missed miscarriage
I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage on October 2 , 2014 at 10 weeks 4 days and was told id miscarry with in a couple days to two weeks so far nothing has happened and its been a little over two weeks. Any advice would be helpful since my doctor said there is no need for a follow up appointment and his diagnosis final. Should i get a second opinion? I have no bleeding or cramping and still feel very much pregnant. Im 12 weeks 5 days now. really need some advice .
If you did have a confirmed IUP and had a miscarriage and haven't passed anything you need to be scanned to check for RPOC, retained products of conception.
Sorry, diagnosed at 10 weeks*
At home models can detect heart at 10 weeks. It may take a few tries to find it. Start at your pubic line and slowly move up towards belly button. Sometimes it's slightly left or slightly right side as well.

My friend at work was told she miscarried somewhere around 12 wks...never had any bleeding or release of anything. She continued to feel pregnant and her dr refused to do u/s due to her levels dropping. She put on weight, told him she felt movement...he said it was gas and she was just overweight....somehow she got an ultrasound and found out she was 32 weeks with a healthy baby girl! She had to find another dr to take her quick and with no prenatal care....doctors can make mistakes....but dont know why they wont run tests to verify again esp if u have symptoms.....stupid...good luck and hope u get some good news!!
Omg I couldn't imagine this kind of bs run around. Definitely agree with a new Dr and a trip to the er. Hoping all working in your favor!
I had a missed miscarriage and I never passed it on my own. Only difference is my doctors did lots of blood work and tests to determine if it was a m/c. That's nuts that they wouldn't help you out. I went for a d&c after 6 weeks passed because I didn't want to suffer complications that would result in future infertility. You could always see if you can find someone with a fetal Doppler heart rate monitor. See if you can find a heart rate. If you were diagnosed at 5 weeks and it's been 6 more weeks you should be able to detect one. I bought mine on eBay for less than 40 dollars because I was paranoid about having another m/c with this pregnancy. It's a major helpful tool and worth the money.
But that is to long for them to make you wait and for them not to run any further tests!??!!
It's inhumane to do this to you. Go to ant Dr or hospital and beg. Go to your Dr Abe DEMAND ALL OF YOUR RECORDS IN HAND IMMEDIATELY! They are YOUR records.

Yes Hey a second opinion. I strongly believe either way they would want a follow up.
My bf ex wife was told their 6 year old son was a miscarriage. He's healthy and perfect and going to turn 7.

Wow thats unbelievable that they wouldn't want to smh!!! I hope you find an answer soon
This is so bizzar. I cannot believe your doctor won't do blood work or give another ultrasound. This is crazy. Definitely listen to these women. If you go to the ER now and say you are cramping they will do all your blood word and give an ultrasound. Please tell us what they say. This is so weird. Your gaining weight and everything. And honestly....after you go and if you get positive news....I'd take the information directly to your doctor....show him the results....call him every name in the book....and report him to the board of medicine for malpractice. And I'd make sure he knew that I was doing it. Good luck hun....keep us updated please.
Definitely go to the ER and just complain like the others said. Clearly your old doctor has no heart! I know drs have been wrong in the past but he's just being plain rude! Praying all is okay and I'm sure it is! Let us know how it all went :)
Talk about rude (your old doctor)!!! I agree with Jess56m... go to the E.R. They'll do an ultrasound & tell you what they see. Waiting must be torture! So sorry! Thanks for sharing your story... Please keep us posted. I bet your little miracle is alive & kicking in there. Doctors are only people & can definitely be wrong. If your new doctor finds the pregnancy normal, I would sue the first doctor for not following through & pressuring you to do a D&C.
May God watch over you & your tiny miracle!

Still feel completely pregnant and have a very pronounced belly but the Dr even told me my weight gain had nothing to do with pregnancy smh don't know what to think.
What a terrible long wait to get some clear answers. I am so sorry you are having to go through this. Do you still feel pregnant?
If second doctor not helpful go to er and say your pregnant and feel crampy they Will do ultrasound there
can u nt just go a n e n say u hv stomach ache, so then they will hv to run aload of tests this is what my friend had to do because same thing happened to er few months ago x
UPDATE. Well it's been almost 6weeks still nothing , no bleeding or cramping and doctors trying to pressure me to do a d&c but I still refuse they won't do another ultrasound or check blood hcg levels so I have found another ob/gyn for second opinion but just waiting on them to receive my medical records from last doctor.
I will and thanks for the advice im trying to get an appointment with a different doctor will keep everyone updated
I'd get a second opinion somehow. I'm not sure how it works for where you r. I'd switch ob-gyns.
My dr refused to do labs to see if levels where rising or falling. I dont know what else to do other than let nature take its course
I had opted to go through a natural miscarriage because sometimes doctors can be wrong. So sorry you had to go through that I have had two miscarriages before so i know where your coming from i just cant accept the fact that id be going through this again because I havent had any symtoms or anything. Thank you for sharing your story.
