8 Weeks pregnant Fetus with no heartbeat

[ourporsche]

My last period was May 29th, which makes me 8 wks pregnant, I'm spotting since saturday a light brown color, I went to the dr on Tuesday July 22 and did a u/s you could see the fetus, but the doctor says there is no heartbeat.  

He said to wait that I would eventually miscarriage sometime in the next couple of days. I don't know what to believe, I don't have any cramping only once in a while a little pain. This is my second miscarriage in one year.

I have an appoitment on July 31st, he said if I didn't miscarriage by this day, he will give me something that will make me miscarriage in 24 hrs.

My hubby and I are very upset but optimistic that maybe since I was only 7 weeks the heartbeat will be found in my 8 or 9 week


I don't know if I should tell him that I want another u/s.

Please help me.

I am pregnant for the second time.  July 10 I had a miscarriage at about 6 weeks.  I have been taking PregVit Folic 5mg since.  Then in January I pneumonia and when at the hospital I told them there was a chance that I was pregnant....to error on the side of caution they took blood tests and found that I was.  I went for my first u/s on Jan 25 and I was 5 weeks and two days with the fetal pole 5cmW by 2cmDiameter.  I went back for a second u/s on Feb 15th at 8 weeks and the fetal pole is 7cmW by 2cmDiameter...but no heartbeat is detected.  I have been told that this is most likely not a viable pregnancy and that my body just has not recognized that the baby has passed.  But i have had no bleeding, no cramping, breasts are still sore and tender to touch, tired, feel healthy.  I cried, but now hold on to the hope that a heart beat will be heard next week when I go for a followup on the 23rd of Feb.  Pray for my baby...xo

Hi Everyone-
I am 9 w3d had 1st u/s when I was 8w4d.  Was told the baby was dating a 6w1d with no fetal pole.  Had blood work done, hcg at 39500 and then two days later 33000 (obviously not a good sign).  Went in for 2nd u/s on Monday (9w2d) and still showing 6weeks but now they see a fetal pole but no heartbeat.  Since my hcg is going down they are assuming things are heading towards m/c and they suggested d&c.  Going in for one more u/s in a week and then we will decide what to do.  I do not plan on having a d &c I figure my body's natural abilities will take care of it.

I have read a lot of posts on this blog but none have seemed to state the side effects of having a d & c.  Often when you have a d & c it can leave scarring which can make future implantations more difficult.  Just something to think about if you plan on trying again.

I read your post and was so sad to hear that about your pregnancy. 2 years ago I went to my doctor for yearly blood work (I have a few family disorders that I have to keep in check) and was told everything is normal and fine. 2 weeks later I began to POUR blood vaginally, so I dashed off the the ER only to be told I was miscarrying at 8 weeks I didn't even know I was pregnant. It killed me to think that I could have given birth to such a beautiful life had I only known I was pregnant. I cried for almost 3 weeks. My body miscarried naturally. Now, I'm pregnant again, 8 weeks and I walk on pins and needles. The slightest thing and I go to the doctor. I will say this though...as badly as it hurt me, the way I see it, the baby I lost just wasn't strong enough yet. S/he wasn't ready for life and my body wasn't ready to house him/her. I know that if you've had children before that can be difficult but honestly, if you believe in God, then think of it this way, it's God's way of telling you "I'm going to give you a beautiful gift, but you have to be ready for it next time."
