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 guess it could be possible..anything is. I was on Yaz from nov to april. I quit takin it april 2 and started my period the 5th of april(meant to fix that in my first post and forgot) the estimated date of conception was the 12-16th of april. I 2 hpt a week b/f my period was due in may but both were -. I took one the 3rd of may and it was +!  2 days later it burned when I peed and I went to the er and they tested my urine for UTI and said Hcg was detected.  I haven't had anything done with drs since b/c of our move. I wonder about location of placenta too! but even if I did lose the first one (even though I never spotted or bleed it could be coming out now I guess) and then reconcieved...what would make my levels be dropping? BTW I got all the numbers from my dr the other day and she said they are very low  for where I should be but are fine if I was only 7 wks but they are dropping and that's not good. the 13th they were 8,572--the 15-5,358--then the 17-3,769. I don't know what's happening! I just keep praying!

I had alot of the same problems you are having, but I had them very early on, at 6 weeks.  I had a light but continuous brown spotting and I asked for them to check me to either reasure me or prepare me for a m/c.  The Dr. did a sonagram and only saw the lining of my uterus, needless to say I was not reasured.  They did blood work that day and the day after and found my levels were low but rising so I was prescribed Progesteron supplement.  I went back at 6w6d for an U/S with the Tech and she found the baby very easily and told me my uterus was tilted pretty far forward and the Dr. could have missed it with the older equipment she was using,
So, my thoughts being that the sac was measuring 7w is it possible you either had a false positive in May or possibly miscarried very early, and then got pregnant in June?

still having some brown spotting today but nothing serious and not cramping or pain. I go tomorrow to get a referral for a second opinon to see what another dr thinks. I'm not giving up yet!!!!

Umm...yeah...I don't know what the heck is happening! So I haven't seen anything since yesterday afternoon til today around 3. I went to the bathroom and it very obvious brown discharge. It went on for about an hour, just like the last day of your period, then bam it was gone. I've had no cramping or anything. I don't know if this is the start of it all and it's just slow and steady or what. I called L&D and told the nurse the whole situation and how I 'feel' something moving and she said she doesn't think I am crazy and I can go to the ER or go to the OB sick call monday morning and tell them I would like another u/s b/c something just isn't feeling right. She said even though she believes it will end in miscarriage due to my hcg levels dropping, she also believes in miracles and the power of prayer. I called the ER and they said they had been slammed for the last few hours and had no idea how long I'd be waiting. So we are going to go monday morning. I'm to the point now where, "whatever happens, happens" I can't control it either way. I just pray that if it's the worse, I don't have to have a D&C done but that my body will do what it's suppose to do on its own! Thank you all for your prayers and kind words.

Hold on alittle longer, i know this must be tough. Def make sure the doctors you are seeing are really experienced and make them answer all your questions. If this does not work out, you need to be strong so you can try again and concentrate on that. MC are so common it is not even funny, u are not alone, Good luck. And im sorry you have to go through this, please let me know if you need any one to talk to and let me know how things turn out, and be strong, it will happ for you when the time is right. Things like this just happ....

Ok so now that I know my numbers are falling I'm always expecting the miscarriage to take place everytime I use the rest room. At around 1 or so I went and noticed very faint brown spotting, that only lasted about 2 hrs. Now there is nothing. I don't have cramps or anything that is a sign of miscarriage. I don't know what's going on and I would love for all of this to turn around and there still be afetus in there that is thriving and healthy but if that's not the case I wish this whole thing would hurry and start b/c the wait is emotionally draining. I refuse to have any meds to help it along or a D&C. I would prefer my body do it naturally which I know inturn means...WAIT and see! No matter how much it may seem that the worst will happen, I am still holding on to that little MUSTARD SEED of Faith!
