8 Weeks pregnant Fetus with no heartbeat

[ourporsche]

My last period was May 29th, which makes me 8 wks pregnant, I'm spotting since saturday a light brown color, I went to the dr on Tuesday July 22 and did a u/s you could see the fetus, but the doctor says there is no heartbeat.  

He said to wait that I would eventually miscarriage sometime in the next couple of days. I don't know what to believe, I don't have any cramping only once in a while a little pain. This is my second miscarriage in one year.

I have an appoitment on July 31st, he said if I didn't miscarriage by this day, he will give me something that will make me miscarriage in 24 hrs.

My hubby and I are very upset but optimistic that maybe since I was only 7 weeks the heartbeat will be found in my 8 or 9 week


I don't know if I should tell him that I want another u/s.

Please help me.

Im not sure how pregnant i am. I still have not seen my primary doctor just nurses. Ive been bleeding for about 5 days (spotting) and its very stressful. I went to go see an on call Doctor and i was told it looks like im in the process of a miscarriage. But what confused me was, i had a pap smear and had sexual intercourse the day after and thats when the bleeding started. So what im trying to understand why was a miscarriage the direct answer instead of looking more into my family history and mine bc my mother bled with both of her children. So can somebody help me out

I had my 1st US at 7wks. I was so excited. I am 30 and have been wanting to be a mommy fo rso long. Then the terrible news came; there was no heartbeat, the Dr said he did not see a Yolk sac and that I had a pool of blood outside of my uterus. The fetus only measure 6wks/2days. I was devestated, and clinking back tears I tried to remain calm. I thought maybe it's too early, but the Dr said a heartbeat should still be detectable. He said I was going to miscarry. I am praying he's wrong, but sadly I think he's right. This has been the longest hardest week and I am dreading my 2nd follow-up US this week (when I should be 8wks). If the results are the same I am faced with letting the miscarriage occur naturally or having a D&C. He said due to how far along I am I may not pass everything and they would still have to do a D&C, I don't know what to do. What is the best option?

Hi, I went in for an ultrasound and they had to do an vaginal ultrasound they saw the fetus but heard no heartbeat, one dr said it looked like I was about 6 to 7 weeks but my dr. Said how small my uterus was it looked like I was 9 weeks. The dr. Said it looks like this pregnancyy wouldn't proceed so I got options to take medicine to make. The miscarrage proceed or a d/c I chose the meds but my hubby said I should just see if my body pushes it out and he thinks they just couldn't see the heartbeat and the baby might be ok what to do???

I am 8 weeks pregnant and today i had an u/s and they found no heartbeat and the fetal was measuring 5 weeks. i have been experiencing some bleeding but not to the point were it soaks my underwear, just spotting brown blood, bright pink blood, and red.  This has gone on and off for 4 days now.  The doctor did a blood test on me but i get the results tomorrow,  I am hoping and praying that God fully restores my baby and gives this little guy another chance to live.

I was so sad reading your story, actually reading all the stories here. I wish everyone had happy and healthy pregnancy. Miscarriage is such a terrible experience. I had two of them, thankfully after the second one I had a successful pregnancy. I waited whole year before I got pregnant again. Actually I was trying to get pregnant but my body said NO! Both my miscarriages were horrible. First one I started bleeding but before that I had a horrible pain in my stomach for just a minute. I went to work and felt like i couldn't stop peeing. It was my waters I think. Both times I miscarried at 10 weeks. When I started heavy bleeding I went to the emergency room and they did ultrasound. The baby was still alive and moving. The Dr said, what a shame! it was the most horrible thing they could've done to me. My body was rejecting this healthy precious baby and they couldn't stop it :-(

My second miscarriage I also experience sharp pain in my stomach. After that I started having contractions as if I was in labor. It was horrible. It lasted for many hours but no bleeding. Finally I decided to go to the hospital because the pain was unberrable. By the time I got there i was passing blood cloths. The Dr. immediately did D&C without US. She tested the tissue but said there was nothing abnormal in the test results. Somehow my body rejected these beautiful babies. For the longest time I couldn't get myself together. My friends who were pregnant would remind me of my tragedy and i was very depressed. I tried to explain it to myself that it wasn't  meant to be. We were planning for these pregnancies, we wanted to have a boy. I started praying to God so that he would just give me another chance. I wanted my only daughter to have a sister or brother, someone she could turn to in need. I finally did get pregnant. Had a beautiful baby girl <3 and guess what, now I am pregnant again!!! With twins <3 God returned my lost babies to me. Anyways, that's what I want to believe. I prayed a lot for them! I hope they are born healthy and happy! I still miss my lost children, my little angels. I think, they will never leave my thoughts. But I get to be a mom again and I wish everyone this wonderful precious gift of motherhood <3<3<3

I have the same situation - no heartbeat detected at 7 weeks US scan and the US technician said it was not a viable one. I'm very upset and I told her that I had a tilted uterus...which usually make it harder to detect hb at early stage. Anyway, I just want everyone to keep the hope up and here is what I found a very informative website about misdiagnosed miscarriage: http://www.misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com/blightedovum.html
Good luck to everyone of us! God bless!
