Has this happen to anyone else

I went to the doctor on Monday and we had an ultrasound with a gestational sac and a yolk sac but nothing else. The sac measured 7.1 and the doctor wants to go ahead with a D&C on next week. Super sad this is the second miscarriage in 3 months. So now I'm looking for a high risk ob because we really want another child and hopefully in another six months I will have a viable pregnancy.

I agree with Michele it is very possible it was too early. We had a scan with our last baby around that time and didn't see the HB yet, went back a week later and there was baby with a Hb. He's 2 years old now!

Very possible to not see heartbeat yet.  I too would wait on the D&C.  Could def be too early to see anything yet.

Thanks Ladies for the responses. My progestrone is rising perfectly, I work in the er and had it test last night. June 6th it was 75; June 13th it was over 900; last night it was 19960; I'm trying to keep hope alive because the doc based this on not seeing a heartbeat last week and I was 6 weeks and 4days

I have had a nonviable pregnancy and a D&C. My HCG levels did not go up as fast as they should and each week we did an U/S there reached a time where it stopped growing and we knew it was really a no go when a HB never showed up at 6-7-8 weeks, i may have even been a week or two further then that. I knew he was right even though i didnt want him to be when even i could see nothing was happening, eventually I signed up for the D&C since my body didnt seem to want to do it on its own and I knew 100% it wasnt viable. Plus i wasnt willing to wait another week/s waiting and waiting after I had already been waiting and going to numberous appintments every week for like 6 weeks.
I would suggest having the Dr. send the tissue to the lab. My Dr. took a sample from the surgery and sent it out and they were able to tell us there was a chromosomal abnormality so that was mostly likely the reason for the M/C (its the case in about 60% of m/c) with this info. my Dr. does not see a reason to run further tests on me at this time. I had the M/C May 6th--was actually not that bad, was quick and almost pain free. I got my period June 7th and Ovulated i think on monday, so now we are back to TTC.
I wish you the best of luck and hope all goes well and you are able to figure this out!

How far along are you suppose to be? Has your doctor done any blood tests to check your hCG levels to see if they are rising or falling? I would wait on the D&C there are lots of women who were told they were miscarrying and needed a D&C and it turns out the next week at an ultrasound there is a baby and heartbeat. Speak to your doctor about doing bloods and at least another ultrasound.
