miscarriage question

[mapes10]

I went to the doctor on Tuesday, and he said that he could not see a heartbeat or fetal pole, and it looked like the sac was collpasing.  I would be 7 weeks tomorrow.  My pregnancy symptoms are getting worse, and it is heartbreaking sitting around waiting to lose a baby.  Any thoughts about how long it typically takes for the miscarriage to start?  This is our first mc.

Thanks for checking in with us!  I know right now things might seem overwhelming, but try to stay positive and take some time to recover physically and emotionally...things will get better...day by day...some days more than others lol =)  Take care!

Not sure if anyone still reads this thread, but I thought I would give an update.  I went to the doctor on Monday, and the doctor could not find a heartbeat.  I had a D&C on Wednesday since it seems like this has already been going on for a very long time.  The hormones are raging now, but we are trying to deal with everything.  Mostly at this point I think we're just scared about the future.  Thanks to everyone for the support.

OMG OMG! I am so happy for u!! I read all the posts from the beginning and when I got to the part about seeing the heartbeat, I was sooo excited for you!! YAY!! I have only had one m/c and it really did a # on me. I was so disappointed. I can't imagine having to go thru that again & for all the people who have to go thru it more than once. It truly is heartbreaking to have a m/c. CONGRATULATIONS!!

[Lance06]

Thats is awesome! I am so happy for you. You must have ovulated a little later than expected!
Congratulations...Best wishes for a happy healthy 9 months!!

I had a m/c in jan about the same time as you and the only answer i can give you is that everyones bodys are different and it all depends when yours is ready to let go x i know this wont help much but when i started to bleed the doctors said everything was ok it was implantation bleeding from starting to bleed it took me six days to pass my clot i know that seemd like a long time but it really helped having my family and friends around x i am sorry i cant be of more help i am really sorry x

[leighanne143]

congrats, see you just must have ovulated later than your thought.

[tarajanes]

Many congrats.......i hope you have a wonderful 9 months...

God is amazing.  We went in yesterday with a list of questions about miscarriages and D&C, and the doctor found a heartbeat.  He said that the sac was a little small but nothing concerning.  It was a complete rollercoaster of emotions.  He had no real explanations, but I know that it was a week's worth of prayer and support.  Thank you to everyone.  We are a little later than he originally thought, but otherwise things are fine.

[bny807]

how did your appointment go?? i was told to wait three weeks if nothing happened then call them, but how the heck is a person supposed to do that and stay sane!? so after 10 days and my symptoms getting worse i called for a repeat ultrasound.. thats when i was diagnosed with a blighted ovum. i'm so thankful i got that second ultrasound, i had MUCH more peace of mind with everything after that!   GOOD LUCK keep us updated , i'm praying that you got good news! : )

[mapes10]

I called and rescheduled my appointment for today.  I just can't bear to wait.  I'm trying to expect exactly what the doctor said, but there's always hope.  I'll let you know.

[leighanne143]

i think you should tell them you want your levels checked today and again in 2 days, that will let you know if things are still rising healthy or falling.

just wanted to say there isnt a start day when u miscarry. i was 7 weeks to. i woke up one mornin with spot bleeding, no pains. then about 1 hr later i just started to bleed really bad. then i got the cramp pains. i went to hospital and they told me the pregnancy was coming away. all u can do is rest. i hope ur ok. xx

[bny807]

so sorry to hear what you've been going through.. i hope that they made a mistake and that you will find a healthy heartbeat/baby in two weeks! i had a differnet situation, but at my 6 week 2 day ultrasound was told that it was measuring only 4 weeks (we did IUI so know exactly when we concieved) and that it was not developing correctly..mc was inevitable (however my dr did say there was a 1% chance so IT IS possible) anyhow nothing happened even after i stopped my progesterone 10 days later as my symptoms were getting worse and worse each day (serious hyperemesis) i went back in for an ultrasound, turns out that my gestational sac and placenta were still attached and growing, no signs of letting go.. but no baby.. it was a blighted ovum...so it ended up taking almost 3 weeks for the spotting to start and that lsted 2 or so days then suddenly horrible cramping and passed the tissue..still cramping and spotting today. i hope you can avoid all of this though and they'll find a healthy baby in there! SO sorry you have to wait around to get any answers, i know how painful that is... and i woulnd't wish that upon anyone! my thoughts and prayers are with you and your significant other!   GOOD LUCK!

Can you get your HCG levels tested and then re tested a couple of days later to see what your numbers are doing?  Sometimes people can't see the baby until later than the 6 and 1/2 weeks.

[mapes10]

I don't have another appointment for two weeks, and I just hate waiting.  The doctor didn't seem to think that there was any possibility, but he was very supportive when I said I did not want to do an D&C right away.  We are just waiting for whatever God has in store.  I am sorry to hear about what everyone is going through, but it is helpful to know that other women have survived it.  Emotions are just running high now.

[kiddiechaos]

hi im sorry so sorry for you both. i had a missed miscarriage 6 weeks ago, i thought i was 9 weeks but my baby had stopped growing at just over  6 weeks, the day i started to bleed everything came away naturally that day, reading the other posts maybe you are slightly less pregnant than what was first thought, fingers crossed for you and you are both in my prayers, take care x  

[leighanne143]

if you are 6 weeks, then one day could change everything.  go back next week for another US.  if that shows just a sac, then unforutantely the baby did not develop, i had that happen to me my 2nd miscarriage.  But there is a major possibility that you will see a little pole if you think you could be a week behind.

[carissarae]

dont give up hope just yet!! if your dates or off it could be too early to see a heartbeat, did your dr schedule another ultrasound?

[dragon471]

Sorry about what is going on in your life. I would not wish it on any soul.I myself have had 2 mc that i know of. It is real easy for me to mc my blood type is Rh- so most of the time it will happen without me knowing that it does because it will happen before i know i'm pregnant especially now that i have been pregnant 4 times (that i know of). But if it does happen to you and i hope it doesn't; never give up everything will be all right in the end. I have two wonderful boys to prove it!

[mapes10]

It is possible that I am only six weeks, but I don't know if that changes anything.  My husband is calling the doc today to see if that changes anything he said.  We are just suffering and looking for answers.  Unfortunately many time we don't get any.  Our faith is strong, but it helps to have people who understand.
