Update - Small Gestational Sac

I just wanted to put out an update to my last question about having your gestational sac measure small.  For those girls who find this on a search, here are the details and I wish you a better outcome then I . . .

TTC'd for 2 years and was scheduled to see an RE
July 15th - BFP
I had about 2 weeks of pregnancy symptoms, just mostly nauseus (sp?) and very tired.  I never had sore boobs or any other symptoms then that.  After that all symptoms went away.  I was concerned enough that I moved the u/s up to 8/6.  There was a hearbeat (133), however I was told my gestational sac measured small.  The baby measured 8.4 mm (6w6D) and the sac meausred 9.5 mm (5w0d).  I was told I had a 50/50 chance of miscarriage.  Tuesday, 8/13 I started spotting brown and had cramping on the left side.  The cramping moved down and towards the middle and was uncomfortable when I stood up or went to the bathroom.

I had my second u/s today.  They could not find the heartbeat and so our chances of having this baby ended.  Because of the spotting I was told I would probably miscarry in the next couple of days.  I was given the choice to let my body do it naturally or go in for a D&C.  Because it is so close to the weekend, I have opted to see if it will happen naturally in the next day.  If not, I am going to schedule the D&C.

I put this post out here, just so people will know my symptoms, but PLEASE do not read too much into yours.  Of all the searches of posts I did on this website, I honestly found more good outcomes then bad.

May all of your pregnancies be happy and healthy.  For me, I will be taking a break for a while.  But I know when we start to TTC again I'll be back on here to visit with all you ladies.  You all have been a comfort through the infertility and last several weeks.  It's a joy to be part of such a loving (and FUNNY) community.

*Hugs*

Awww... I am so sorry to hear about your lose.  I am sure that the RE will be able to help figure out the reason... they are a great help.  Hopefully, whatever the problem is, it is an easy fix.  Good luck and I hope to see you on here again sooner, rather than later :)
