. anybody have any helpful info please please let me know anything is helpful oh and one more thing my ob told me that tubal pregnancys are very uncommom like 1% of ectopics are tubal ive been researching on the net and what ive found is that actually they are very common or so thats what several sites say anybody have any input on that matter? if infact it is common im switching ob i dont want an ob that dosent know what there talking about also he has me getting another hcg test on the 18th i would think it should be every 2 days
I was hoping that someone would have a similar story to mine. If so please let me know the end result for you. I went in for my first ultra sound 2.5 weeks ago not knowing how far along I was. They did an ultra sound on me and had me talk to a nurse. The nurse told me with no emotion that this doesn't look good and I should be thinking about a D&C and got come back in a week for another ultrasound. I didn't know what to think because they had nothing to compare this to and didn't even offer to take my blood to check for hcg levels. I went back the following week and the tech said that they sac had doubled and that there was a yolk sac and that I should feel very encouraged. The nurse didn't even speak to me this time just told the tech to tell me to come back in one week. I went back this week at what the tech thought to be 6.5 weeks and we did not see a baby or a fetal pole, and the nurse gave me the same speach that she gave me the first time about a D&C. I just feel like i should wait and see and I also feel like i'm being pushed for a d&C. I also told her to check my hcg which I did my second drawing today and stil waiting on results. The nurse also tried to say there was no yolk sac and I told her that there was one last time, and she acted as if she didn't even remember that and told me oh well if it's not going to work out then it can disapear. I'm really stressed out and just don't know what todo. I go for another ultra sound on Monday which was my request. I would already be in surgery right now if it was up to the nurse. Has anyone ever went through this. It's like a horror story and I just want to be 200% sure before doing anything. I also don't understand why she's pushing a D&C I just want to let mother nature take its' course if nothing is going to happen.
The dr is the one who said perhaps I ovulated late and am a week less along than I thought. I was trying to guess how possible that was. My LMP began 12/25 and last for about 4 days I think, and I got a positive home pregnancy test on 1/24. I was assuming I ovulated on 1/8, but to be only 5 wks it would have had to have been closer to 1/18 I think? Would a home test have been able to show positive just a week after I ovulated? That's why I am doubtfull. This is so hard, I wish I could understand what is going wrong everytime!
Has anyone heard anything regarding the gestational sac and if the fact is was still "perfectly round" in the dr's words might possibly be a good sign? She said my yolk sac looked great too. Shouldn't there have been something wrong there if I was having a m/c? Or would it not matter in a blighted pregnancy? I read a little about those online...

Brz - I do know that the sac should be pretty round and healthy looking. You may just be really really really early, when my hcg was 885 I was only 4 weeks 3 days, so the way your hcg looks you would be around that. The only bad side to what you have said is, your's spotting, the sac isn't round like it should be, and your hcg isn't doubling. I hate to say it but those are all indicators of a non viable pregnancy. But many women have episodes of unexplained bleeding, their levels rise slower, especially in early early pregnancy, and like I said for the sac I'm not to to sure but I believe it should be round and healthy.
Like I just told Deb, it's a very hard thing to go through, if you are indeed miscarrying. But, there could have been something wrong with the baby, and it's a blessing in disguise. And also like I said, it's not like I would not love my child if it had down syndrome, or a heart defect, or anything major. God does things for a reason! And if you are miscarrying, you can always try again, I had 2 miscarriages and have had 2 healthy pregnancies and one on the way again. A lot of women have miscarriages for unexplained reasons, usually do to chromosones. I wish you the best in trying to concieve again if these pregnancies don't make it. I wish I could have had more happy news for you two. Sticky baby dust to you 2****** God Bless You both!!
I just found this thread and thought of posting my query. I have been married for 6 years. For 3 years I was on bcp's and everything went well. After that we decided to stop the pill. We tried for abour 1 year and I got pregnant in Feb,2005. After 6 weeks I had some spotting for 1 week and then had a miscarriage. I didn't take this very seriously as I wasn't aware that I was pregnant and was playing a lot of sports at that time. But just after 4 weeks of my miscarriage my pregnancy symptoms were back and I was pregnant again. This time I took proper care but they couldn't find a heartbeat at week 8 and I miscarried naturally at week 10. After that I had an US to check that everything was OK and it was.. We have been having unprotected sex since during my ovulation and had no luck since.. Now i've found that I'm pregnant again. My LMP was on 18th Jan. Last week I went to visit my Dr and after that visit I had some red bleeding. It was lets say 5-10 drops of blood. After that I was really scared and called the Dr. She then sent me for an US but unfortunately there was no slot available so I had to come back home after 3.5 hours of wait. The bleeding didn't happen since but I've had some dark brown spotting 2-3 times everyday when I wipe. What does this mean? Am I having a miscarriage or I still have a chance.. I'm freaked out. I really want this baby. Now my US is scheduled for tomorrow and I'm really scared. Please pray for me and let me know what should i expect to see at 6 week 3 days... Is there anyone who had similar symptoms and still had a baby?
Many thanks for reading this...
you want to be sure, wait it out, it wont harm you at all!!1
