No fetal heartbeat during transvaginal ultrasound at 8 weeks 4 days
I had a transvaginal u/s last Friday, adn the fetal crown to rump length showed 8.4 weeks. Hoewever, we couldn't find a heartbeat. I am due back for another u/s in 10 days time.
My menstrual cycle had been acting rather irregularly from the way it has otherwise done since the first time I had a period in my life - in the sense that my period always starts 5 days EARLIER from the last time, but the last couple of times, it came 5+ days AFTER the last time instead.
I haven't had any bleeding or even spotting whatsoever, and still have morning sickness, hunger etc.....
What are my chances of seeing a growing foetua with a normal heartbeat when I go for the follow-up ultrasound next week (in 10 days time from the last u/s - expected foetal age should be about 10 weeks on that day, ie if my menstrual cycle period can be relied on at all) ?
We are both extremely disappointed at the outcome of the last u/s and wish we could look forward to some hope of having this baby - inspite of all this history ...... so please advise

I told you I'd keep you updated looks like I am having a m/c after all.. I started spotting so I'm letting nature take its course now..
Yea I know its hard to just be open with many people about it. I know whenever I hear comments even if tryin to be comforting I get defensive inside and stop listening to them. I still haven't gotten a 2nd u/s I am waiting to see what happens I can wait I'm a patient person. At the same time I speak as if I am going to miscarry just so I don't get further hurt with my hopes set too high. I have a lot going on family wise drama and it's like everyone just forgets me in the mix and with this and the many others issues I do not feel they truly know the pain I am currently enduring.
How are you doing. Sorry for the shortness of the last entry. I was just very upset and I in no way wanted to upset you. I hope you are doing well and getting some needed answers. I really wish you all the best and please let me know how everything is going.
Everything went ok yesterday, I won't find out really what went wrong for 10 days when I return to the Dr's for the results of my d & e. Not real sure if I want to try again or just leave it to fate. I quess like my sister-in-law had said. If it was meant to be it will happen and if there was a problem with the baby it was probably best to lose it now insted of later or have a child born with some major problems and not that you wouldn't love that child with every breath that you take, you would still wonder why god could allow a child to suffer in that way.
There are just so many factors to think about and yes I am very sad, but you have to believe that everything happens for a reason and you can't beat yourself up about it move ahead and keep trying. Thanks for listening. It is sometimes hard to talk to the ones closets to you about what is hurting you the most.

Aww I'm very sorry to hear that, I hope you are doing ok, and its ok to feel how you do if people tell you otherwise do not listen. I know I felt sad, broken, mad, jealous and thats all ok for now. Continue to feel how you feel and find a way to cope as best you can. I wish you the best. I know its hard and I don't always understand why this happens but just know that now you have your own baby angel watching over you. I'm going to start calling clinics tomorrow to get a second u/s I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. Thank you for posting a comment and giving me hope.
Well I didn't make out to well. No heart beat and no baby. scheduled a D&E for Monday
I would go for a second U/S even if you go somewhere different. I have been sitting around snapping at everyone for the last two week waiting for something to happen, but nothing yet. I don't have my U/S until tomorrow. You can't wait around for a miscarriage and for a Dr to ask you to do so is crazy. Get a second opinion and if they say the same thing than I would schedule a D&C and start trying again. A miscarriage could take weeks and we woman are strong but not that strong. I am waiting only because it looked like things were advancing and my Dr. didn't say anything about M/C or Blight Oveum she just said lets not do anything to hasty and lets wait a few weeks just to be sure. Sometimes the internet is a bad thing. This is where I got all my info that scared the scrap out of me and I have been waiting for days for a reply until today, so thank you.
This is the hardest thing to go through, you already feel like this baby is a part of your family. Don't give up.I will keep you informed and please let me know what is happening with you, all the luck in the world. I hope to hear good news from you soon.
