14 weeks and no fetus

[hoping4number3]

On 3May2009 we found out we are expecting out 3rd child--4wks preg! Very excited. My hubby is military and we were 3 wks away from PCSing (moving to another military post) and the hospital where we were couldn't get me in for a check up til 9June. I would obviously be moved by then. They told me to wait til I got to my new post and get seen then. They gave me prenatal vits. So we got moved and I got an appt......not til 13July--14 wks preg!! I was upset it was going to take so long but there was nothing I could do. So I went in for my check up and had the normal pap done and the dr checked for the heart beat, and couldn't find it. They did an u/s and said I had a tilted uterus (which I didn't have with my other 2 kids--now 4 and 2). During the u/s they only saw a sac and no baby. they said the sac was measuring 7 wks? I don't understand at all...LMP 3April2009. I have had no bleeding, no cramping. I have outgrown my clothes and every possible preg symptom. I had my HcG levels checked on the 13th and then today. I was told they had dropped but don't know the numbers. I was told my body would expell or naturally miscarry in 2 wks. Is there any hope? She said I had what's called a blighted ovum. Has anyone else heard of this or had a good outcome? We are going in friday to test HcG again and then getting a second opinon later on. I am praying and holding on to a little bit of hope. Any info is appreciated! BTW--I am Rh- and I don't know if that has anything to do with my HcG levels or not. Thank you all!

How far along were you when they took that measurement? I just went back today to give more blood for the hcg levels to be checked again. No matter what it says I will get a second opinon

My gestational sac was measuring 6wks and they could not see a yolk sac, baby, heartbeart or embryo, they thought it was a blighten ovum as well. Like you this is my third pregnancy and my third baby. It is very upsetting. Don't have a D&C until you get a second opinion or get another ultrasound. I went back in 4 days later and there it was, heartbeat and everything. I also didn't have a tilted ututerus beforek, but with this one I did and that made it hard to see the baby as well. I know this might be the longest weeks of your life, been there done that. I hope all turns out well for you, Good Luck!

ok so today around noon or so I went to the bathroom and there was a little orangy looking discharge. I thought it was the beginning of the miscarriage and started freakin out. I had some slight cramping but nothing period like. Its now 730pm and I haven't had anything else happen and no cramps. I've read online that it could be extra estrogen that has been produced just being released or it could be an infection but if it were an infection it would be contiunous with cramps...what in the heck is this...anyone know??

I will post on what I find out. I don't want to throw the results I've recieved out the window like my dr is lieing but I don't want to give up on a child if one still exists! I don't know if it's mother's instict or just wanting another child or if my hormones are playing with my emotions but I'm not giving up yet!
