Missed miscarriage

Well :( I went to my dr this morning for an ultrasound that I've been so excited about. I'm 7 weeks and was hoping to head my baby's heart beat but instead they told me they didn't hear/see anything and informed me that they believe I've had a missed miscarriage. They told me to come back Monday for another Ultrasound and of everything is the same that I would need to schedule a DNC. My heart is broken! I am 26, no kids. My first time pregnant was this January and I miscarried in Feb and now this :( I am no terrified to ever hear I'm pregnant again. Why am I being tortured like this. I don't understand this missed miscarriage thing. I feel pregnant! Ugh. Why! I'll never know! :(

This is heartbreaking. I went through through something similar. I had two miscarriages, one at 6 weeks and didn't find out until 10 weeks. Just remember it was nothing you did wrong and there is nothing you could have done to prevent it. On the positive side of things you know you can get pregnant. There is hope for a future baby or babies! I'm currently 31 weeks. Your going to be sad for a awhile and that is okay, but don't blame yourself. Try not to stress and start positive

You should read this amazing book-- It's called "Spirit Babies" by Walter Makichen. I think any mom-to-be would love this book, but I think it's even more touching for moms who have miscarried and/or had an abortion. No matter what your spiritual beliefs are, this book will at least warm up your heart if anything! You really should look into it. I am almost finished with the book now and it's changed my entire perspective! I really hope you can get your hands on it! :)

I totally feel for u because I can still remember the pain I felt at "thinking" I had lost my baby but I only had to wait 2 hrs to find out. Can't believe u have to wait thru a whole weekend...try to not stress too much (easier said than done) because if little bean is still in there the less stress the better xo

That happened to me with my 2nd baby but thank God I was able to get an emergency ultrasound the same day and sure enough he was healthy as can be...it could just be he dr not being able to find the heart beat 7 weeks is pretty early still..very torturous that u have to wait until Monday to find out but don't write it off completely..also if ur baby is still there come Monday I would switch Dr's for putting u thru that..hang in there

I would think two miscarriages is sufficient enough to get tested. My best friend had 1 miscarriage and they did testing and found that she was low on progesterone.

No, I haven't had any blood work done. They have told me that miscarriage is so common that they don't recommend needing tests done until I've had like miscarriages+ :[

Has your doctor checked your progesterone levels? That could be a cause for your miscarriages.

At 7 weeks many doctors don't seem to hear a heart beat. At least I hear it happens often. I say give it a couple of weeks and stay positive.

I have had a lot of miscarriages. Two of them were a set of twins. I do have a 7 year old boy. I have a girl on the way now. I wasn't producing a certain hormone that my doctor noticed through blood work. That's how I was able to have my son and now a daughter.  Keep your head up :)

Hi!
I understand where your coming from i miscarried on April 1st yeah on april fools day. I felt horrible and i felt like this was the worst thing anyone can go through. And i always blamed myself. But after a while going to these meetings for finding some help to grief i figured that it must have happened for a reason maybe my baby was sick or didnt have a strong heart and was just not the right time. Dont.give up. Have hope and grief as much as you want girl!!! It took me 2 weeks to finally get out of my house.
