8 Weeks pregnant Fetus with no heartbeat
My last period was May 29th, which makes me 8 wks pregnant, I'm spotting since saturday a light brown color, I went to the dr on Tuesday July 22 and did a u/s you could see the fetus, but the doctor says there is no heartbeat.
He said to wait that I would eventually miscarriage sometime in the next couple of days. I don't know what to believe, I don't have any cramping only once in a while a little pain. This is my second miscarriage in one year.
I have an appoitment on July 31st, he said if I didn't miscarriage by this day, he will give me something that will make me miscarriage in 24 hrs.
My hubby and I are very upset but optimistic that maybe since I was only 7 weeks the heartbeat will be found in my 8 or 9 week
I don't know if I should tell him that I want another u/s.
Please help me.

Sorry about ur loss the same thing happened to me in 2009 it's hard but it will get better if u need to talk I'm er
i hope you will come back to us and write your findings. my friend is in the same position as you and she's waiting for her ultra sound. she's on pins and needles and hopes for an answer on Thursday.it's her first child and she is 33. we think the doctors have miscalculated the babies age but she too had no heartbeat. thanks.
My story is a little different but kind of the same...
I went in for a scan at around 9weeks on 10/11/12... but my doctor was unable to locate the yolk sac, fetus or a heartbeat... my HCG was around 43,000 and holding steady however so she scheduled me for another u/s 10/17/12... I couldn't wait though and I was scared she wouldn't be able to find it again so I went to my local ER and explained my situation. They did a scan for me and DID locate the fetus and the yolk sac. They measured 12mm, making me only about 8 weeks.. but there still was no heartbeat and no movement...
I have refused to do a D&C or take any sort of medication. Like most of you, I still feel pregnant and have had absolutely no bleeding or cramping of any kind, I still feel like there's a chance for this little one... After all, they couldn't find it and then 5 days later, it appeared in it's gestational sac, just like that! If they had found it before and there was no heartbeat, I might not be so optimistic but now I feel like their dates are way off, and so are mine... after all, there was no place for this little one to hide being as big as it was... even my doctor admits she should have saw SOMETHING but she didn't, so I'm not giving up until I miscarry this child on my own or I prove my doctors wrong!
I have faith that my little one will be moving and I will hear a heartbeat... because another thing, although they say there is no heartbeat, I've watched my scan videos over and over again and in the center of my little one, something is flickering... maybe she didn't think to check for it because my little one wasn't swimming around, but I see hope in this one yet. I have asked for another u/s and will be receiving it 10/24/12

Thank you for your comments.
I am 36. In my 8 weeks my doctor found no heartbeat. Told me that the age of my baby was 9 weeks and 2 days! My d/c is scheduled for tomorrow. I will request another u.s before the surgery. I have no one to talk to.

Well, I just came back from my doctor and I am 8 weeks and a day today. Ultrasound did not show a fetus, nor was there a heartbeat. An hour before I was to be seen by my doctor, I was spotting just a bit. First, I want to say I was scheduled for surgery 7/25/12 to remove my fallopian tubes because I had surgery last October, and when the dye test was done, I did not pass, so my gyno had referred me to a fertility doctor who insisted that I would need invitro treatment and that my tubes needed to be removed. Well, I found out I was pregnant 7/05/12, and now this. I spoke to my huband soon after and he was like, I am convinced you are fine, and my best friend prayed with me. For me, this is heartbreaking, but yet still a part of me feel like my husband and my best friend feel, that this child is ours, and God will see us through. Thanks for your story, as it does give me more hope.
