Possible miscarriage

[Eileen4055]

My quant results from my first set on Tuesday matched up to my stage of
development almost perfectly. If not on the higher side 48,000.

They said I was 6.2 weeks then, but still NO FETAL HEARTBEAT on a transvaginal scan.

Is it possible that it was just too soon to see it???

We couldn't go by the first day of my last period because I had come off the Mirena IUD back in February and my cycles were all over the place.

Based on my period I should have been 8 weeks 4 days, and I showed 6 weeks 2 days. -Way off from the original estimation. BUT I didn't find out that I was pregnant until Mother's Day -May 9th, which was only 4 1/2 weeks, making this is a very realistic calculation.

Is it possible that the baby would not have had a heartbeat detectable at 6.2 weeks??? What is the average range for detecting a heartbeat on these machines???

Please help!

sometime having US means nothing.I 've had my first US on at week 8 and they said everythinks looks perfect measuring 8wks 3days...and then I went to another US at week 11.They said the babies heart had stopped at when it was 8 wks 4 days which was next day after my first US.....

good luck.....

Well, they had my original due date way off and I personally thought that I was a week behind that. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I was off by a little over '2' weeks. But it all makes perfect sense now.

The reason for my post is because they told me that the baby was gone. I was going to have to plan for a D&C sometime next week. The doctor was not at all optimistic. Later, she found out when I had finally tested positive and put two and two together that I was more like 6 weeks the other day.

I am not so ready to celebrate just yet. Only because I did see my daughter's heartbeat at 6.1 weeks, while this baby was perfect and looked perfect for that gestational age, minus a beating heart. Tomorrow will tell all. If my numbers drop, we'll know. If they double and go up, the baby should have a heartbeat and be viable after all.

I have been in a deep depression for two straight days. I haven't slept a wink... This gives me so much hope. This is also my last baby and we planned it for over a year. It took a while to get pregnant and I was devastated to learn that we may have lost it.

We'll learn more tomorrow. I hope and pray it's good news. We could sure use some right about now. WHAT A WEEK THIS HAS BEEN!

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!  : )   ~Eileen

I'm sorry this is so stressful.
My first US was at 6w2d and they warned me before the scan that we may not see a HB. We did however, but that didn't mean anything because I had a miscarriage later. What I mean is, it is possible that everything is ok, so don't give up yet, no matter what you see it doesn't mean it's over. They should be able to know more in a week or so. Good luck and keep me posted on what is happening.
