Confused....help!

[Lucyh444]

I went into hospital 11 days ago due to brown spotting thinking I was 10.5 weeks pregnant.  I was told that the baby wasn't showing at 10.5 weeks and I should await to miscarry, however was booked in for another scan a week later.  A few days later I started to bleed so assumed it was happening and I was miscarrying but still went infor my scan.  At the next scan I was told there was no change with the sac size and was booked in for a D&C and scan which was today.  My bleeding stopped yesterday, so lasted a week and turnt up today for my D&C.  I had the scan first thing this morning to check if the D&C was needed and they were shocked, the lady that scanned me said that there had been growth from 9mm-17mm since my first scan 11 days ago and they could not go ahead with the D&C although there was no heartbeat.  I waited to see the doctor and he was still quite negative and said I was probably still going to miscarry and he advised I still go ahead with the D&C.  The conflicting information I was getting was so confusing.  I have now decided to wait a week for another scan, I'm am not going to get my hopes up,  I had assumed the bleeding was the start of my miscarriage and cried everyday.  I was quite sure my dates were correct, but even if the sac is growing the size still isn't what it should be so maybe I'm wrong or just delaying the D&C?! Has anyone else gone through this?

Really it's horrible, no one has ever mentioned to me about my HCG levels.  After all the bleeding I assumed that was it and I'd misscarried, to hear the sac was still in there and the d&c wud go ahead was fine I guess, I'd got used to the idea as much as you can that it was all over. So confusing that I was told by the scan lady the sac had grown. I'll let you know how I get on, keep me posted too.

Wow I'm really srry ur goin thru that. And ur not alone. I'm suppose to be 8w5d yesterday and I had some brown spotting I went to the ER and they said I'm onnly measuring 5w5d I hope I just ovulated late and the dates r wrong they want me to check my HCG again tmro and follow up to schedule a D&C. :( update me on what happens. Good Luck. :) Think positive

I would also have waited because if not u would always second guess and what if .  Hopefully you oed late or implanted late.  Sorry your dealing with this and best of luck.

I'm really sorry you are going thru all this.  I've had m/c's and with one I had to have a D&C, but my experience wasn't like what you are going thru...mine was more definitive with no growth and no heartbeat.

I think I would have done just as you did with putting the D&C off for another week.  It's possible that maybe your dates are off a bit or that you ovulated later in your cycle. Anything is possible. Personally, I would never have a D&C, or any procedure, unless I was absolutely comfortable making that decision.  I don't know if you will eventually m/c or not (I certainly hope not), so at this point  not getting your hopes up is probably a good idea.  I'll be thinking of you and please let us know how it goes.  tc
