Ultrasound/Help!!

[Babybaw4]

Hi Everyone, I had went for my ultrasound yesterday. Seems like I get one every damn tuesday, I am 9-weeks but problem is my Ob didnt see much on the screen. Baby still measures 6.5cm and hasnt  grown, she thinks that the baby stopped growing :( I was so upset yesterday, I had to get more blood work to check my HCG levels and she will call me today and wants to see me next week for another ultrasound. And if the baby isnt growing then I assume she will have to do a D&C, she did say she didnt want to give me that news but its just not developing what she had hoped. And before gone to her my fertility was having the same issue, but gave it some time and then a fetus. Anyone had this happen? I called into work today cause I feel so down and out, but I know its nature and unsure why and the answers arent definate, but I dont feel cramping or bleeding as a matter of fact I dont feel pregnant at all.. THanks much

I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through, and it brings back painful memories of my mc last August.  I started spotting at 10 weeks, went to the ER (doc's office was closed and I was freaking), had a US and was told "are you sure you're 10 weeks? you're measuring more like 6"?  Then had an internal US that confirmed a blighted ovum.  I elected to have a natural mc - no D&C - like you, for the closure.  It didn't happen for another 2 1/2 weeks!  From the spotting that prompted me to go to the ER to the time I finally started the mc over 2 weeks later, I had no spotting.  Once the mc started, it was fast - I started feeling intense cramping, then quickly started heavy, heavy bleeding.  I actually lost so much blood I got lightheaded and my husband freaked out and called an ambulance.  Of course, by the time the ambulance got there I was fine and the mc was over - very light spotting from that point on.  Worst part of the whole story is that 13 months later I am still not pg :(  Just got AF today in fact.

Best of luck to you.  Take care.

You are so brave!  I hope this was just some weird scare and you're okay.

[Babybaw4]

Thanks for the support. I didnt bleed at all throughout the night. I nstead of staying at all and worrying I am just going to go to work and if anything happens then I'll leave

[Houston79]

Oh! I'm so sorry you are going through this!  I remember miscarrying and it was so scary seeing that blood!  I hope your night is not physically painful and you make it through okay.  I'm so sorry.  My m/c was not painful at all-I just bled for a few days and it was lighter than AF.  Maybe you won't have pain either.  I'll be praying for you during this time!  Hugs...

Thanks for the support. I have no cramping and your right I have been hearing bad news for 9-weeks, I havent veen got excited as I hear so much bad. We seen the heartbeat at 7.5 weeks and then my first OB appointment nothing measuring the same. I would want to do it naturally just get it over with the emotional pain is worse then physical. I just read these responses and cry the support is amazing but its tough. I just have to watch myself for the night. I seriously feel like my period is comeing I dont get any cramps at all but I will have to poo and my  head will get all light headed and warm which is now :( I will wait and see what happens. I am sorry for what you had to go through

[Babybaw4]

Thanks for your response. Just about 10-mins ago I had went to the bathroom as I felt wetness in my underwear and had to poo (Sorry to be so graphic) my cat hasnt left my side for the last 1/2 hr he is laying his head on the damn keyboard so maybe he knows.. Anyways I just went to the bathroom and have red blood :( I called my husband right away so he is on stand by my doc said to watch myself overnight and if any pain or more bleeding to call her back and she will meet me at the ER! I am so scared and just dont know what to do.. I just have to wait and see what happens!

Hello girls::   i'm so so sorry to hear that yall are going through this!     I had a blighted ovum back in july.. and we never saw the heartbeat.. : (    went in to see it and it wasn't there and no fetal pole either... told we had a 1% chance of this being a successful pregnancy (we needed a serious miracle!) well after 10 days nothing had happened, and my preg symptoms kept getting worse. urinating constantly, sore boobs and SERIOUS morning sickness (alll day sickness, i coud'nt keep anything down, was SO sick!) well it was making me crazy having those symptoms and being told our pregnancy was not viable.. so i went back in 10 days later (my RE wanted me to mc naturally, thought my body should take care of it on its own, and i agreed) i just had to know what was going on .. well everything had been growing - the placenta and gestational sac, but still no baby.. so officially it was a blighted ovum.. still no sign of mc though... it took a little over 3 weeks to start spotting... started for a couple of days then serious back ache and thats when the mc started finally
    I was so happy to finally be getting this over with, I many times i wished i had a D&C since the waiting drove me nearly mad!  but i felt i needed the painful, emotional closure of an actual miscarriage for some reason (not sure i'd do it again though).. I didn't take any meds.. but the cramping was pretty severe.. i DEFINTELY recommend pain meds from your dr - vicoden or something to help if it does happen..
  My prayers are with you both! I know what a hard time this is, and woudlnt' wish it upon anyone in the world!   I"m very sorry!

