Was told I'm having a miscarriage

Question

So I went for an ultrasound Thursday the 31st. And the people at the hospital told my doctor that they think I'm having a miscarriage. Because I'm 6 half weeks pregnant and I'm spotting. So for the past 4 days I don't know what to think. My spotting has stopped so I'm still thinking that I'm pregnant. When they did the ultrasound they only saw a sac no baby developing. So I go back tomorrow for an other ultrasound that my OWN doctor is going to do. I'm praying that they will find a heartbeat this time. I don't want to lose this baby.

I'm so sorry to hear that you are going though the same thing. I'm getting my d & c done tomorrow and I'm so scared. I've never had surgery in my life. And now it's for something that I want,(like how I want this baby so badly) something that I can't live without. And my hormone levels are dropping too.

we both had bad ultra sounds on the same day.  I had a miscarriage back in oct and i am again having another one so i know just how you feel.  I also had the bad US on 1/31 when we found an empty sac.  I go in for one more ultrasound to tomorrow but my hcg levels have dropped, so i am expecting the worse again.  I had a d and c in oct and it was not so bad but i am just worried to have another one but i want them to run testing on the tissue and see why it happened again and that is the easist way to get the tissue.  I am very sorry that you have to go through this, it is so hard and nothing aanyone says will make it feel better.  Just do things you enjoy and remember that we both had no problems getting pregnant so it will happen again and we will both have healthy pregnancies.

Awww I'm really sorry to hear that. I'm am VERY upset about this M/C BUT I'm very happy about my wedding It's in less then two months. I CAN'T wait to be married. BUT we are going to wait and try again after we are married. And I'm kinda happy I get to have a good time and drink alittle. But really I'm sorry about your m/c have you tried again? I'm scared to, to tell you the truth. I don't want it to happen again.

you might consider this rude or crazy, but i mean it in the best intentions... i got pregnant a month before my wedding and on my wedding day i was 8 weeks pregnant.. not only was i a swollen apple and barely fit into my dress.. i spent the entire day in the ER!! seriously, i was there from 6am to about 2:30. (i have hyperemesis, which is extreme vomiting and diarrhea)  my wedding was supposed to start at 3 and i didn't get there until about 4 or 4:30... i probably shouldn't have even gone to the wedding, but the ob pumped me with anti nausea and pain relief and sent me on my way, welcoming me back later if i needed it.

so maybe your m/c, as unfortunate as it is, (i know i've had one) will allow you to have a great time at your wedding and even remember it, because i don't remember mine :(

Gina-I know what you mean. I'm getting a d & c on Thursday. I just want to be done with it and move on. So we can try again, but we are getting married in exacly two months from today so I still have alot of planning to do. So after we get married we are going to try again. I'm just scared they I'm going to have another one. But I have to think positive and pray.

Well I M/C naturally in November of 2007 and my Doc said when my levels are back down to 0 we can try if we're emotionally and phyiscally ready too. So...I just felt so empty...being pregnant one moment and not the next, I just wanted to be pregnant so bad. I couldn't stand the thought of not having a baby inside me. I just wanted to conceive again so quickly...almost like my M/C didn't happen. So we tried and tried in December and ended up not Pregnant. So I just realized that is was starting to take over my life and that was all I was thinking about....so we slowed down for January...but than as soon as my Period was late, my hopes got up. Eventually I got my Period (only for 2 days which was strange) and now hubby & I just decided that we're going to wait a little bit. As much as we want a baby so badly...we just want my body to heal and get back on track, we need to get our emotions straight too...there's a lot of stuff going on right now, so we figure if we wait it will be better for us and the baby. It's so hard though because we wanted to be parents years ago. It's just a heart breaking experience..I can't help but everyday wake up and think to myself, I should be 5 months pregnant right now. Time does heal, but it still breaks my heart.

dsybahena-thank you very much. It's very hard to go through. Expectually when it's something you want so badly. I'm so scared to get pregnant again because I don't want to miscarry again. I'm deadly afraid to get a d & c but it's something I have to do. My fiance & mom are going to come with me. BUT I'm praying that my hormone levels go up on wednesday then I won't have to get one. thanks again though.

DSYBAHENA · Answer

I am sorry. I know what you are feeling the same thing happen to me. I was a little but further then you. My first loss they had seen a sac but no baby and obviously no hearbeat. At first there was no bleeding then I started to bleed but it didn't stop. I had to have a d&c the worst feeling ever not because you are physically in pain but emotionally. My secong lost I was like 3 weeks pregnant I started to spott and went for an ultrasound but this time no sac. And my hcg were dropping then they went then they dropped I had a natural misscariage. Both pregnancy's I couldn't believe it myself as much as doctor told me I didn't want to go thru the d&c. I wish you the best and hope everything gets well. My first misscariage was in Feb. 2007 then got pregnant again and misscaried in July 2007. 3 months later I got pregnant again and now I am 20 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby boy.

gina-thank you very much, I was deadly afraid I was going to have a  miscarriage. I don't want it to happen but I can't control it. How long did you wait to try again?

Gina209 · Answer

Aww Sweetie I'm so sorry. I had the exact same thing happen to me. I started spotting and a couple days later it turned to blood. I did end up miscarrying...and it was heart breaking. When I went into my U/S they too only saw a sac...it was really difficult because my entire Pregnancy everything felt fine and I never even thought of miscarrying. Just know that we're all here for you and some things are just beyond our control...let us know if you need anything, again I am truly sorry.

Itlyncutie87 · Answer

The appt was bad. They did another ultrasound and still only saw a sac. NO heartbeat still and the sac is lower than before. So they want me to get more blood work wed. and then if my levels don't go up they are going to do a d & c thursday I'm so scared :(

MelliMel18 · Answer

Hey there, i wish you lots of luck and hope things work out. I have gone thru something similar. I lost my baby at 8 weeks. I started spotting, for a couple days, then i got bright red. I was indeed miscarrying. Have you gotten your levels checked? If they are doubling every few days, then there is still a good chance you are still pregnant. With me, my levels were dropping. Please be strong and be positive, if this is a miscarrige, god forbid, know you didnt do anything wrong. It was probably for the best, and be thankful it happend now then further down the road when the baby was more developed.Good luck sweetie.

nadia77-Yes I still have all my symptoms that I've had since I found out I was pregnant. I sure hope they can find the heartbeat tomorrow when I go. Praying for the best.


Thank you ladies I hope everything goes great tomorrow!

Itlyncutie87 · Answer

well i just went to the bathroom and there is more spotting but it's like red now. I don't want this to happen! But I've heard of people getting there period when they are pregnant. And my doctor told me that my hormone levels aren't going up like they should so they have me on medication for that. But I guess it's not helping : ( 
I wish it was tomorrow at this time because I would know for sure. I hope we see the heartbeat tomorrow. I will be 7weeks 2days.

Nadia77 · Answer
