I May be going to have a miscarriage............

[welderartgirl]

Hi everyone, I am sad because I went to the Dr. to get an ultrasound today and they found a sac in my uterus but did not see anything  clearly attached in there, the Dr. told me that I may be too early on to show up on the Ultrasound yet and that it measured 5 weeks which is different than when I thought  I may have concieved, my last MP was 4/21 and I started feeling pregnant at the end of May. Dr. told me not to give up hope yet as it may be too soon to see via ultrasound. She took a blood test to check hormone levels and I get the result tomorrow.  She also told me that I have a 50/50 chance of this working out and to keep up hope.  Wow!  I know what my odds where but I feel so pregnant morning sickness, fatigue, swelling tummy, sore breasts etc... I just don't know what to think or feel now.  But, I am grateful that have 3 beautiful boys and I have that to hold on to, I am dissapointed at the loss of  the possibility of ever being pregnant again sincce I am now 48. I just don't know.

Most pregnancy symptoms come from the placenta, which produces the hormones.  So you can very well have symptoms without having a viable baby.  I am so sorry that this is a possibility.  Good luck!

I am sorry you are going through such stress.  I do understand how you feel, I too have been there.  You are in that wait and see time, and I know that is the worst...the not knowing.  Hang in there, you will have your answers soon.  I hope it goes well for you.

Why am i soooooooooooo  sad?

[welderartgirl]

Thank you for the support, I'm sorry you have gone through so much too.  Best of luck to you to.

Just got lab results back HCG level good, 11858, they will retest blood 12:30 Thursday and then u/s again 3:00 Friday.  Do you think I should just accept I don't have a viable embryo and it's only hormones?

[AnnieBrooke]

Good news about the lab results!  Your next hCG will tell you a ton.  I would not accept that it is not viable until they prove it to me.  :)

Remeber its not over till it's over .  Good luck

[welderartgirl]

That's my opinion too! Thanks Annie, I'm just trying to cope today, it's hit me harder than I realized and I am so emotional, I just keep crying.

[welderartgirl]

I'm trying to keep the faith, it's  just so hard after seeing the  sac like that.

[CheriWasHere]

Could be a blighted ovum, that is what I had.  Just the sac formed.  Nothing seen on ultrasound except the sac at 9 weeks.  Good Luck, I wish you the best!

Your doctor told you not to give up hope yet - and you said that your Hcg levels were good.  Wait and see your blood tests Thursday and Friday.  Will you be getting another u/s ? Did you have an abdominal u/s or transvaginal ?  I'm sorry for your stress and I know how hard it is trying to keep faith but,your doctor left a small room for hope and - however small - its better than none. Keep your chin up and wait to see what happens.  Good luck to you !

I started spotting  very slightly yesterday and now it has stopped.  I am supposed to go for the blood test today. Thank you so much for your concern. I'll let you know what happens.