Don't worry about asking questions, that's why we are all on here, to get support and help each other.  I feel crappy. I am sad and so frustrated!! I felt so nervous and uneasy about this pregnancy from the beginning. But then I saw the heartbeat at 7 weeks and felt a little better.  At the 9week ultrasound I could see there was no heartbeat even before the doctor said "well, looks like things have gone bad".  He told me my options at that time were to have a d&c or wait to miscarry  on my own.  While it has been 2 1/2 weeks and I wasn't doing anything on my own yet. So I went in monday for another ultrasound, and nothing has changed. So i said I please want this over now! He said there is medication (cytotec) that I can take and it should induce the miscarriage, and if it doesn't work I will have a d&c.  I take the medication tomorrow.  I am spotting a tiny bit today on my own, so hopefully the medication will work and make it all come out.  I am not in any pain now, but other people have said this medication makes you have terrible cramps and is painful.  Did you still see a heartbeat, or was there none?. . .  If you are not bleeding or in any pain you have time to think about what you want to do and to figure out exactly what is happening! You do not have to decide anything right now! It is very emotional and confusing!  I will keep checking to see what you post and see what happens! Again I am so sorry!

Really? I am so sorry, I am so afraid at the same time, unsure what wil happen and my damn OB's office is closed so all day I have waited and nothing. So I just wait until tomorrow and see what they are, to be honest I am exausted one ultraouns after another and there is more to come as well as beta testing. All the trying and to find out this.. May I ask how do you feel? Emotionally physically? What option did they give you? Your taking pills? I am so scared of what will happen :( Do you feel any pain I mean does it hurt. I am sorry to ask you qiestions like this I am sure that is not something you want to answer, but I am new to this and dont want to believe the doctors and make that decision until I seen solid proof but as of now I've seen nothing on the ultrasound machine. Hope everything goes well with you and your in my prayers. I will keep you updated. Everyone on this forum has been so helpful I learn so much from everyone and keep learing

[fawngonzalez]

I wanted to tell you I am sorry for your loss and I will be keeping you in my prayers.

[fawngonzalez]

I will be praying that your little miracle keeps on growing stronger.

[wishing4#2]

I am so sorry! It was at my 9 week ultrasound that i found out the baby wasn't developing and heartbeat was gone!! It is horrible! That was 2 1/2 weeks ago, and I am just now miscarrying.  I am taking medication to help it, and if not getting d&c on saturday! again I am so sorry! I hope maybe they were wrong you are in my thoughts and prayers.

[bny807]

I just wanted to let you know your in my prayers! I had a situation happen back in may-july.. where we had to wait from ultrasound to ultrasound an beta to beta.. and i know how agnoizing each minute of your day can be!    I"m praying that everything turns out great for you and they will find a miracle in there.. when i was going through my situation (which of course i was obsessing about every second) i tried to find stories of hope and examples of simliar.. go to misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com and there are tons of success stories on there! good luck! you and your family are in my prayers! keep us updated!

[Babybaw4]

I am trying to prepare myself for the bad and she even said I was measuring 9-weeks, so I have been waiting all day for my doc to call and give me the HCg results which unsure what she will compare them to, unless she will have me go every week? I will keep everyone informed. Thanks for the support and I am prepared for the bad which I would like to have good news.

[paranoidpatty]

Hopefully you're just not as far along as you thought. But if it's the same size as the previous u/s it doesn't sound too good.  I'd pray for a miracle but prepare myself for bad news.

Her's a big HUG if that helps!

I am very sorry. I hate telling the truth sometimes as it is not the words we want to hear. But, if you are 9wks, you should have seen quite a bit on the u/s, including a good hb. On my 8wk I saw eyes, hb, arms, legs, spine and a well formed nose. It does sound like the growth has stopped. I am so terribly sorry.  Unless, you are not as far along as you thought?

[feather2e]

I am sorry I dont have any answers for you, but hopefully there will be some progress by next weeks u/s.Not all babies grow at the same rate.
