14 weeks and no fetus

[hoping4number3]

On 3May2009 we found out we are expecting out 3rd child--4wks preg! Very excited. My hubby is military and we were 3 wks away from PCSing (moving to another military post) and the hospital where we were couldn't get me in for a check up til 9June. I would obviously be moved by then. They told me to wait til I got to my new post and get seen then. They gave me prenatal vits. So we got moved and I got an appt......not til 13July--14 wks preg!! I was upset it was going to take so long but there was nothing I could do. So I went in for my check up and had the normal pap done and the dr checked for the heart beat, and couldn't find it. They did an u/s and said I had a tilted uterus (which I didn't have with my other 2 kids--now 4 and 2). During the u/s they only saw a sac and no baby. they said the sac was measuring 7 wks? I don't understand at all...LMP 3April2009. I have had no bleeding, no cramping. I have outgrown my clothes and every possible preg symptom. I had my HcG levels checked on the 13th and then today. I was told they had dropped but don't know the numbers. I was told my body would expell or naturally miscarry in 2 wks. Is there any hope? She said I had what's called a blighted ovum. Has anyone else heard of this or had a good outcome? We are going in friday to test HcG again and then getting a second opinon later on. I am praying and holding on to a little bit of hope. Any info is appreciated! BTW--I am Rh- and I don't know if that has anything to do with my HcG levels or not. Thank you all!

I am so sorry for you loss. I now know how hard it is! I carried for 7 wks with no signs of misscarriage either. It's nice to know I am not alone b/c I thought my drs where crazy when they told me it happens more often than I think. I pray I don't need anything to aid this along and my body will do it naturally. I do have a personal question though to any who could be of help...this might sound nasty but I don't know how else to put it.....since it took so long for the process to start, could my body have started breakin down all the tissue of the fetus and the lining of the sac and uterus?? I ask this b/c I bleed lightly and the "tissue" looks like finely chopped meat. I've had very few clots or pieces of tissue and don't know if I should expect to see that soon (i've only been bleeding since sunday night) or it this is just how my body is "doing it's job".

Ps....Thank you for your previous service for our freedom. I grew up with a dad in the airforce and am married to the army so I greatly respect anyone who puts their life on the line for me and my kids to be safe!

i am so sorry. when i had my miscariage i had started spotting on a monday and when i had an ultrasound on that wednesday, they clearly saw the baby but there was no movement or heartbeat. i was 16 weeks but the baby had measured only 9 weeks. i had carried the baby for 7 weeks with no spotting, no pain, no signs of a miscariage at all. i had to take medicine to aid along the process... you will be in my prayers, remember, God will get you through this.

p.s. thank you for your family's service to our contry. my husband and i both served overseas in combat. thank you

I went to the dr yesterday for my appt where I was going to get a referral for a sec opinon but instead was told that if the bleeding has begun that the misscarriage is taken place! It was upsetting to hear but I had already been dealing with it for a week and have come to peace with it all! I got my rhogam shot yesterday and have to go back in 2 wks for a follow up appt. Thank you all for your prayers. Even though I hurt I know God is taking care of me!

ok at 8pm last night I went to the bathroom and there was red blood! it wasn't alot but kinda like your 2nd or 3rd day of menstration. I was devasted thinking this is it, it's over and i'm going to pass it all. nothing else happened last night and this morning my pad was clean (sorry if TMI). I went the bathroom and very faint blood was there. about an hour ago I went and there was more blood. It's not flowing out like I've read it does so maybe my body's handling it differently. Im not sure but I left a msg for my dr to call me so i can talk to her about it and see what she thinks. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts!
