Very worried... need some help

alrighty... here goes... i am supposed to be 10 weeks pregnant. less than a week ago, i passed a small blood clot, but that was it. not real cramping, no other bleeding, thats it. i went to the er to be safe. my hormone levels were fine, but when they did the u/s, they saw the sac but not the baby and my cervix was closed. she said that i could be having a miscarriage but if i was i would bleed more etc. that was 6 days ago and i have had no pain or bleeding. i do have my first appt wednesday, but i just wanted some advice to calm my nerves.  i thought that at 10 weeks (9 at the time) you could definitly see a baby? i dont know im very confused to the whole situation.  everything looked fine but they couldnt see the baby. and my cervix was closed so nothing could really pass out. has anyone gone through this situation?

i would say you are still pregnant, when i miscarried at 6 weeks i bled alot like a very heavy period with cramping and passed a fairly large clot into the toilet, it could be you ovulated later than normal and not as far along as you think maybe thats why the baby couldnt be seen, if you have had no more bleeding or any cramping try and stay positive (hard i know)
good luck!

thanks for the encouragement. i just find it weird b/c they said the sac was the right size for 9 weeks at the time.

could the yolk sca be seen on the scan? that is usually a very good sign that everything is ok, that was all that could be seen on my dd scan at nearly 7 weeks, a weeks later there was her hb, the sonographer that did the scan with that preg told me babys hb cannot be seen when they are less than 7mm in length, remmeber you still have a grain of rice in your stomach at the moment and there are many reasons why the hb and baby wont have been seen, there have been women who have posted and had good news at 10 or 11 weeks, so like i say try not to worry :)

sorry meant to say yolk sac

[freeky4_soad]

yes it was seen. but that was all. just the sac but nothing else and the sac measured at 9 weeks 1 day at the time.

If you haven't had anymore bleeding, that's a good sign.  Is it possible your dates are off and you're not 9 or 10 weeks?  Could you be earlier, like 6 or 7?  Did they do a transvanginal ultrasound?  I ask because if they didn't, it's definitely harder to see everything in there.  I had a vaginal ultrasound done at 7wks and again at 9wks and both times saw a baby and heartbeat.  I know it's tough, but wait and see.  You may need another week or two.
