no fetal pole, some cramping

[MandyR92983]

I'm 22 and I have a history of miscarriages. Four to be exact, I'm pregnant again (LMP 02-16-06) and I had a little spotting and sharp pains, I went to the ER and they did an ultrasound, the dr told me I was only 5 weeks instead of 7, my hormone level was 8100.  There was no fetal pole just a yolk sac, the dr said it's possible the egg was fertilized, just with no DNA and i could miscarry. I'm back home, and having abdominal cramps. I need some comfort.

I know exactly how you feel. I am 25 yrs old & got married 12/10/05 I got my AF 12/14/05. My husband & I found out I was pregnant 1/7/06. I was so excited, I scheduled my doctors appt @ 8 wks. I went in eagerly waiting to see the tiny HB but all the doctor saw was the yolk & sac he told me that I was reading 5 wks & 2 days I knew he was wrong from my LMP. He was a real jerk to me & told me that I probably was going to mc. I started crying and he told me not to cry to wait till next week. I ended up changing doctors & the new one ordered blood work & an u/s.  I ended up needing a d/c which was performed 3/1/06 for a blighted ovum ( I was told that the fetus never developed). I was devestated. I just got my AF 4/6/06 & we are going TTC again. I was blessed with the chance to conceive quickly and I know that God does things for a reason. Try to be strong, and see if your doctor can order some more blood work in a couple of days to check your levels if they are multiplying. Try to rest and put your feet up that helped me with the cramping. Lots of BABY DUST TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though my situation was a bit different I do know the sick feelings and the heart plumeting that happens when they tell you your baby is not alive.  I had a stillborn at 26 weeks, and it still hurts me to think about it somedays. It has been about 6 months for me now.  But I can still remember seeing my ultasound and the baby didn't have a heart pulse like my first son did.

I am so sorry for all your losses. My one m/c was devastating enough I just couldn't imagine having several. I would find a doctor who will run the appropriate tests to determine why you keep having miscarriages. The good thing is that you are able to conceive and most often the cause of repeated m/c can be quite easily treated. Very best of luck.

I think it's stupid too, that they make you wait until you have had at least three before they decide something is wrong.  Doctors now a days can be more trouble then any other medical person out there.  They think they are god and they are not!

Hi there - same happened to me, I was certain I was 6 weeks pregnant and sac was only size of 5 weeks, no fetal pole, no heartbeat. I was feeling sick but I'm just not sure now. Back on Wednesday for another u/s but I'm not hopeful. Good to share worries, hope all out there are OK

I feel like I'm waiting at the edge of a cliff, will I m/c or not?  I want a baby so bad, but it's just not working.

I am in a similar situation. LMP 1/13 no AF since. Had some brown spotting and cramping so I thought she was coming! Decided to POAS 4/4 BFP! Quite a surprise since DD was with Clomid in 2004. First u/s 4/5 only yolk sac but decent levels on progestrone and HGC. Doc put me on progestrone supplementals. Second u/s vaginal 4/11 only yolk sac and better levels. Third u/s vaginal 4/18 same results better levels. This is driving me nuts. Next vaginal u/s 4/25. If no fetal pole doc may recommend d&c. Part of me wants to wait two weeks! Either I have ovulated in late March or my body hasn't realized I m/c. I really know this is a blessing but am frightened that there will not be a fetal pole...

Has anyone had any luck with getting a normal fetal pole after 6.5 weeks? I have a nornal gestational sac and a yolk sac. So blighted ovum is out od the question as well as ectopic. My Beta HCG is going up. However I should have a fetal pole by now. Everyone is telling me not to worry but I am going nuts. I am scared that my mood will cause more probelms. Does anyone one have any insight?
