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.

Hi ladies. My sympathy goes out to all of you. I'm 34 years old. This is my first pregnancy and my husband and I were thoroughly ecstatic. I was devestated yesterday at my 8 week ultrasound to find that, although the sack looked good and there was fetal pole, there was no heartbeat and it was only the size of 6 weeks. From what I have been reading above, there have been a lot of similar stories without one positive outcome. Please someone tell me I am wrong. I go back next Tuesday. This is so devastating. I'm praying for a miracle but need to prepare myself.
