How did you determine that you were 8 weeks? It is very possible for someone to think that they are further along than they really are. With my first son, I ovulated later than the doctor thought so when I went for my first ultrasound they couldn't find a heartbeat and my numbers were low. I went back a week later and there was a heartbeat. My son was perfectly fine. When are you supposed to go back to the doctor? When I had my miscarriage we saw a heartbeat first then saw nothing the next time. Do your best to relax (like that's possible). Take care of yourself.
I am so sorry!! But if there is no heart beat, I really don't think there can be much hope. Pregnancies end for so many reasons, most are due to things we have absolutely no control over. I know that doesn't make the pain of a loss any easier.
Hi. I was 10 weeks pregnant when I went to the doctor and they couldn't find the heartbeat. I wasn't bleeding, spotting, cramping or anything. I had to have a D & C. If there isn't a heartbeat detected on the ultrasound then there probably isn't one. They can see a heartbeat as early as 6 weeks. I now have a one month old daughter and I saw her heartbeat at 8 weeks. Best of luck to you.
